====== Oracle Database Source ======

Connection to an Oracle database.

**Oracle Server and Client ** \\
Oracle is a client/server database and an Oracle database must be installed on the machine that contains the database files. GeoScene3D needs an Oracle client to be able to connect to the database, e.g., [[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html|Oracle Instant Client]]. The client must be installed on the machine that runs GeoScene3D.
