I did a search on the forum and did not find anything on this...
I had a heck of time getting oracle connection to work. I was using the thin jdbc driver. On the connection settings screen, no matter what valid info i put (on the step where you input the connection settings and login info) I get the error when testing the connection:
Unexpected driver error occurred while connecting to database
NullPointerException
When i advance to the next screen (set connection name) and then test the connection, I get this error:
SQL Error [12514] [66000]: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
I know my settings are correct because they work with other products (SQL Developer, DBArtisan).
I eventually got it to work, but I had to use the advanced option and input the JDBC url using the TNS definition string.
It might be beneficial to be able to view the JDBC url connection string that DBeaver builds from the Basic settings.
My environment:
DBeaver 1.6.1 windows 32 bit
Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit)
Oracle thin driver: ojdbc6.jar (downloaded via DBeaver site)
