MyOra is built on Multithreading, Multiple Document Interface (MDI) framework, which can handle multiple
sub-windows opened at the same time. MyOra allows multiple connections to the same database or
different database. MyOra’s MDI framework provides most easy to use and easy to manage user
interface when working with multiple sub-windows. Sub-windows can be arranged and viewed vertically
or horizontally. Any sub-window can be minimized, maximized or closed at the click of a button.

MyOra 6.4 Jayam Systems LLC Page 4 of 36

 MyOra’s MDI framework allows to monitor performance of multiple databases same time. Also, users can
run SQL queries while monitoring the database. Up to maximum of 100 sub-windows can be opened at
the same time. These sub-windows are of any combination Performance Monitor, Schema Explorer,
Session Monitor and SQL Editors, etc….

For Example: Users can open two Schema Explorers and view vertically or horizontally. One Schema
Explorer for SCOTT@DBDEV and the other Schema Explorer for SYSTEM@DBPROD.

Connecting to the Database

Login
MyOra can connect to database using three different connection modes: The connection modes
are Basic, TNS Names and JDBC URL.

To Login to the database

1. On the toolbar, click the icon .
OR
On the File menu, click New Connection
2. Database Login popup window is displayed.
3. On Database Login popup window, enter Connection Name (optional), User Name,
Password and Connection Type (NORMAL, SYSDBA and SYSOPER).
4. Click one of three Connection mode Tabs and enter data. If you enter data in more than
one tab will results in an error message.

a. Basic mode:

Basic mode connection do not require any Oracle client software on local computer.

 Enter ‘localhost’ in Hostname field, if Oracle database resides on the same

machine.
Enter ‘Server name’ in Hostname field, if database resides on another machine.
 Enter 1521 in Port field.
 Enter ‘database name’ in Database Name (SID) or Database Name (Service
Name) field.

Example 1: If you are connecting to the database MYDEV located on your

Personal Computer then, enter:
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
Database Name (SID): MYDEV

Example 2: If you are connecting to the database WORKDB located on server

SRVR01 then, enter:
Hostname: SRVR01
Port: 1521
Database Name (SID): WORKDB

MyOra 6.4 Jayam Systems LLC Page 5 of 36

 Example 3: If WORKDB database has service name WORKDB.SALES, then
enter:
Hostname: SRVR01
Port: 1521
Database Name (Service Name): WORKDB.SALES

b. TNS Names mode:

MyOra can connect to Oracle database using tnsnames.ora file. This file normally
resides in the $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\ directory.

 Enter database name in Database field.

 Enter file path of tnsnames.ora file in Tnsnames File field.

Example: Sample tnsnames.ora file path in windows based system is shown

below.
C:\OraHome\network\admin

c. JDBC URL mode:

MyOra can connect to Oracle directly using JDBC URL string.

 Enter connection string in JDBC URL field.

Example:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:MYDEV
jdbc:oracle:thin:@ServerName:1521:WORKDB

ServerName = Name of the database server.

New SQL Editor Window opens after successful login.

Login History
MyOra stores history of logins to the database using Connection Names. Every login to the
database is identified by unique Connection Name. All previous Connection Names are available
in Login History Grid for quick login.
To Login to the database using Login History

1. On the toolbar, click the icon .

OR
On the File menu, click New Connection.
2. On Database Login popup window. Click the desired connection row.

MyOra 6.4 Jayam Systems LLC Page 6 of 36

Connection Indicator
Connection Indicator field is located on top right corner of MyOra screen. This field shows User
Name and Database of the current connection. The Connection Indicator field is a List box
(dropdown) field which contains all MyOra unique connections to database(s).

Example 1: If User SCOTT has login to DBTEST and DBQA databases, User SYSTEM has login
to SALESDB and HRDB, then Connections Indicator list box contains SCOTT@DBTEST,
SCOTT@DBQA, SYSTEM@SALESDB and SYSTEM@HRDB.

Using Connection Indicator field you can choose required connection and then open different
features (like Schema Explorer, Session Manager, etc...).

The following example will show how Connection Indicator is useful when multiple MyOra
connections exist.

Example 2: If User SCOTT is already login to DBTEST and DBPROD databases and currently
working with SQL Editor(s). If SCOTT wants to open a Schema Explorer for DBTEST, then
SCOTT must choose SCOTT@DBTEST connection from the dropdown list and click Schema
Explorer icon .

Closing the Connection

Connection Close icon allows you to close the database connection for a selected
connection from Connection Indicator dropdown list. The connection to a database will be closed
only after closing all features (Schema Browser, Session Manager etc...) for that connection. A
pop up message will be displayed, if you try to close the database connection when an open
feature still exists.
