If you need to connect to Autonomous Data Warehouse using JDBC via an HTTP proxy, where do you set the proxy details?

The correct way to set the proxy details when connecting to an Autonomous Data Warehouse using JDBC via an HTTP proxy is through the tnsnames.ora file. This file is essential for defining database connect descriptors in Oracle Net Services, which facilitate the establishment of connections to the database.

By providing the necessary proxy details in the tnsnames.ora file, clients can route their connection attempts through the designated proxy server. This routing is important in environments where direct access to the database server is restricted. Setting the proxy information correctly ensures that the database connection attempts will be successfully directed to the Oracle Autonomous Database through the specified proxy.

The sqlnet.ora file, on the other hand, is typically used for configuring various parameters related to Oracle Net communications but does not directly handle proxy settings for JDBC connections. The cwallet.sso file is utilized for storing wallet credentials securely but does not pertain to proxy configuration. Lastly, the ojdbc.properties file is specific to JDBC properties but does not specifically provide a mechanism for setting HTTP proxy details. Therefore, tnsnames.ora is the appropriate location for these settings in this context.
