I was using a SQuirrel SQL Client to connect & browse my oracle database servers. I have given the credentials in the connection URL itself. But it still prompts for the username and password. Does it really required to provide additional username/password while establishing connection. Won't it take it from the connection URL?
jdbc:oracle:thin:username/password@my.oracle.server.domain.com:1521:DBName
Won't it take it from the connection URL?
I think No
You need to enter usrename & password.
