Fees related to Thin JDBC drivers

We have Oracle8. Are the JDBC drivers included. If not, how much will we have to pay to get these drivers.
If they are freely available for download, I would like to have the URL.
Thanks

JDBC Drivers should come with the Oracle database (all versions - from Personal Oracle to the Enterprise Edition).
From the OTN Downloads area (Select a Utility or Driver => Oracle JDBC Driver) several different versions of the JDBC driver (and of the SQLJ translator) are freely downloadable.
You will get the JDBC thin drivers (all Java platforms) and the OCI drivers for Solaris and NT. Other platform-specific OCI drivers (if any) should come as part of the Oracle database distribution.

  • Upgrade 10G to use 10G thin jdbc drivers- OCI

    This is wierd...
    If I upgrade 10G app server to use the 10G thin JDBC drivers, and set up a data source to use the thin drivers, is there any way that I could score a[b] ORA-01010 invalid OCI operation error when I'm not using an OCI driver?
    Anyone else seen this...again, it makes no sense...

    You can not and should not use JDK 1.2 with 8i drivers.
    If you want to use JDK 1.2 drivers, download the 8.1.6 SDK
    from external site.

  • IRIX and Oracle 7 Thin JDBC drivers

    I have a question I think I have the answer for, but I am just
    verifying it. The Oracel 7 Thin JBDC drivers will work on any
    platfrom including IRIx right? The reason I ask is the site has
    a download for Solaris and NT and I am not sure what the
    difference is. Anyway, if someone knows for sure it would be a
    great help to know.
    Thanks,

    Which version of Oracle's JDBC driver are you using? Have you tried using the 8.1.6 version of our JDBC driver?
    Please also take a look at the FAQ:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't download JDBC Drivers

    I've been unable to download Oracle's latest thin jdbc drivers for the past several days. Is anyone else having this problem???

    I've been trying for a couple of days now -- ftp connections to ftp.oracle.com technet.oracle.com and download.oracle.com reveal the same FTP server, and it's completely empty.
    This is going on 4 days now, and I have to wonder why I'm spending this ludicrous amount of money on software from a company that can't get its FTP server up within 4 days that I know of, who knows how long it's been in this state.
    To charge the amount of money Oracle is for its software, you'd think there'd be at least a remotely helpful level of support -- at least available downloads.

  • Support for Generated Keys in oracke jdbc drivers?

    Hi All,
    Anyone know when the Oracle Thin JDBC drivers are going to support generated keys?
    Regards,
    Lee

    Sure Justin,
    I should have made myself more clear. Sorry about that.
    I have a sequence for generating primary keys in a particular table, and a trigger to replace a null in my insert query with the nextval. That all works fine. I would like to use the DB-neutral means of getting a generated primary key...
    prepStmt = connection.prepareStatement(insertSQL, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
    prepStmt.executeUpdate();
    ... and later ...
    ResultSet generatedKeyRS = prepStmt.getGeneratedKeys();
    ... etc.
    I am aware that I can get this information several other Oracle9i-specific ways, including using the sequence's .currval and creating a callable statement that returns the primary key column. However I would still like to use the nice, neat, vendor-neutral JDBCv3 way. Call me pedantic.
    Regards,
    Lee

  • JDBC DRIVERS FOR LINUX (8.1.6)

    So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
    Where can a person download the JDBC Drivers (CLASSES12.ZIP ORA)
    for Linux? I see information on Solaris and NT but not Linux.
    - Server name
    - Filename
    - Date/Time
    - Browser + Version
    - O/S + Version
    - Error Msg
    Connie

    if you have oracle 8i server you will find the classes12.zip(thin jdbc drivers )in the [ORAHOME]/jdbc/lib directory. You have to added the zip to the classpath in the jserv.properties file eg. wrapper.classpath=D:\oracle\ora81\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip(if you orahome is D:\oracle\ora81.)
    otherwise for just using the java classes for compiling and running in the consile you have to set the classpath of classes12.zip in your system environment.
    Thanks.

  • Thick vs. Thin JDBC Driver

    Hi!
    I was just wondering where to find some info about

    In particular I would like to know whether Thick drivers are errorprone and mix up the contents of threads. Is this so according to your experience?
    I would also like to know which one is the recommended driver to use if speed is an issue...
    We use Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 and Websphere Application Server 4.04

  • JDBC DRIVERS 와 NLS 의 관계

    제품 : JDBC
    작성날짜 : 2003-08-06
    JDBC DRIVERS 와 NLS 의 관계
    ==========================
    PURPOSE
    JDBC drivers 가 지원하는 National Language Support (NLS) 에 대해서
    알아봅니다.
    JDBC Drivers 는 NLS 와 conversion 을 지원합니다.
    JDBC Drivers 는 NLS 를 지원합니다. 오라클이 지원하는 character set
    을 가진 database 라면 어떤 character set 에서라도 data 를 입력, 출력
    할 수 있습니다.
    ASCII 나 ISO-Latin-1 databases 의 경우에는 conversion 이 일어나지
    않아 간단합니다.
    NLS database 라고 하면 일반적으로 non-ASCII database 나
    non-ISO-Latin-1 databases 를 의미 합니다.
    ( 예를 들어 Japanese, Korean 같은 ..)
    JDBC program 에서는 database 가 어떤 character set 을 사용하던지
    간에 target character set 은 항상 Java unicode (UCS-2) 입니다.
    이것은 CHAR 과 VARCHAR2 data 에 한합니다.
    RAW data 의 경우에는 conversion 이 일어나지 않습니다.
    JDBC OCI Driver 와 NLS
    JDBC OCI 의 경우 database 가 특정 character set 을 가지고
    client 또한 고유의 character set 을 가집니다.
    client 의 character set 은 database 와 다를 수 있습니다.
    client 의 character set 은 install 시에 결정되며,
    database 의 character set 은 database 생성시에 결정됩니다.
    따라서 JDBC driver 는 적절한 conversion 을 해주어야 합니다.
    JDBC OCI driver 가 character set conversion 할때 다음 3가지
    사항들을 고려 합니다.
    - database character set 과 language
    - client side character set 과 language
    - JAVA unicode (UCS-2)
    JDBC OCI 를 사용할 경우 data 가 server 에서 client 로 전달될때
    database 의 character set 으로 전달되게 됩니다.
    data 는 client 에 도착할때 까지는 conversion 이 일어나지 않습니다.
    client side 에 도달하면 표준 Oracle conversion routines 을 사용하는
    OCI routines 에 의해 database character set 에서 client character set
    으로 변환되게 됩니다.
    JDBC 개발자들은 각각의 database character set 에 따라 각각 다른
    conversion programs 을 사용하는 것이 아니라 한가지 character set 에서
    Java unicode (UCS-2) 로 변환하는 한가지의 conversion routine
    사용하도록 했습니다.
    오라클이 지원하는 많은 수의 언어들을 encoding 하게 해주는 이 character set
    는 UTF8 (Oracle 7 에서는 AL24) 입니다.
    NLS_LANG 에 따라 data 변환은 다릅니다.
    NLS_LANG 이 설정이 안되어 있거나 ASCII 나 ISO-Latin-1 character set 로
    설정되어 있는 경우에는 JDBC OCI driver 는 ISO-Latin-1 나 ASCII 로 부터
    Java 내에서 UCS-2 로 직접 변환합니다.
    ISO-Latin-1 나 ASCII 로 부터의 변환은 최적화되어 있습니다.
    NLS_LANG 이 ASCII 나 ISO-Latin-1 character set 이외의 character set
    으로 설정되어 있을 경우에는 driver 가 client 에서 NLS_LANG parameter
    를 UTF-8 로 변경합니다. 이것은 JDBC program 에 한하며, system 의
    NLS_LANG 환경에는 영향을 주지 않습니다.
    이것은 자동으로 일어나므로 user 는 해줄일이 없습니다.
    OCI 는 NLS_LANG parameter 값을 읽어와 data 를 database character set
    에서 UTF-8 로 변환해 줍니다. 이 변환은 C 에서 이루어지며 Java 에서
    이루어지는것이 아닙니다. 그 이유는 Java 내에서 이루어지는 변환의
    회수를 줄이기 위해서 입니다.
    그리고 난 후에 JDBC OCI driver 는 UTF-8 data 를 UCS-2 로 변환합니다.
    JDBC Thin Driver 와 NLS
    JDBC thin 에서는 UTF8 로의 변환이 server side 에서 일어나게 됩니다.
    그러나 만일 database 가 ASCII 나 ISO-Latin-1 character set 를 사용하고
    있다면 server side 에서의 변환은 일어나지 않습니다.
    client 에서 JDBC driver 는 UTF8 을 UCS-2 로 바꾸게 됩니다.
    ==================================================================
    주의: OCI 와 Thin drivers 는 모두 동일하게 NLS 를 지원합니다.
    ==================================================================
    Server Driver 와 NLS
    server 에서 실행되는 JDBC code 가 database 에 접속할때
    JDBC Server dirver 는 database character set 를 기반으로
    character set 변환을 수행합니다.
    모든 Java programs 의 target character set 은 UCS-2 입니다.
    JDBC Server driver 는 ASCII 와 ISO-Latin-1 character sets 만을
    지원합니다.
    database server 에 있는 Java VM 이 ASCII 와 ISO-Latin-1 character set
    만을 지원하기 때문입니다.

  • How can I install JDBC drivers for Oracle?!?....

    i have a program that has this line:
    import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
    that gives this error when I compile it:
    package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
    So I think I need to install JDBC drivers for Oracle. (?)
    I went here: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_111060.html]
    and downloaded the files for JDBC Thin.
    Then I followed this: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html]
    by entering these commands (I'm using Ubuntu):
    export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/ojdbc6.jar
    export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/orai18n.jar
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/files
    When I type echo $CLASSPATH I can see that those commands worked, but it hasn't made any difference when I try to compile.
    I still get the same error. Is it because I didn't do anything about the .so files? The readme page didn't mention them in the installation section.
    Please help! I am so stuck...

    I don't think you need the shared libraries (.so files) and given what I saw when I glanced at those pages, I don't think they'd even work for you, although maybe I just didn't read enough of it.
    What happens when you type
    javap oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceon the command line?
    How are you invoking javac? Are you perhaps passing a classpath argument?
    Are you sure that the path to the jar files is correct? Are the paths relative?

  • Need information on Weblogic JDBC drivers

    Hi,
    I have been using Weblogic 8.1 sp5 with oracle version -Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production.
    Lately i have observed the below error:-
    <Jun 2, 2009 9:56:58 PM MEST> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001112> <Test "SELECT 1 FROM DUAL" set up for pool "WIS03 JDBC Connection Pool" failed with exception: "java.sql.SQLException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state.".>
    This may be linked to the JDBC drivers used with weblogic.
    At weblogic console i can see the list of drivers as - Oracle Driver (Thin) Versions.9.0.1,9.2.0,10
    Is this driver good for the Oracle version 10 g?
    I am clueless for the above exception. Please suggest.
    Thanks & Regards
    Himanshu Tageja

    Thanks Joe.
    I have found the latest ojdbc.jar, below are the detials mentioned about this jar in the manifest.mf:-
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) JDBC Drivers
    Specification-Title: Oracle JDBC driver classes for use with JDK14

    Implementation-Vendor: Oracle Corporation
    Implementation-Time: Sat Feb 2 11:40:29 2008
    Now the issue is with respect to the Java_version used for this jar which is 1.4.2_14 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    but my weblogic server uses jdk142_08.
    I have done quick tests after replacing the jar from the server/lib directory and seems no issue but can the differences in Java version lead to potential issues in future?
    Awaiting your valuable response.

  • Installing the jdbc drivers

    Hello Guys:
    I am new to Oracle Application DBA stuff and here is what I have to do now.
    I need to install the jdbc drivers in our oracle financials UAT.
    Here is what I heard from our Oracle support:
    ANSWER
    ======
    The Patch #4159795 status is Deleted, indicates that the patch has been deleted from the patch repository. This usually occurs when the patch has been obsoleted.
    However, this bug (BUG:4159795) has been fixed in version 10.2 which means it's solved in the latest releases.
    The JDBC drivers are certified to work with the currently supported versions of the Oracle Database. For example, the JDBC Thin drivers in Oracle Database 10g a re certified to work with the 9.2.x, 9.0.1.x, and 8.1.7 Oracle Database releases.
    However, they are not certified to work with older, unsupported database releases, such as 8.0.x and 7.x.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/getsta.htm#i1008205
    Now please tell me what needs to be done. Should i install this on the application server or on the database server. If any one could give me a heads or give me pointers to documents it will be great.
    Regards,
    Bala

    If you are using Oracle 11i, the JDBC drivers are normally upgraded via a patch during a JDK upgrade (1.3.1, or 1.4.2, or 1.5.0). I am pretty sure the note referenced by the analyst has no relevance to Oracle EBS.

  • Configuration of JDBC drivers for ocnnecting from BOE to Oracle

    HI all,
    I am trying to configure jbdc drivers in solaris for connecting BOE 3.1 sP2 to oracle 10g database.
    issue is not able to create connection in universe designer using jdbc drivers
    i couldnt get the exact info on this, please provide me the steps for connecting to oracle through jbdc drivers, Thanks,
    Thanks
    Ram

    I am now up and running.  Several tips were found on both Adobe and Oracle sites that were helpful. Here is a brief summary of the steps:
    Step 1, download* the Oracle Database11G release 2 Client for Microsoft Windows x64. (not the Instant Client). Follow the instructions provided on the download site. Select just the items you need from the custom install form.
    Step 2, add your datasources using the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant**.  Select Local Net Service Name Config. Follow the prompts, answer the questions.
    Step 3, add your datasources on Windows 2008 Server with Administrative Tools Datasources. Similar to step 2.
    Step 4, in CF10 Administrator set up your datasources. The first thing to do is set your Class Path to the location of the jdbc .jar files.  When you configured the Oracle installation you specified the location of the files. Go there and look for the\jdbc\lib folder. It contains the jar files for your drivers. Example:  C:\\Oracle\home\jdbc\lib\.  Now add your datasources. Select Other from the drivers drop-down list. This may be the tricky part. You will need the database information for connecting, such as host name, port, user, password, etc.  The connect url will look like: jdbc:oracle:thin@hostname:portnumber:servicename. Class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver  Name: whatever
    * download from:  oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
    ** This utility should be selected as an item to install from step 1.

  • Oracle JDBC Drivers

    We are extracting blobs from an 8.05 database. The following statement works only with an older driver for a version I'm not sure whar it is(size is 1419KB, date is 11/3/00 at 9:25AM).
    Nothing special in the sql just extracting the column.
    pBlob = (oracle.sql.BLOB)rset.getObject(1);
    This works fine with the above mentioned driver. All other drivers I have tested 8.15 for 8i, 8.05, 7.34, 8.04, etc. all give the network datatype unsupported error at this statement. I tried the various examples but they were for the oci8 drivers and did not work with thin.
    We use the thin(type 4) driver.
    Do the new drivers not support the BLOB type for thin?
    Does anyone know which driver version and database that the one I described is from?
    Thanks.

    user452131,
    Yes, there are differences between the Oracle 8i JDBC drivers and the Oracle 9i JDBC drivers.
