When using Oracle 11.2.0.4 with ojdbc8.jar, the connector may fail with an error that the database version could not be resolved due to an underlying error:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01882: timezone region not found

We should add a FAQ entry to the documentation to note that when this happens, the user must configure the connector with the following option:

database.oracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false
