How can I connect to Oracle Database 11g server through ssh tunnel chain (double tunnel, server in company network)?

问题

I have SSH access to 'public' server, which is also the gateway to company network. There is another server in the network, where local Oracle Database server is running (There is no access from outside of this server, only localhost DB connections are accepted). And of course, I have another SSH access to this server.

Is there any way to join to this Oracle Database 11g Server from outside of the network ? I am asking if there is something like ssh tunnel chain, and how i configure it. This can be usefull, for example, for TOAD for Oracle (ORACLE client).

EDIT: Here is image

Thanks

Yes, it's possible. E.g. on Linux, run

ssh -N -Llocalport:dbserver:dbport yourname@connectionserver

where

localport is the port on your machine which will be forwarded (can be 1521 if there is no local instance of oracle running)
dbserver is the name or IP of the database server
dbport is the port of the database (usually 1521)
yourname is the login on the connectionserver
connectionserver is the machine where you have ssh access

The same can be done on Windows using Plink (which comes with Putty):

plink -N -L localport:dbserver:dbport yourname@connectionserver

Do this on both machines (your local machine and the server you have access to) to chain the ssh tunnels. Example:

Connection server (assuming Linux):

ssh -N -L1521:dbserver:1521 dblogin@dbserver

Your PC:

plink -N -L 1521:connectionserver:1521 connlogin@connectionserver

The tnsnames.ora entry must look like you are running a local database, e.g.

prodoverssh =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = prod)
    )
  )

I called ssh -N -LXXXX:server:YYYY login@server twice.

First, I called

ssh -L 9998:127.0.0.1:9997 login@gate.company.cz

on my PC.

Then, on this server (during the SSH session), I called

ssh -L 9997:localhost:1521 root@192.168.105.111

where 192.168.105.111 is server where ORACLE was running.

So what I did is following redirection:

1521 (COMPANY ORACLE SERVER) 
  -> 9997 (COMPANY GATEWAY SERVER)
     -> 9998 (LOCAL PC)

So I got ORACLE access in my local PC at port 9998 !

you can add as well the -f option which run the ssh command in the background.
