What is JDBC and what is it good for? JDBC is a set of classes and interfaces written in Java to allow other Java programs to send SQL statements to a relational database management system. Oracle provides two categories of JDBC drivers: JDBC Thin for Java applets JDBC OCI for Java applications Oracle's JDBC Thin driver is a Type 4 driver that uses Java sockets to connect directly to Oracle. It provides its own implementation of a TCP/IP version of Oracle's SQL*Net. Because it is 100% Java, this driver is platform independent. The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is an application programming interface to Oracle databases. It consists of a library of C language routines to allow C programs (or programs written in other third generation languages) to send SQL statements to the database and interact with it in other ways. Oracle's JDBC OCI drivers are Type 2 JDBC drivers. They provide an implementation of the JDBC interfaces that uses the OCI to interact with an Oracle database. You must use a JDBC OCI driver appropriate to your Oracle client installation. OCI is a client side program. JDBC OCI7 works with an Oracle7 client. JDBC OCI8 works with an Oracle8 client. Either of these client versions can access Oracle7 or Oracle8 servers. The JDBC OCI drivers allow you to call the OCI directly from Java, thereby providing a high degree of compatibility with a specific Version of Oracle. Because they use native methods, they are platform specific. The available versions are: Solaris: version 2.5 and above Windows: 95 and NT 3.51 and above Because Java has undergone significant changes over its brief life, you must use a version that matches your Java Development Kit. JDK 1.0.2 JDK 1.1.1 (should work with JDK 1.1.2, but not tested) The Java classes for JDK 1.0.2 contain the JDBC 1.22 classes from Javasoft. The Java classes for JDK 1.1.1 do not contain the JDBC classes, because those are a standard part of JDK 1.1.1. Oracle provides three distribution versions, by platform: Solaris Windows (95 and NT) Other Each of these contains all of the driver versions appropriate for that platform. Hope this helps... but it'll probably just confuse everyone. jim
