Sure. Here's the format (all a one-line string):

frank/knarf@(description=(address=(host=1.2.3.4)(protocol=tcp)
(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=mydb)))

where username/password = frank/knarf, the DB is at IP address 1.2.3.4, 
and the DB instance name is mydb. Just plop that in the connect string 
property of your Z Oracle Database Connection object and it should work.
