Oracle Database

Connection settings

Navigate to Analytics → Data sources → Add source and complete the following fields:

Field	Description
Source name	A human-readable label used in the UI.
Source type	Select from the supported list above.
Host / URL	Hostname or endpoint URL for the source.
Port	Default ports are pre-filled for common sources.
Database / Schema	The specific database or schema to connect to.
Username / API key	Authentication credential for the source.
Password / Secret	Stored encrypted and never displayed after saving.
SSL mode	Require, prefer, or disable SSL. Require SSL for production sources.

Click Test connection to validate credentials before saving. Errors include a specific reason code to help troubleshoot firewall or credential issues.

Sync frequency

After connecting a source, configure how often data is refreshed:

Real-time — Queries run live against the source on every dashboard load. Best for low-latency sources with indexed queries.
Scheduled sync — Data is fetched on a fixed interval (15 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, or daily) and cached. Best for large datasets or rate-limited APIs.
Manual — Refresh only when you click Sync now. Suitable for one-off data imports.

Scheduled sync intervals depend on your plan. Free plans support daily sync only.
