This looks like a JDBC URL which refers to an ODBC driver. But you don't want to use ODBC, you want to use Oracle's JDBC driver (which is a good choice). So check the documentation for your version of the JDBC driver and find out how to format the JDBC URL for that driver.

Our Oracle FAQ contains links to a description of JDBC URL formats of Oracle drivers. Links to driver documentation are there too.
