Connecting to db with jdbc connection

[Charles]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to a database at work that does not use a typical TNS connection. I have a connection string that I use to connect to the database similar to this one:

jdbcracle:thinldap://dbldap.uk.xyz.com:3060/storav,cn=XyzContext,dc=uk,dc=xyz,dc=com

This connection string works if I'm using SQL Developer 4.1 and I'm using an advanced connection type, the default role and the Custom JDBC URL that I posted above. I am still prompted for the username and password but that is trivial. This connection works on a MacBook and a Windows 7 machine. I am not able to connect using PL/SQL Developer.

I am using the latest version of PL/SQL Developer and it works flawlessly using TNS connections or direct (ip address) connections but I am unable to get the jdbc connection working.

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

Thanks,

Charles

J in JDBC stands for Java. PL/SQL Developer is not written in Java: JDBC connect string won't work with it. Use the syntax/files that OCI requires.
