Hi,
I installed an ubuntu instance (`Always Free VM On Oracle Cloud`) some time ago.
I use it for various tests, it works without problems, everything is OK.
I created a database, Autonomous Database (version: 19c), also free tier, also in Oracle Cloud.
So, `NodeRed and Database are both in the Oracle cloud`.
I also installed node-red-contrib-oracledb-mod, according to: [https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/interacting-with-your-oracle-on-prem-and-autonomous-db-instances-from-node-red](https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/interacting-with-your-oracle-on-prem-and-autonomous-db-instances-from-node-red)
The problem is that I was not able to connect from NodeRed to the database, it shows me `unconnected`.
It is clear that I am omitting or doing something wrong (probably with Oracle Instant Client).
At this point I started all over again, I installed ONLY:
- **NodeRed server**
- **node-red-contrib-oracledb-mod module**
- **Node.js v16.14.0**
Nothing else.
Can anyone guide me?

Does anyone use Oracle Database?

You could ask the author of the guide that you used.
Todd @recursivecodes is a forum member.
@recursivecodes is also his twitter name if he doesn't pick this up here.

I already sent him a message a few days ago, but he didn't answer.
