Connect to my oracle 12c database with java in Eclipse.So add an additional port forwarding setting, from your external IP address to your VM. Well, if you set up your Port Forwarding as From: 127.0.0.1, it won't work, because your buddy's connection is going to your external IP address.

He should just use the same connection string, with your IP address instead of localhost, and the port forwarding that you set up in VirtualBox should send his connection (using port 1521) straight into your VM. But you have a friend who wants to use the DB with you? Well, that's easy. Let's say you now have your VM up and running, and you can connect to your Oracle DB properly, etc. One more thing! A note on port forwarding. So if you want to connect to the Container, use a colon and the "SID" (orcl in the VM) in the connection string, and if you want to connect to a Pluggable, use a forward slash and the "Service Name" (PDB1 in the VM) in the connection string.Īnyway, this is additional data that I learned after solving my original problem. You connect to the Container to plug/unplug the pluggable dbs (and other things, no doubt). That's because the Container is not meant to be used as a normal DB. If you connect to the Container, you will find that you are unable to create a new User/Schema without prefixing it with "C#", which is a tad awkward. I don't fully understand Oracle 12c and the "pluggable database" implementation, but the rough idea is that you can have multiple databases within a single one, and you can turn them on and off by plugging/unplugging them.

I suppose that the default configuration of the guest OS's firewall did allow for SSH on port 2222, as that worked fine even with the firewall in place, which served to mislead me into thinking that there was something wrong with my database driver or connection.Īs mentions, the correct connection string to access the database is: one that I was using, ending in :orcl instead of /PDB1, connects to the "container database". Turning that off made everything work suddenly. Virtualbox "port forward" from Guest to HostĪnd specifically to the comment from which made me realize that I had deactivated my Mac's firewall, but not the firewall in the guest OS. I solved my issue, after roughly 6 or 7 hours wasted.
