  1. Integrating Java with an Oracle SQL database is commonly achieved using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). Below are the steps to establish a connection and execute SQL queries.

    1. Add JDBC Dependency

    Include the Oracle JDBC driver in your project. For Maven, add the following dependency:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle.database.jdbc</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc11</artifactId>
    <version>23.5.0.24.07</version>
    </dependency>
    Copied!

    For Java 8, use ojdbc8. For Java 11 or later, use ojdbc11.

    2. Establish a Connection

    Use the OracleDataSource class for better scalability compared to DriverManager. Below is an example:

    import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.SQLException;

    public class OracleDBConnection {
    public static Connection getConnection(String url, String username, String password) throws SQLException {
    OracleDataSource dataSource = new OracleDataSource();
    dataSource.setURL(url);
    dataSource.setUser(username);
    dataSource.setPassword(password);
    return dataSource.getConnection();
    }
    }
    Copied!
