Does Query Streams support Oracle Database natively?

Yes. Query Streams has a native Oracle connector built into the Agent. It supports connections via TNS alias (using tnsnames.ora) or Easy Connect syntax (host:port/service_name). Oracle Database versions 11g, 12c, 18c, 19c, 21c, and 23ai are all supported. The connector handles Oracle-specific data types including DATE, TIMESTAMP, NUMBER with precision, CLOB, and VARCHAR2 correctly.

Can I use PL/SQL or Oracle-specific SQL syntax?

Query Streams executes whatever SQL you write -- it passes the query directly to Oracle through the native connector. This means full support for Oracle-specific functions (NVL, DECODE, TO_DATE, TO_CHAR, TRUNC), hierarchical queries (CONNECT BY), analytic/window functions, PIVOT/UNPIVOT, ROWNUM, and any other Oracle SQL syntax. If it runs in SQL Developer, it runs in Query Streams.

How is this different from OBIEE or Oracle Analytics Cloud?

OBIEE and Oracle Analytics Cloud are full enterprise BI platforms designed for complex semantic modeling, dashboard creation, and multi-source data federation. They require months of implementation, dedicated infrastructure, and specialized skills. Query Streams is purpose-built for one thing: getting live Oracle query results into Excel and Google Sheets securely. Setup takes minutes, not months, and there is no reporting server to deploy or maintain. If you need dashboards and semantic layers, use Oracle's tools. If you need Oracle data in spreadsheets, Query Streams is faster and simpler.

Does Query Streams work with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?

Yes. Deploy the Query Streams Agent on an OCI Compute instance in the same Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) as your Oracle database. The Agent connects to Oracle using the private IP and service name, then makes an outbound connection to the Query Streams relay. No inbound security list rules needed. This also works with Oracle Autonomous Database -- configure the Agent with the wallet credentials and connection string provided by OCI.

Can I connect to Oracle on AWS RDS?

Yes. Place the Query Streams Agent on an EC2 instance in the same VPC as your RDS Oracle instance. Use the RDS endpoint as the hostname and port 1521 (or your configured listener port) for the connection. The Agent handles the secure outbound relay to your spreadsheet users from there. This is the same pattern used for any cloud-hosted Oracle database -- deploy the Agent near the database and let the relay handle external access.

Does Nova AI understand Oracle SQL dialect?

Nova AI is dialect-aware and generates Oracle-specific SQL when querying an Oracle data source. It uses Oracle date functions (TO_DATE, TRUNC, ADD_MONTHS), Oracle string functions (NVL, DECODE), and Oracle join syntax rather than ANSI equivalents when appropriate. Nova reads your actual schema metadata -- real table names, columns, and data types -- so generated queries reference your actual database structure, not hallucinated schema. Learn more on the AI Data Analytics page .

Do end users need to know SQL to run Oracle reports?

No. End users never see any SQL. They open the Microsoft Excel add-in or Google Sheets add-on, select a named query from their list (e.g., "Q2 Revenue by Region"), optionally adjust filter values using dropdowns and date pickers, and click Run. The results stream into their spreadsheet cells. The SQL code, table names, and schema structure are completely hidden. Users only interact with the query name, description, and any filters you have configured.

Can I run multiple Oracle reports at the same time?

Yes. Query Streams supports parallel query execution . Users can launch multiple saved queries simultaneously -- for example, five Oracle reports into five different worksheet tabs -- and the Agent streams each result concurrently regardless of result size. This means a finance team can refresh their entire monthly reporting package in the time it takes to run the slowest single query, rather than waiting for each report sequentially.

Is my Oracle data secure with Query Streams?

Query Streams was built for zero-trust environments. The Agent makes outbound-only connections -- no inbound firewall rules, no open ports, no VPN required. Database credentials are stored locally on the Agent server and never transmitted to the cloud. All queries are read-only (no INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL). End users never see SQL code, table names, or connection strings. Every execution is logged with user identity, timestamp, and parameters for full audit compliance. Your Oracle database is never directly exposed to the internet.
