title: How to connect to Oracle 11g database using Slick via Play 2/TypeSafe Activator?
body: <p>I am new to Scala and the Play 2 framework. I have a working Oracle 11g database and would like a template to use for connecting to the database using Slick from Play 2.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone provide a sample Scala file that just connects to an Oracle 11g database and output the table values? Once I'm connected I think I'll be comfortable learning Slick and the Play 2 Framework. I understand there are multiple files that need to be edited such as the <code>build.sbt</code> or <code>build.scala</code> file for dependencies and imports into the application file, however I don't understand how it all works.</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a breakdown of the process step by step to get me connected to my Oracle 11g database.</p>
