Use the Oracle Snap Pack to connect to your Oracle database and achieve read and write access to its objects. 

Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:

  • Get a list of tables in a database.
  • Lookup records in the target table and returns a selected set of fields.
  • Fetch data from a database.
  • Execute SQL statements to delete, update, merge or insert data within a specified table.
  • Execute a stored procedure.

Supported Versions

This Snap Pack by default uses the Oracle 11i JDBC driver. This driver supports versions 11i and 12c. Other versions may work, but that will be down to the compatibility of the Oracle JDBC driver.

This Snap Pack is tested against Oracle 11.2.0.4.0.
