    <p>Probably not the answer youre looking for but I would seriously question the wisdom of having a mobile device connect directly to oracle, or any dbms.</p> <p>Instead, consider putting a REST or SOAP service in front of your dbms and let your mobile apps connect to that.</p> <p>Some of the benefits include:</p> <ul> <li>When your dbms or dbms drivers change versions, you only have to update your service...not potentially lots of mobile devices.</li> <li>You dont have the credentials to your dbms on a mobile device which potentially gets lost or otherwise ends up in hostile environment where someone can try to brute force whatever way youve attempted to secure the credentials.</li> <li>Your service can support lots of different kinds of clients/mobile devices without having to worry about finding an oracle driver for that device, say iOS, for example.</li> <li>You can more gracefully handle service outage / planned downtime via the service...announcing unavailability or alternatives via service responses, rather than just not being able to get a connection which could be indistinguishable from bad network connections.</li> <li>You'll have a wealth of options for augmenting the service with various caching options, validations, and applying finer grained or context specific authorization than what you might want to implement in oracle. -</li> </ul> <p>Perhaps you really have some hard requirement to connect directly but I think that would be a rare and very specific requirement. The much more common practice seems to be to buffer the connection with a service layer that gives you much more flexibility, IMHO.</p> <p>Good luck.</p>
