Talk to your Oracle Databases via LLMs with the SQLcl MCP server

But how do you do this securely?

Rafal Grzegorczyk shows you how to

Create a user with the DB_DEVELOPER_ROLE
Grant SELECT privileges on the target schema
Configure SQLcl access level

How to securely connect MCP to the database (using Oracle DB 26AI and SQLcl) ?
What should we do to be sure of what AI can do using the SQLcl MCP server and what data is accessible to it? Are there any extra security precautions we could take in case AI go crazy? That's exactly

Burning tokens for useful toys continues.

I enjoy using SQLcl but if you (like me) use oradebug for testing, investigating and mostly fun, you will be forced to use SQL*Plus.

So I instrumented Codex to create a plugin for SQLcl to call upidbg, kpusvcrh and kpusvc2hst :)

I started using Make in my APEX projects to keep the SQLcl, etc. commands in 1 place.
There's also a sync script that exports the app before importing and merges the changes with Git →imports don't overwrite what others did in App Builder.
