    We just finished a fresh install of IBM Cloud Pak for Data and I need to set up a platform connection to an Oracle database that uses Oracle Connection Manager.  The DBA's are used to administering all database clients using a tnsnames.ora file which I think implies a "thick" connection in Oracle speak.  Now in the New connection screen Cloud Pak already lists Oracle as a supported third-party connection type.  Does this mean that Oracle specific jdbc drivers came already installed?  If so does this support "thick" connections as well as thin?  Is there a way to configure a tnsnames.ora file for this connection?
