Document special behaviour for connection strings with oracle NG

Issue Type:

BugBug

Affects Versions:

2.2.3

Assignee:

Andrea Aime

Components:

Documentation, Oracle

Created:

02/Jan/13 4:50 AM

Description:
  1. Update documentation

http://docs.geoserver.org/2.2.3/user/data/database/oracle.html

writing in the description of option database that also a connection to Oracle RAC with a connection string like

(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=[host])(PORT=[port, often 1521]))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=[oracle_service_name])))

i.e. starting with a “(” is also possible.
This will result in a connection string of
jdbc:oracle:thin:@[database]
so option host and port won’t be used then!

  1. Also add note that a option database starting with “/” will result in a connection string
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@//[host]:[port][database]
    instead of the standard
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@[host]:[port]:[database]

  2. Note: with GEOT-4361 also a connection to Oracle LDAP would be possible and should be documented as well as 1)!
