Hi, I'm just using the Liferay 7.1 CE installed with Mysql, so far so good.

My problem now is that I need to create a Portlet (Maven or Gradle) that needs to connect to an Oracle DB in order to retrieve some information. It is possible to do that? Do you have any example?

Thank you!

Yes, it is possible, but it is no different than how you would approach it from a java desktop application or a servlet.
