You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using Composer.
The recommended way to install Composer packages is:
composer require cakedc/cakephp-oracle-driver
Ensure the Oracle Plugin is loaded in your src/Application.php file
/**
* {@inheritdoc}

public function bootstrap()
{
parent::bootstrap();
$this->addPlugin(\CakeDC\OracleDriver\Plugin::class, ['bootstrap' => true]);
}
- CakePHP 4.0+
- an Oracle PHP extension
- OCI8 (PHP extension built with PHP)
- PDO_OCI (PHP extension built with PHP)
For full support, it is recommended to run the OCI8 extension if possible.
While PDO_OCI might be simpler to set up, there are some limitations (e.g.
it doesn't support the stored code layer, so only the SQL layer will be
available.)
Here is an example datasource configuration:
<?php
return [
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'CakeDC\OracleDriver\Database\OracleConnection',
'driver' => 'CakeDC\OracleDriver\Database\Driver\OracleOCI', # For OCI8
#'driver' => 'CakeDC\\OracleDriver\\Database\\Driver\\OraclePDO', # For PDO_OCI
'persistent' => true, // Database persistent connection between http requests
'host' => 'oracle11g', // Database host name or IP address
//'port' => 'nonstandard_port', // Database port number (default: 1521)
'username' => 'blogs', // Database username
'password' => 'password', // Database password
'database' => 'XE', // Database name (maps to Oracle's `SERVICE_NAME`)
'sid' => '', // Database System ID (maps to Oracle's `SID`)
'instance' => '', // Database instance name (maps to Oracle's `INSTANCE_NAME`)
'pooled' => '', // Database pooling (maps to Oracle's `SERVER=POOLED`)
'flags' => [], // Database low level parameters for OCI or PDO connection. Auto-generated by default
'encoding' => '', // Database charset (default same as database charset)
'init' => [], // Array of queries executed at connection
'cacheMetadata' => true, // Enable cakephp schema caching
'server_version' => 12, // Oracle server numeric version ex.: 11,12,19
'autoincrement' => true, // Enable autoincrement insteadof custom triggers in case of oracle 12+
]
]
];For oracle 12g should be used config settings server_version with value 12. If version is greater or equals to 12 the plugin uses new oracle pagination features.
Additional if autoincrement is set to true, then for primary keys in fixtures used new orale autoincreament feature.
As you can see, the className and driver need switched to Oracle-specific
classes. The driver will depend on whether you want to use PDO or not. The
database name "XE" in this case, is defined as the SERVICE_NAME in Oracle's
system-wide tnsnames.ora file.
The above array format is translated into Oracle's
Easy Connection Naming. You can find the logic for this in
\CakeDC\OracleDriver\Database\Driver\OracleBase::getDSN().

- Provide full compatibility with Phinx based migrations
- Provide compatibility with Oracle database version 12
- Transform data types into native PHP types when returned form the database @todo copy todos to the roadmap
