Are Oracle Cloud databases connections encrypted? - oracle

I have a DB System in Oracle Cloud with a database.
I was wondering if connections directly to the database in the VM are encrypted. I know that connections to AWS RDS databases are encrypted.
I'm connected directly from SQL Developer to the database without SSH tunneling.
The database is inside a VM Machine and not an autonomous database.
Can anyone help with that please ?
Here is the connection string :
Easy connect connection string
someprefix.subXXXXXXXXXX.xxxxxxx.oraclevcn.com:1521/Some_Name.subXXXXXXXXXX.xxxxxxx.oraclevcn.com
Long connection string
(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_TIMEOUT=5)(TRANSPORT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=3)(RETRY_COUNT=3)(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.0.0.85)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=Some_Name.subXXXXXXXXXX.xxxxxxx.oraclevcn.com)))
Thanks.
Cheers,

GCP Datafusion oracle connectivity issues

We're currently having issues setting up a connection to oracle datasources in datafusion (via jdbc) and i'm not sure if i am missing something.
Bit of a background, we had issues connecting to any data source initially so in gcp i setup a vm instance to act as a proxy server (due to it being a private datafusion instance) and used iptables to register the connections.
After this i can successfully connect to sql server datasources, on the vm instance i can ping and telnet all oracle and sql datasources.
Network connectivity tests show datafusion can connect to the proxy and also that the proxy can hit datasources on-prem.
The following pics are of my connection to oracle under namespace admin in datafusion
The ip address is of the proxy instance and the port is what was assigned in the iptable entry
Again this works for sql server. Our datateam can connect to these datasources via bigquery using odbc, but it looks like you cannot use that connection type in datafusion.
Think we have resolved the issue. We noticed the logins being used had older password versioning for oracle 10, 11 etc. Got the oracle dba to create a new user to test and connection successful instantly :)

How to connect to an Oracle database with JDBC

I currently have a connection for MySQL database and connected as:
spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://${mysql.service.host}:${mysql.service.port}/${mysql.service.database}
If I were to change the database and used Oracle database instead then how would the datasource URL change?
jdbc:oracle:thin:#//server:port/service
or
jdbc:oracle:thin:#//server:port:SID
The server entry would be the IP address or network name where your Oracle Listener is handling connection requests. The port would be the port number being used for said listener requests.
Service would be the database service name, if you're connecting to an Oracle Pluggable Database, you'll always need this.
The SID is a unique ID for your database, you could use that, but you're encouraged to use the service instead.
If you wish to make a THICK connection, that is, use an Oracle Client to make a connection to your database, then things get a bit more complicated. I would suggest using THIN until you can't.

Is possible to connect to RDS Oracle DB instance with SQL developer?

I'm trying to connect into my mac with the endpoint that AWS give me but i can't.
Yes, You can.
These are the AmazonRDS settings.
and this is the SQL Developer connection window
database host name should be the AWS endpoint & SID should be the AWS DB Name.
You can connect to database instance in RDS by using the endpoint and the credentials associated with the rds instance
Refer the below link for guidance:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_GettingStarted.CreatingConnecting.Oracle.html
Also ensure that the security group associated with the RDS instance has appropriate port open for oracle connection.

Connecting to Oracle database from another machine on LAN

Am a newbie to oracle, I've Oracle Database installed on my windows machine and I can connect to the database without any problem from my machine using the sqlPlus / SQL Developer. And I have a java application in my machine which needs to connect to the Database using JDBC driver. After downloading the ojdbc driver I can connect to the java application by providing the connection url as jdbc:oracle:thin:#127.0.0.1:1521:orcl
Now, I want to know how can I connect to my oracle database that is installed in my machine (ip address:10.0.xx.xx) from the java application which is running in another machine (ip address:10.0.yy.yy). BTW both the machines are connected in LAN.
Do I need to change anything in listener configuration or in tnsnames.ora file?
I checked these links for reference before posting this question:
How to connect to an Oracle DB from another system
also Cannot access oracle using sqlplus from another machine on the LAN
Please Suggest me how can I do this one. Thanks in advance.
The JDBC url has this form
jdbc:oracle:thin:#HOST:PORT:SID
So if you wanted to connect to an oracle server running on 10.1.2.3, on port 1521 (the default one), and on a database named 'stackoverflowdb' you'd use:
jdbc:oracle:thin:#10.1.2.3:1521:stackoverflowdb

Connecting to remote Oracle database using Oracle Client

I have to connect to a remote Oracle database. Connection will only work with a VPN access to the remote network. I have already setup the VPN, and that is working.
Remote team has passed TNS.ORA settings. I have hardly worked on configuring oracle and neither I am aware of the setup that I need to have on my machine. I just need to run few queries to test the data.
Can somebody guide me on the setup and the configuration I need to have on my windows 7 to connect to a remote Oracle database ?.
My first assumption was to download Oracle client. I downloaded Oracle Insta Client files, but I have no idea how to configure it to connect to a remote database. I couldn't even find any ORA file in the installed files of Insta client.
One you installed the instant client and installed it, you can conect to the remote database by using an easyconnect string. If you are in sqlplus you can do the following:
CONNECT username#[//]host[:port][/service_name][:server][/instance_name]
Lets assume your remote host is remote1 and the service_name is test (This can be retrieved from the tnsnames.ora)
connect username#//remote1/test
