Hi there,

I would like to know, what is database url mean in oracle for example,

database url:
jdbc:oracle:thin@OR900....:1540:OQ0900

userid/psswd : xyz/xyz

DBA has given these details instead of tns entries, to connect to oracle
i am just wondering how to deal with this in sqlplus or sqlcommand prompt.

i tried sqlplus by entering url in host string and username and psswd. but it wont work.

Any insight on this?

Thanks,

If your version allows it (ALWAYS post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals), use Easy Connect Naming Method.

This is a jdbc url that is used to connect jdbc-driven tools to the database. (e.g. SQL Developer).
From it, you can extract the elements you need to fill in your tnsnames (if they support that)
