Description

Add a new Oracle source that uses the official Oracle OCI driver (godror) to enable connections to Oracle databases that require TNS aliases and wallet-based mutual TLS authentication.

Motivation

The existing oracle source kind uses the go-ora driver (pure Go implementation), which is excellent for simple direct connections but lacks support for:

• TNS aliases from tnsnames.ora
• Oracle Wallet for mutual TLS authentication
• Mutual TLS (mTLS) connections required by Oracle Cloud databases

Use Cases

This feature would enable users to connect to:

• Oracle Autonomous Database - Requires wallet-based mutual TLS authentication
• Oracle Cloud Database services - Often require mutual TLS for secure connections
• TNS-configured deployments - Enterprises using tnsnames.ora for connection management
• Wallet-secured environments - Any Oracle deployment using wallet authentication

Suggested Solution(s)

Add a new oracle-oci source kind that:

• Uses the godror driver (official Oracle driver with full OCI support)
• Supports TNS aliases from tnsnames.ora
• Supports Oracle Wallet authentication for mutual TLS
• Supports all standard connection methods (TNS alias, connection string, host+port+serviceName)
• Requires Oracle Instant Client at runtime
• Uses build tags (-tags oracleoci) to remain optional and non-breaking
