# Oracle Database

## Create Oracle Database Integration

When inside a workbook, click **View** > **Databases**, then click the **+** icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

For detailed instructions, see [connect-your-data-to-workspace](https://datalab-docs.datacamp.com/connect-to-data/connect-your-data-to-workspace "mention").

If you want to experiment with Oracle Database without setting up a connection, you can use our sample database containing computer hardware data ([source](https://www.oracletutorial.com/getting-started/oracle-sample-database/)).

## Query the database

You can now query the Oracle database with a [sql-cell](https://datalab-docs.datacamp.com/work/sql-cell "mention"). Select it in the **Select source** dropdown in the top left corner of a SQL cell, or select the sample Oracle Database connection.
