Using Oracle Database as the query store for the HTTP JSON API

I am testing the use of Oracle Database as the query store for the HTTP JSON API with the following config,

{
  server {
    address = "localhost"
    port = 7575
  }
  ledger-api {
    address = "localhost"
    port = 5011
  }
  query-store {
    base-config {
        user = "SYS"
        password = "Password1"
        driver = "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
        url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:5432/"

        // prefix for table names to avoid collisions, empty by default
        table-prefix = "foo"

        // max pool size for the database connection pool
        pool-size = 12
        //specifies the min idle connections for database connection pool.
        min-idle = 4
        //specifies the idle timeout for the database connection pool.
        idle-timeout = 12s
        //specifies the connection timeout for database connection pool.
        connection-timeout = 90s
    }
    // option setting how the schema should be handled.
    // Valid options are start-only, create-only, create-if-needed-and-start and create-and-start
    start-mode = "create-if-needed-and-start"
  }
}

When I started the JSON API with this config using daml json-api -c myconfig.conf, I got the following error:

Where can I configure the location of this driver?

Hi @rexng,

Your configuration looks correct. Which version of the JSON API server are you using? Is it by any chance the community edition?

Kind Regards,
Mate

Hi @Mate_Varga, apologies you are right. It works fine when I switched to use the enterprise edition of the HTTP JSON API server.
