Datasource Name	The name of the Datasource.
Host	Name of the host machine or the host machine’s IP address.
Port	The Port number.
Service Name	This property is available for an Oracle data source with Thin driver. Name of the database service.
Net Service Name	This property is available for an Oracle data source with OCI driver. The TNS name that is set up through Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.
Login/User, Password	User name and password required to access the data source.
