    WordPress works with MySQL and Maria. There’s no support for Oracle databases.

    As I said, it’s not supported. Is it possible? Perhaps. https://www.google.com/search?q=use+wordpress+and+oracle+database

    Good luck.

    If all you need is access to an Oracle Database, that can be done in WP plugins and themes via functions in the PHP oci8 extension. What you cannot do is use an Oracle database for WordPress itself.

    The PHP oci8 extension is not part of PHP by default. You must install it from the PECL repository.

    @diondesigns I have actually oci8 configured already in wamp. I was struggling where to do the connection inside WordPress. Your response gives so much hope you mentioned wp plugin would you know specifically why plugin i can use?

    I would be surprised if there were any plugins that do what you want; you’ll probably need to write the code yourself. Your choices are to write a custom plugin or to add the code to your theme’s functions.php file. The plugin route is much better because code in a theme’s functions.php file will probably be deleted the next time your theme is updated.
