Quick Intro: Database Tools in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
There is a very good blog post by Brian Spendolini Product Manager at Oracle on Database Tools Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Here is a quick recap.
- In November 2021, the Oracle Database Development Tools team launched a service in OCI. This service, called Database Tools enabled the customerto create a reusable resource for connecting to cloud databases via REST enabled SQL by consolidating all of the pieces of information you need to have to connect to a database.
- No need to remember which database on which server or remembering passwords for database connections.
- Added ability for using OCI policies and defining dynamic groups on who can use these connections.
- Securely store the hostname, port, database name, username, and password creating a reusable, portable resource that can be utilized across clouds, development tools, services, and pipelines.
Cheers.
