java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Unknown host specified












1















I have a server name, port number, database name, domain, username, and password.
I entered the connection string using the below format:



jdbc:oracle:thin:@//serverName:portNumber//domain


But got the below error:




java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Unknown host specified




How do I specify the connection string ?

          Without seeing your connection string it is difficult to tell what might be the actual problem, but the error is basically letting you know it cannot reach whatever machine you specified. Here is a good link regarding Oracle connection strings using Java:

          • i cannot put the actuals as it is sensitive information.But i will put something instead of that. i got information like : Server : "abcd.efg.org" port : 1234, database name : "abcdefgh" domain "dfghjklop". My connection url which i gave was : jdbc:oracle:thin@//abcd.efg.org:1234/dfghjklop . My confusion is , SID or server name is the domain name what i have ?

          • You do not actually need the @ symbol in there or the //. It would need to be something like this: Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:nameofcomputerhere:1521:orcl", "usernamehere", "passwordhere");
