Has anyone else noticed that the JIRA (v6.4.1) database URL looks really odd with slashes instead of or in addition to semi colons?

this

<url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@//hostname:port/dbname</url>

instead of

<url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:dbname</url>

This configures a connection via service name (as opposed to SID) – reasons are explained in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-29755 :

  1. High-availability clusters can only be connected to using the service name using a newer URL syntax
  2. The Oracle documentation says that the old syntax is no longer supported as of 10g
