# Oracle Connection

## Initial Step

Prior to running CopyStorm for the first time, create a fresh Oracle database.

## Oracle Connection String

The only complicated configuration required in the CopyStorm Main tab is the Oracle connection string. Clicking on the Connection String Builder button will open a form that will construct the connection string for you, given database information.

You will likely need one of these forms:

* `myDomain.com:1521:orcl`
* `myDomain.com:1521:xe`
* `localhost:1521`

The connection string can be verified by pressing the “Test Oracle Connection” button.

The following is a screen shot of a working Oracle setup on one of our test computers:
