How to Connect Airflow to oracle database

Question

I am trying to create a connection to an oracle db instance (oracle:thin) using Airflow.

According to their documentation I entered my hostname followed by port numb

Answer 1

After digging into the source code, this is what finally how it worked for me:

Conn Type: Oracle

Host: example.com

schema: username

login: username

port: port number

extra: {"sid": "my sid", "dsn": "example.com"}

Answer 2

this worked for me in extra field

{ "dsn":"192.168.x.x" , "service_name":"some.service.name" }

I get from https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/airflow/hooks/oracle_hook.py#L49

Answer 3

If anyone just does not see the connection in the Ad hoc query dropdown - you need to install the adapter: pip install cx_Oracle on the airflow server.

Answer 4

for service name usage, if you leave (port, schema and extra) empty, you can put the full oracle connection descriptor under Host:

(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = mysidname)))

Answer 5

You have a problem in your connection settings, either your setting is not loading properly to the oracle hook or you are missing a python package that save/load your connection settings. You can test it by hard coding your credentials.

https://github.com/airbnb/airflow/blob/master/airflow/hooks/oracle_hook.py

conn = self.get_connection(self.oracle_conn_id)
dsn = conn.extra_dejson.get('dsn', None)
sid = conn.extra_dejson.get('sid', None)
service_name = conn.extra_dejson.get('service_name', None)
if dsn and sid and not service_name:
    dsn = cx_Oracle.makedsn(dsn, conn.port, sid)
    conn = cx_Oracle.connect(conn.login, conn.password, dsn=dsn)
elif dsn and service_name and not sid:
    dsn = cx_Oracle.makedsn(dsn, conn.port, service_name=service_name)
    conn = cx_Oracle.connect(conn.login, conn.password, dsn=dsn)
else:
    conn = cx_Oracle.connect(conn.login, conn.password, conn.host)
