Connect Oracle SQLcl Cloud with a Wallet (mTLS)
SQLcl is a command-line interface used to enter SQL commands. You can use SQLcl to connect to an Autonomous Database with client credentials configured (mTLS).
You can use SQLcl version 4.2 or later with Autonomous Database. Download SQLcl from oracle.com.
SQLcl can connect to an Autonomous Database instance using either an Oracle Call Interface (OCI) or a JDBC thin connection.
-
If you use Oracle Call Interface (OCI), prepare for OCI, ODBC and JDBC OCI Connections. See Prepare for Oracle Call Interface (OCI), ODBC, and JDBC OCI Connections.
-
If you use JDBC Thin, prepare for JDBC Thin Connections. See Prepare for JDBC Thin Connections.
SQLcl with Oracle Call Interface
To connect using Oracle Call Interface, use the –oci
option, supply the database user
name, a password, and the database service name provided in the
tnsnames.ora
file. For example:
sql -oci

When connecting using Oracle Call Interface, the Oracle Wallet is transparent to SQLcl.
SQLcl with a JDBC Thin Connection
To connect using a JDBC Thin connection, first configure the SQLcl cloud configuration and then connect to the database.
SQLcl with a JDBC Thin Connection with an HTTP Proxy
- Start SQLcl with the /nolog option.
sql /nolog
- Configure the SQLcl session to use a proxy host and your Oracle
Wallet:
SQL> set cloudconfig -proxy=proxyhost:port directory/client_credentials.zip
- Connect to the
database.
SQL> connect username@servicename password
To avoid the prompt, connect and supply the password inline:
SQL> connect username/password@servicename
For example:
sql /nolog SQLcl: Release 22.1 Production on Fri May 06 11:59:38 2022 Copyright (c) 1982, 2022, Oracle. All rights reserved. SQL> set cloudconfig -proxy=http://myproxyhost.com:80 /home/adb/Wallet_db2022.zip SQL> connect adb_user@db2022adb_medium Password? (**********?) **************** Connected. SQL>
If you are connecting to Autonomous Database using Microsoft Active Directory credentials, then connect using an Active Directory user name in the form of "AD_domain\AD_username" (double quotes must be included), and Active Directory user password. See Use Microsoft Active Directory with Autonomous Database for more information.
For more information, on the connection types
specified in tnsnames.ora
, see Manage Concurrency and Priorities on Autonomous Database.
