pip install 'openmetadata-ingestion[oracle]'
```
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Configuration

{% code title="oracle.json" %}
```javascript
{

      "type": "oracle",
      "config": {
        "host_port":"host:1521",
        "username": "pdbadmin",
        "password": "password",
        "service_name": "local_oracle",
        "service_type": "Oracle",
        "oracle_service_name": "ORCLPDB1"
    }
