Oracle DB

Oracle DB in Illa is a database integration that allows you to connect and interact with a Oracle DB database. Oracle DB is a popular open-source relational database management system that is known for its speed, reliability, and ease of use.

With the Oracle DB integration in Illa, you can query, insert, update, and delete data from a Oracle DB database using SQL commands. You can also create custom SQL queries and run them within Illa. This makes it easy to build data-driven applications and dashboards that display real-time data from a Oracle DB database.
