We are thinkig of using this approach
```
a:Dataset a dcat:Dataset ; 
  dcat:distribution [ a dcat:Distribution ;
    ex:accessDatabase [ a ex:Database ;
      ex:connectionString "jdbc:oracle:thin:@​hostname:1521:my-database";
      ex:tableName "THE_TABLE_NAME"
  ]
] .
```

Or Alternatively can we define the Database to be the Distribution?
In this case define 
- `ex:Database rdfs:subClassOf dcat:Distribution` and
- ` ex:hasDatabase rdfs:subPropertyOf  dcat:distribution`

Then we can use:
```
a:Dataset a dcat:Dataset ; 
 ex:hasDatabase [ a ex:Database ;
      ex:connectionString "jdbc:oracle:thin:@​hostname:1521:my-database";
      ex:tableName "THE_TABLE_NAME"
  ]
] .
```
