I do the following-
db is a host with Oracle DB on a remote network
gw is also on remote network.
ssh -L1522:db:1521 -l username gw
Then define you connection in database explorer to use –
Driver – Rcale Thin Driver
USR – jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1522:geo
I use port 1522 on my localhost but anything else will do.
You need to add the Oracle Thin Driver by referencing the ojdbc.jar file when adding a Driver.
