> This proposes an option to the JDBC datasource, tentatively called 
> "sessionInitStatement" to implement the functionality of session 
> initialization present for example in the Sqoop connector for Oracle (see 
> https://sqoop.apache.org/docs/1.4.6/SqoopUserGuide.html#_oraoop_oracle_session_initialization_statements)
>  . After each database session is opened to the remote DB, and before 
> starting to read data, this option executes a custom SQL statement (or a 
> PL/SQL block in the case of Oracle).
> Example of usage, relevant to Oracle JDBC:
> {code}
> val preambleSQL="""
> begin 
>   execute immediate 'alter session set tracefile_identifier=sparkora'; 
>   execute immediate 'alter session set "_serial_direct_read"=true';
>   execute immediate 'alter session set time_zone=''+02:00''';
> end;
> """
> bin/spark-shell --jars ojdb6.jar
> val df = spark.read
>            .format("jdbc")
>            .option("url", 
> "jdbc:oracle:thin:@ORACLEDBSERVER:1521/service_name")
>            .option("driver", "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver")
>            .option("dbtable", "(select 1, sysdate, systimestamp, 
> current_timestamp, localtimestamp from dual)")
>            .option("user", "MYUSER")
>            .option("password", "MYPASSWORD").option("fetchsize",1000)
>            .option("sessionInitStatement", preambleSQL)
>            .load()
> df.show(5,false)
> {code}
> *Comments:* This proposal has been developed and tested for connecting the 
> Spark JDBC data source to Oracle databases, however I believe it can be 
> useful for other target DBs too, as it is quite generic.   
> The code executed by the option "sessionInitStatement" is just the 
> user-provided string fed through the execute method of the JDBC connection, 
> so it can use the features of the target database language/syntax. When using 
> sessionInitStatement for querying Oracle, for example, the user-provided 
> command can be a SQL statement or a PL/SQL block grouping multiple commands 
> and logic.   
> Note the proposed code allows to inject SQL into the target database. This is 
> not a security concern as such, as it requires password authentication, 
> however beware of the possibilities of injecting user-provided SQL (and 
> PL/SQL) that this opens.
