What you are showing is a screenshot from the MS SQL Server Import/Export wizard. It has nothing to do with Oracle.

You need to create a new connection reference in a PA Solution.

You create the connection reference in the service and then you can pick it from the selection drop-down in PAD

What you suggest @lbendlin is based on assumption that there is a connectivity possible and established between Power Automate Cloud and Oracle database.

This will not be possible if Oracle database is accessible from local network only.

@HazemMsaleh In such case Oracle ODBC needs to be installed on local machine

I haven't seen a way for PAD to use a local ODBC connection? Can you please refer the documentation for that?

hey @lbendlin

I did not use/test so, i should have state that this is my assumption, not something I've tested

Having said that, i see .Net connection string here, among others

https://www.connectionstrings.com/oracle/

Also CDATA has several odbc drivers for Oracle and examples on how to use within PAD:

did you take a look here to see if there are aternatives that works for you ?

https://www.connectionstrings.com/oracle/

What else come up into my mind if none works - can you estabilsh connection via cmd/powershell/vb/python?

If yes then you can use "run script" actions and execute all statements this way passign and receivign outpus
