Question

Hi guys , i'm still beginner in oracle ,I've created a database and i need to connect a java application to it ,i mention that i'm using netbeans as IDE (tomcat server is embedded with it),please any help.

Answer 1

Ok , I manage to make the connection to my DB using the help of netbeans ,but i'm only able to run sql statement using the sql editor ,but when it comes to creating a class that does the connection and execute sql statement ,the IDE tell me that there is no driver ,but in reality i'm connected to the database,here's the code i've written to access the db:
import java.sql.*;
* @author XPPRESP3
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection connection = null;
try {
// Load the JDBC driver
String driverName = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
Class.forName(driverName);
String url=" jdbc:oracle:oci8:@db1";
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"Scott","tiger");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.print("no DRIVER ");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.print("no db ");
}
