Learn how to integrate Bubble.io with Oracle Database in simple steps. This guide outlines both the installation of the SQL Database Connector plugin and its configuration.
Oracle Database is a proprietary multi-model database management system developed and marketed by Oracle Corporation. Its primary function is to store, manage, and retrieve information efficiently. It’s widely used for online transaction processing, data warehousing, and mixed database workloads. Oracle Database supports a variety of data types including numerical, textual, date/time, and spatial data. Users interact with Oracle Database through SQL, a standard programming language for managing data in a relational database.

Integrating Bubble.io with Oracle Database involves several steps. Let's break them down.
Step 1: Create a Bubble.io Account
Go to Bubble.io and sign up for an account if you haven't already done so. This process is straight-forward - create a username, provide an email address and choose a password.
Step 2: Create a New Application
After logging into Bubble.io, use the dashboard to create a new application. Follow the on-screen instructions to choose the type of app you want to create and set your app's name.
Step 3: Access Bubble.io's Plugin Section
This is where you will add a new plugin to connect to your Oracle Database. In Bubble.io, navigate to the plugins section. It will be located in the left-hand sidebar under the 'Add plugins' option.
Step 4: Search for “SQL Database Connector” Plugin
Once you are on the plugin page, look for the search bar and search for the "SQL Database Connector" plugin. Click on the plugin to add it to your application. This plugin is designed for connecting your Bubble app with SQL-based databases, including Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, etc.
Step 5: Configure the Plugin
In the "SQL Database Connector" settings, find the "Connection" section.
In the "DB Type" field, select "oracle".
Then provide all necessary credentials for your database - typically, you'll need
Your connection string should look something like this:
oracle://[user]:[password]@[ip_or_dns]:[port]/[db_sid]
Step 6: Establish Connection with your Oracle Database
Click the 'Initialize' button to establish the connection between your Bubble.io and Oracle database.
Step 7: Configure a Query
At this point, you can start executing SQL commands to your Oracle Database.
To do that, go to the “Data” tab, then select the “App Data” option from the dropdown menu. Afterward, click on “Database Connector”.
Here, you can set up different queries to interact with your Oracle database. You can then insert the query in the “query template” field.
Step 8: Test your Query
After you add your SQL query, run it to check if you set it up correctly. Errors may occur if the plugin can't communicate with the database properly or if the query isn't correct.
Step 9: Use your Query
At this point, your Bubble.io app should now have connectivity with your Oracle Database via SQL queries.
To use these queries, you manipulate or fetch data by calling them in your application. These queries are available in the list of server actions under the Server Action's > Data section of Bubble's "Visual Programming" area.
Remember to save your Bubble.io application after making these changes. Your Bubble.io app is now integrated with an Oracle database. Please remember to test thoroughly to ensure that data transfer between your Bubble.io app and the Oracle database is functioning correctly.
Scenario: An accounting firm wants to create an accounts management app for its customers. They decide to use Bubble.io to create this web application for them where clients can manage their accounts, pay bills and access their financial reports. They want to seamlessly manage the clients' financial data stored in Oracle Database and want to create a connection between the Bubble.io app and Oracle Database.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Oracle Database
Application Development: The firm uses Bubble.io to create a web-based accounts management app where clients can interact directly, update their financial data, pay bills, and extract their financial statements.
Setting Up the Integration: The firm lays down the foundational settings by integrating Oracle Database and Bubble.io. The API Integration involves connection setup from Bubble.io to Oracle Database using the Oracle SQL Plugin for Bubble.io. It takes the Oracle Database connection string and username and password to set up the connection.
Data Sharing Workflow: Once the client updates any financial data on the Bubble.io app, the workflow is triggered. The updated data is sent directly to the Oracle Database via the Oracle SQL Plugin for Bubble.io, and the relevant tables in the Oracle Database are updated. Similarly, when a client requests a financial statement, the plugin retrieves the data from Oracle Database and presents it in the app.
Notifications and Alerts: By creating workflows in Bubble.io, the firm could automate sending notifications to clients when due dates for bill payments are approaching or when any unusual activity is identified in the accounts.
Monitoring and Analytics: The firm has direct access to the Oracle Database where they can generate reports and analyze the financial data of their clients. By looking at the transactions logs, they can keep track of any changes made in the app and the database.
Benefits:
By integrating Bubble.io with Oracle Database, the accounting firm can provide a user-friendly web application for its clients and manage their financial data more effectively in Oracle Database.
