Changing JDBC Drivers

We are experiencing the following problem in JDeveloper and we
hoping to get some help as to how to proceed with this problem:
The question is: Can I change a driver specification on a
workspace after the workspace has been created using another
specified driver?
If I 1) specify a connection with a specific driver and url,
then 2) make a business component that relies on that
connection, then 3) make a jsp to present the results of that
database call and business logic, all is fine. However, if I
change the connection (both the driver class and the url) and
try again, only the changed url is acknowledged and the BC4J
tries to use that url with the original driver class I had
specified. I am using the JVM argument -Djbo.debugoutput=console
to see this.
A simple way for anyone to experience this is to do the above
using the odbc driver, then change the connection to use the
oracle thin driver. The console will report "no suitable driver"
and show that it is using the ODBC driver with the thin driver
url.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the connection driver getting
stored somewhere else other than connection.properties? Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dalia

Usually I prefer tools that are multi-platform but I don't fault SQL Developer for being oracle-specific. The flipside of multi-purpose tools is that they tend to do a poor job leveraging platform specific features. That's why you don't tend to see many with stored procedure editor/compilers -- and when you do, they all act a bit wonky. Plus they tend abstract away the platform specific stuff -- yeah yeah abstraction is great, but it's nice to have the option of unique features.
I see SQL Developer as a replacement of SQLPlus of sorts. It's very nice, but I think it should stay focused on being good in that domain rather than being a general purpose tool.

JAR files for SQLJ and JDBC drivers: what is the best practice?

starting a migration from IAS 10 to WebLogic 11g.
Apparently the jar files for SQLJ are not on the classpath by default.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sqlj/runtime/ref/DefaultContextwhich is the better practice: putting the SQLJ runtime jar into the lib subdirectory of the domain directory, or using a shared library reference? (usage of SQLJ is pretty prevalent in our apps, though we may be getting away from it)
are the Oracle JDBC drivers on the classpath by default?
if not, then the same question: put them into the lib subdirectory of the domain directory, or use a shared library reference?

I'm looking at the setDomainEnv, especially the big note at the top:
>
# WARNING: This file is created by the Configuration Wizard.
# Any changes to this script may be lost when adding extensions to this configuration.
>
and am getting squeamish about editing it...
http://www.bea-weblogic.com/how-do-i-disable-wls-automatically-adding-to-classpath.html looks like the default behaviour is for WebLogic to put $DOMAIN/lib;$WL_HOME/common/lib/ext;$WL_HOME/server/lib/ext on the classpath; there is also a reference to setting weblogic.ext.dirs= when starting weblogic (which means I set the WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS environment variable).
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/programming/libraries.html#wp1067450 also refers at the bottom to using the domain /lib subdirectory.
so am I correct that a good practice is to just put the jars I think I will globally need into $DOMAIN/lib, rather than putting them in $WL_HOME/common/lib/ext, $WL_HOME/server/lib/ext, or fiddling with the WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS environment variable?

Oracle.sql.* with JDBC drivers 8.0.5

the oracle.sql package is not included in my JDBC driver file classes111.zip given for oracle data server version 8.0.5.
I would like to use the oracle STRUCT and ARRAY type for calling PL/SQL stored procedures taking STRUCT objects in arguments.
Are the JDBC drivers 8.1.* compatible with the oracle data server 8.0.5 (if I only use the STRUCT or ARRAY types)? Is it a way for passing ARRAY of VARCHAR2 values to PL/SQL stored procedure with the oracle 8.0.5 JDBC driver?
thanks

Unfortunately, these classes (oracle.sql.STRUCT and oracle.sql.ARRAY) are not compatible to 8.0 database. There is server format changes between 8.1 and 8.0, and JDBC driver only supports the 8.1 format.
Please upgrade your database to 8i.

Oracle JDBC Drivers with Tomcat

I try to connect to Oracle DB with the JDBC Drivers throught Tomcat JNDI access.
I've tried with the oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver and I have an UnsupportedOperationException when calling the getConnection() method on ma dataSource ref.
So I've tried with the oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource and I have an java.sql.SQLException:
Cannot create JDBC driver of class
'oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource' for connect URL
'jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address=(host=meditws322)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)
)(connect_data=(sid=HABILLE)))'
Please help I'm about to break down

Thanks for your reply. I use Oracle JDBC driver. The XSQLConfig.xml was changed to have the following setting:
<connection-manager>
<factory>oracle.xml.xsql.XSQLOracleDatasourceConnectionManager</factory>
</connection-manager>
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.x and Apache Commons DBCP Datasources with org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory. The configuration file does set driverClassName to oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver. All other queries embedded in .xsql files work great, I only have issues with queries containing CURSOR() statements. If I switch back to built-in database connectivity, by changing XSQLConfig.xml and connection parameters in .xsql files everything is working again. When I attempt to use DataSources, I get things like this "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImpl@15780d9" instead of nested XML. The non-nested portion of XML looks fine also, so it is retrieving the data from the database properly. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information that could help in resolving this. Thanks in advance!

Oracle 8.0.6 JDBC Drivers download

We are working with an Oracle 8.0.6 Database installed in a Sun Solaris machine.
Now we need to execute a batch program in a Windows 2000 PC. We wanted to know if we can use the JDBC Drivers used in the Sun Solaris version or we have to download another class files.
Thanks a lot.

Ok i have solved the problem. I tried playing with the URL string, and started getting a Refused error along with the other erros. I noticed that i was not using the oracle user/pwd instead was using unix user/pass. I was also using the wrong tnsname that didnt match the IP.
I changed that and
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database>";
where <database> is
@IP:portno:tnsname
and wooolllaaaa it worked.

JDBC Drivers in 11g R1 vs. R2

Is there a major difference between JDBC drives of ORacle 11gR1 and R2?

Which version of JDBC drives you are talking about??? the one that comes with R1 vs. R2
If 'major' means 'is there something new?', such a question is answered in the New Features Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17128/toc.htm
(And indeed there are some enhancements for JDBC drivers).
Werner The 'major' to the extent that J2EE app need changes. Are they backward compatible with previous versions up to 10g?
My knowlege of Java or JDBC is limited.

Thin JDBC Drivers Insert Strings Incorrectly

Can anyone confirm or deny this.
I've downloaded the latest Oracle 8i JDBC drivers. If I create a table:
CREATE TABLE Moo (stringCol VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL);
and I try to insert an empty String into Moo.stringCol, the JDBC drivers try to insert Null instead! Yet if I try and insert a String of one character in length, it inserts it correctly.
Clearly it would seem the JDBC drivers are at fault.
Anyone come across this?

No, the drivers are performing correctly. In Oracle, an empty string in a varchar or varchar2 column is considered NULL. Regardless of what protocol or language you use to access the database, this will hold true.

3rd Party Access 2000 JDBC Drivers

Wondering if anyone can recommend or rate any 3rd party MS Access JDBC drivers - I am running an app using Tomcat 4.0.2, on Windows 2K, currently using the JDBC/ODBC bridge from Sun, looking for something a little more specific and reliable for my app - company willing to spend the $$ to get something good.
Thanks!
Geoff

hi Geoff ,
I would recommend you the aveconnect driver from Atinav. It is a type 3 driver, and is a reliable and nice implementation. We have been using it for quite some time now and our developers here have seen it to be quite efficient and good.
this url may help you..
http://www.atinav.com/products/aveconnect/MSAccess.htm
they provide a 30 day trial, and was worth a buy..
hope that helps,

Where are the latest java docs for the 9i JDBC drivers

Hi, I'm trying to locate the java docs for the latest 9i JDBC drivers. I have searched all over the otn and oracle sites and still haven't found them. Does anyone know where they can be found.
Thanks,
Simon

I believe they're right on the download page where you download the drivers.

Mysql jdbc drivers not found in weblogic server

I want to create a connection pool in weblogic server,
and use mysqldatabase.

I put the jar in "D:\bea\weblogic700\server\lib" ,but when i apply ,there is
an error blow:

Can anybody tell me why,thanks!

Weblogic has been designed for nannies...
I've developed a application which uses internally my own jdbc-driver.
After months of really hard work on tomcat (the application works fine) I've tried migrate it to weblogic.
But ...
In weblogic seems mandatory to put the jdbc drivers out of the war!!!. Brilliant!!!
If I move the driver out, I need move the 50% of the application out, also!
If I move part of the application out, nothing works, because... �are the class loaders distinct?. And I'll need to do a lot of extra work because one day one weblogic architect had a great great inspiration.
In the future I'll suggest to my customers to run and not stop when they listen the WEBLOGIC word.

Pablo

Program to list JDBC drivers

Hi everyone,
I use the following code to list JDBC drivers on my system.
private static void listDrivers() {
//Get all the JDBC drivers
Enumeration<Driver> driverList = DriverManager.getDrivers();
//print out all the drivers using a loop
while (driverList.hasMoreElements()) {
Driver jdbcDriver = (Driver)driverList.nextElement();
System.out.println("JDBC Driver: " + jdbcDriver);
It lists JDBC-ODBC bridge:
JDBC Driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver@19efb05
After I installed Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver. I ran the above program again. Expecting it would return this new driver as well. But, the output is still the same.
Why??? What did I do wrong? How do I get the program to list all the JDBC drivers on my system?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Where you went wrong was in assuming that just having a jar somewhere on your computer will automatically put it on the classpath of your little application.
Or maybe you went wrong in assuming that jdbc magically detects any jar anywhere on your computer that has a driver in it without being told where to look for that jar.Well, there's that. But, there is also the fact,OP, that the API docs says that the method getDrivers returns all currently loaded Drivers. In other words, OP, even if the jar is on your Classpath, getDrivers won't list it until you've done Class.forName("DriverClass") or DriverManager.registerDriver("DriverClass").
IOW, OP, read the API docs.
Edit: And, no, there is no Class/method (AFAIK) that will search your classpath for any/all possible Driver classes.

Difference between Oracle9i 9.2.0.3 and Oracle9i 9.2.0.4 JDBC Drivers

Hi everybody,
Can you tell me what is Difference between Oracle9i 9.2.0.3 and Oracle9i 9.2.0.4 JDBC Drivers briefly?
In my application I am using Oracle9i 9.2.0.3 JDBC Drivers. But it is not supported when I retrieved Data with junk character from CLOB.because of IO Exception it showing Bigger type length than Maximum
if i used Oracle9i 9.2.0.4 JDBC Drivers it is working properly.
I am using WAS 4.0.3 , JDK1.3 and Oracle 9.0.
Shall I use Oracle9i 9.2.0.4 in my application and I want to know it will create any new problem in my application or not ?

Oracle10g Jdbc Drivers issue with EJB on Weblogic 7

Hi there,
We are facing a critical issue on production environment related to Oracle jdbc drivers.
We have a J2EE application with swing client. We are using MVC framework where client calls go to stateless session bean which redirect it to specific POJO which then uses Entity Beans for persistence.
We have following environment.
JDK1.4.2, Weblogic 7 with SP5, Oracle10g on AIX 5.2
Now the problem is that we were using Oracle 8 jdbc driver classes12.zip for our application. Everything was working smoothly. Recently we moved our weblogic and oracle Servers machines locations, after that movement we started to get an exception when weblogic initializing connection pool that makes connection to a different oracle10g database. Oracle supports ask us to upgrade the jdbc driver. So we moved to 10g driver ojdbc14.jar but during testing one functionality is failing with a exception where rest of application seems to be working fine. The exception occurs when we try to post a record and during the creation of a child entity bean the transactions rollback for some unknown reasons. Using the old oracle8 classes12.zip driver the same code working fine again. We have also tried the classes12.zip driver of Oracle10g but error persist. I have checked the code and deployment descriptors but they seems fine. If i comment the creation of that particular entity bean the parent bean get created successfully and transaction commit successfully. Please also note that we have not created any relation b/w both entity beans not even in the database. They both are sort of independent.
Can any one having any idea why Oracle10g driver not working or what might be the problem with our configuration. Any help will be highly appreciated. Please see the Exception below.
