titleOracle PDB containers

1For Oracle 12c and above, if you are using PDB (pluggable database) containers, you should use a '/' instead of ':' before [SID], so that [SID] is treated as a SERVICE name rather than an SID.

There is also an option to add the line 'USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_listener=on' to the tnsnames.ora Oracle configuration file. This allows you to treat SID's as service names by default. This is provided by Oracle as a workaround for users who have hard-coded connection strings that are difficult to change by hand, and so should not be necessary for PhixFlow configuration.

For more information, see the following Oracle documentation links:

USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_listener

Introduction to the Multitenant Architecture (including an explanation of PDB's)


Note

PhixFlow does not support Oracle's MySQL. If you choose to use it anyway, the database URL would be jdbc:mysql://hostname/phixflow.
