# oracledb_session
Use the `oracledb_session` InSpec audit resource to test SQL commands run against a Oracle database.
<br>
## Syntax
A `oracledb_session` resource block declares the username and password to use for the session with an optional service to connect to, and then the command to be run:
describe oracledb_session(user: 'username', password: 'password', service: 'ORCL.localdomain').query('QUERY').row(0).column('result') do
its('value') { should eq('') }
end
where
* `oracledb_session` declares a username and password with permission to run the query (required), and an optional parameters for host (default: `localhost`), SID (default: `nil`, which uses the default SID, and path to the sqlplus binary (default: `sqlplus`).
* `query('QUERY')` contains the query to be run
* `its('value') { should eq('') }` compares the results of the query against the expected result in the test
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test for matching databases
sql = oracledb_session(user: 'my_user', pass: 'password')
describe sql.query('SELECT NAME AS VALUE FROM v$database;').row(0).column('value') do
its('value') { should cmp 'ORCL' }
end
### Test for matching databases with custom host, SID and sqlplus binary location
sql = oracledb_session(user: 'my_user', pass: 'password', host: 'oraclehost', sid: 'mysid', sqlplus_bin: '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/bin/sqlplus')
describe sql.query('SELECT NAME FROM v$database;').row(0).column('name') do
its('value') { should cmp 'ORCL' }
end
