Not able to connect to oracle database using JDBC if password is having special characters

Question

I am trying to connect to oracle database using JDBC.

following is the code::

public class OraclePwdTest {
static{
    try {           
        Clas         


        

Answer 1

When special characters are there in username, password or connection string like @, / etc., we have to include it within double quoted, for example, if the password is p@ssword we connect in sqlplus as username/"p@ssword"@database

You can try the same in java by enclosing your password in double quotes using escape characters, try changing

String pwd = "s@novi123";

to

String pwd = "\"s@novi123\"";

I am not a java expert, just guessed the scape character should be \ ;-)

Answer 2

A simple code would looks like this... As you are using thin driver you don't need to complicate with all those values from tnsnames.ora.

        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("user", username);
        properties.setProperty("password", password);
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<DB_HOST>:<PORT>:<SID>, properties);

ie. jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.20.145:1521:oradg
