Synapse Notebook - Read Data From Oracle DB

Has anybody read data into a Synapse notebook (Python, pyspark) from an Oracle data source? I've tried getting the correct JDBC driver as a .jar, but adding it as a library does not work. I've also tried going the pyODBC route, but I consistently get login timeouts.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

    Hi @NPizzuti ,

    Thankyou for using Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question.

    In order to read data from oracle DB using Pyspark inside synapse notebook, kindly try adding the .jar here (ojdbc8-19.15.0.0.1.jar) to the Synapse workspace packages and then adding that package to the Apache spark pool (to know more about this process kindly check this video) and execute the following code:

    host = 'my_host_url'  
    port = 1521  
    service_name = 'my_service_name'  
      
    jdbcUrl = f'jdbc:oracle:thin:@{host}:{port}:{service_name}'  
    sql = 'SELECT * FROM my_table'  
    user = 'my_username'  
    password = 'my_password'  
    jdbcDriver = 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'  
      
    jdbcDF = spark.read.format('jdbc') \  
        .option('url', jdbcUrl) \  
        .option('query', sql) \  
        .option('user', user) \  
        .option('password', password) \  
        .option('driver', jdbcDriver) \  
        .load()  
    display(jdbcDF)  
    

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
