Related to #14, the convenience `oracle` method assumes the url connecting to an oracle database will follow [one type of connection][1], but not service name mappings, which are growing more popular with Oracle's Exadata system.

Possible service name mapping:

```
jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@//myhost:1521/myservicename
```

see [this link][2] for some more references (also mentioned in #14)
