Quick Installation

composer require yajra/laravel-oci8:^11

Service Provider (Optional on Laravel 5.5+)

Once Composer has installed or updated your packages you need to register Laravel-OCI8. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key and add:

Yajra\Oci8\Oci8ServiceProvider::class,

Configuration (OPTIONAL)

Finally you can optionally publish a configuration file by running the following Artisan command. If config file is not publish, the package will automatically use what is declared on your .env file database configuration.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=oracle

This will copy the configuration file to config/oracle.php.

Note: For Laravel Lumen configuration, make sure you have a config/database.php file on your project and append the configuration below:

'oracle' => [
    'driver'         => 'oracle',
    'tns'            => env('DB_TNS', ''),
    'host'           => env('DB_HOST', ''),
    'port'           => env('DB_PORT', '1521'),
    'database'       => env('DB_DATABASE', ''),
    'service_name'   => env('DB_SERVICE_NAME', ''),
    'username'       => env('DB_USERNAME', ''),
    'password'       => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
    'charset'        => env('DB_CHARSET', 'AL32UTF8'),
    'prefix'         => env('DB_PREFIX', ''),
    'prefix_schema'  => env('DB_SCHEMA_PREFIX', ''),
    'edition'        => env('DB_EDITION', 'ora$base'),
    'server_version' => env('DB_SERVER_VERSION', '11g'),
    'load_balance'   => env('DB_LOAD_BALANCE', 'yes'),
    'dynamic'        => [],
    'max_name_len'   => env('ORA_MAX_NAME_LEN', 30),
],

Then, you can set connection data in your .env files:

DB_CONNECTION=oracle
DB_HOST=oracle.host
DB_PORT=1521
DB_SERVICE_NAME=orcl
DB_DATABASE=xe
DB_USERNAME=hr
DB_PASSWORD=hr

If you want to connect to a cluster containing multiple hosts, you can either set tns manually or set host as a comma-separated array and configure other fields as you wish:

DB_CONNECTION=oracle
DB_HOST=oracle1.host, oracle2.host
DB_PORT=1521
DB_SERVICE_NAME=orcl
DB_LOAD_BALANCE=no
DB_DATABASE=xe
DB_USERNAME=hr
DB_PASSWORD=hr

If you need to connect with the service name instead of tns, you can use the configuration below:

'oracle' => [
    'driver' => 'oracle',
    'host' => 'oracle.host',
    'port' => '1521',
    'database' => 'xe',
    'service_name' => 'sid_alias',
    'username' => 'hr',
    'password' => 'hr',
    'charset' => '',
    'prefix' => '',
]

In some cases you may wish to set the connection parameters dynamically in your app. For instance, you may access more than one database, or your users may already have their own accounts on the Oracle database:

'oracle' => [
    'driver' => 'oracle',
    'host' => 'oracle.host',
    'port' => '1521',
    'service_name' => 'sid_alias',
    'prefix' => 'schemaowner',
    'dynamic' => [App\Models\Oracle\Config::class, 'dynamicConfig'],
]

The callback function in your app must be static and accept a reference to the $config[] array (which will already be populated with values set in the config file):

namespace App\Models\Oracle;

class Config {

    public static function dynamicConfig(&$config) {

        if (Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth::check()) {
            $config['username'] = App\Oracle\Config::getOraUser();
            $config['password'] = App\Oracle\Config::getOraPass();
        }

    }
}

Then run your laravel installation...

Oracle Max Name Length

By default, DB object name are limited to 30 characters. To increase the limit, you can set the ORA_MAX_NAME_LEN=128 in your .env file.

Note: this config requires Oracle 12c02 or higher.

[Laravel 5.2++] Oracle User Provider

When using oracle, we may encounter a problem on authentication because oracle queries are case sensitive by default. By using this oracle user provider, we will now be able to avoid user issues when logging in and doing a forgot password failure because of case sensitive search.

To use, just update auth.php config and set the driver to oracle

'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'oracle',
        'model' => App\User::class,
    ],
]
