Oracle Database is an enterprise-grade relational database management system known for high availability, scalability, and advanced security features. With BonData, you can connect directly to your Oracle Database to read, enrich, and act on your data within Agent workflows.

​
Database Connection

BonData connects directly to your Oracle Database using standard connection credentials.

​
Step 1: Prepare Your Database

Ensure your Oracle Database is accessible from BonData’s IP addresses. You may need to:
  1. Configure your firewall to allow connections on port 1521 (or your custom port)
  2. Verify the listener is configured to accept remote connections
For security, create a dedicated read-only user for BonData: 
-- Create a user for BonData
CREATE USER bondata_user IDENTIFIED BY your_secure_password;

-- Grant basic connection privileges
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO bondata_user;

-- Grant select access on specific tables
GRANT SELECT ON schema_name.table_name TO bondata_user;

-- Or grant select on all tables in a schema
BEGIN
  FOR t IN (SELECT table_name FROM all_tables WHERE owner = 'SCHEMA_NAME') LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA_NAME.' || t.table_name || ' TO bondata_user';
  END LOOP;
END;
/

​
Step 3: Gather Connection Details

Collect the following information:
  • Host: Your database server hostname or IP address
  • Port: Usually 1521
  • Service Name: The Oracle service name (e.g., ORCL)
  • User: The username created above
  • Password: The password for the user

​
Step 4: Connect in BonData

Enter your connection details in BonData to establish the connection.
