Installing Oracle Client libraries for Cloudera Data Visualization

Cloudera Data Visualization supports the use of external databases as a metastore. When using Oracle as the metastore, additional setup steps are required beyond the ones needed for MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL, as Cloudera Data Visualization does not include an Oracle database connector.

To enable connectivity to an Oracle metastore, you must install the Oracle client libraries on each host running the Cloudera Data Visualization webserver.

Download the appropriate Oracle Instant Client libraries for your operating system from the official Oracle website.
Follow the installation instructions provided on the Installing Oracle Instant Client page.
