Example 1: Via the Oracle JDBC Driver

This topic introduces how to set up a JDBC Connection via the Oracle JDBC Driver.

Assume that:

• You have already installed the Oracle JDBC driver, and have appended the archive files of the thin driver to the ADDCLASSPATH variable in the file setenv.bat in <designer_install_root>\bin.
• The Oracle database server has the name p02_wuhb, port number 1521, database orcl, user name scott and password tiger.
• A catalog has been created with a default data source.

Take the following steps to set up a connection which connects Logi JReport Designer to a database via the Oracle JDBC driver:

1. Start Logi JReport Designer and open the catalog.
2. In the Catalog Manager, right-click the node of the default data source and select New JDBC Connection from the shortcut menu. Select JDBC in the Select Connection Type dialog.
3. In the Get JDBC Connection Information dialog, enter the JDBC driver class name oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver in the Driver text field.
4. In the URL text field, specify the URL in the format jdbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:<port>:<SID>. In this example, enter jdbc:oracle:thin:@p02_wuhb:1521:orcl.
5. Input the user name scott and password tiger respectively.

   

6. Select OK to set up the connection.
