@zeginis , making a database a subclass of `dcat:Distribution` have some issues.
Formally speaking, a database is a service from which a distribution is available. The approach you describe conflicts with the pattern defined in DCAT where, in such cases, the service should be pointed to from a distribution, and not described itself as a distribution. This also leads to interoperability issues.
You may consider revising your approach as follows:
````turtle
a:dataset-001 a dcat:Dataset ;
dct:title "Dataset about YYY"@en ;
dcat:distribution [ a dcat:Distribution ;
dct:title "..."@en ;
ex:accessDatabase a:database-001 ] .
a:dataset-002 a dcat:Dataset ;
dct:title "Dataset about ZZZ"@en ;
dcat:distribution [ a dcat:Distribution ;
dct:title "..."@en ;
ex:accessDatabase a:database-001 ] .
a:database-001 a ex:Database ;
ex:connectionString "jdbc:oracle:thin:@​hostname:1521:my-database";
ex:accessTable [ a ex:Table ;
ex:tableName "Table1";
dct:subject a:dataset-001] ;
ex:accessTable [ a ex:Table ;
ex:tableName "Table2"
dct:subject a:dataset-002] .
