Oracle Database

Create a User

As a DBA or SYSDBA, create a dedicated read-only user for Dot.

CREATE USER dot_reader IDENTIFIED BY '<something secret>';
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO dot_reader;

Grant Read Access to Data

For each schema you want Dot to access, grant SELECT on all tables.

BEGIN
  FOR t IN (SELECT table_name FROM all_tables WHERE owner = '<SCHEMA>') LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON <SCHEMA>.' || t.table_name || ' TO dot_reader';
  END LOOP;
END;
/

Note: Replace <SCHEMA> with the schema/owner name (e.g. HR, SALES). Repeat for each schema you want to expose to Dot.

To also grant access to views:

BEGIN
  FOR v IN (SELECT view_name FROM all_views WHERE owner = '<SCHEMA>') LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT ON <SCHEMA>.' || v.view_name || ' TO dot_reader';
  END LOOP;
END;
/

Connection Details

In Dot, use these fields:

  • Host: Your Oracle server hostname or IP address

  • Port: 1521 (default Oracle listener port)

  • Service Name: Your Oracle service name (e.g. ORCL, XEPDB1, FREEPDB1)

  • Username: dot_reader

  • Password: The password you set above

Dot connects directly using Oracle's TNS protocol (Thin mode) — no Oracle Client installation is required on the Dot side.

Allow Dot IPs

If your organization uses a firewall to manage Oracle access, Dot will only access your database through the following IPs:

  • 3.229.110.216

  • 3.122.135.165
