For detailed instructions, see [Connect your data to DataLab](/connect-to-data/connect-your-data-to-workspace.md).

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](/work/sql-cell.md). Select it in the **Select source** dropdown in the top left corner of a SQL cell, or select the sample Oracle Database connection.
