JDBC Thin Driver 8.17 Release 2

Is the Oracle Direct Driver (JDBC Thin Driver 8.17 Release 2) compatible with other oracle versions like 8.15 and 8.16? Is it backward compatible to older releases. I have tried it and it does work, but I want to make sure there are no known problems going backwards because we have several versions in our shop.
Thanks

Bug in Oracle JDBC thin driver (parameter order)

[ I'd preferably send this to some Oracle support email but I
can't find any on both www.oracle.com and www.technet.com. ]
The following program illustrates bug I found in JDBC Oracle thin
driver.
* Synopsis:
The parameters of prepared statement (I tested SELECT's and
UPDATE's) are bound in the reverse order.
If one do:
PreparedStatement p = connection.prepareStatement(
"SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = ? and second = ?");
and then bind parameter 1 to "a" and parameter to "b":
p.setString(1, "a");
p.setString(2, "b");
then executing p yields the same results as executing
SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "b" and second = "a"
although it should be equivalent to
SELECT field FROM table WHERE first = "a" and second = "b"
The bug is present only in "thin" Oracle JDBC driver. Changing
driver to "oci8" solves the problem.
* Version and platform info:
I detected the bug using Oracle 8.0.5 server for Linux.
According to $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/README.doc that is
Oracle JDBC Drivers release 8.0.5.0.0 (Production Release)
* The program below:
The program below illustrates the bug by creating dummy two
column table, inserting the row into it and then selecting
the contents using prepared statement. Those operations
are performed on both good (oci8) and bad (thin) connections,
the results can be compared.
You may need to change SID, listener port and account data
in getConnecton calls.
Sample program output:
$ javac ShowBug.java; java ShowBug
Output for both connections should be the same
--------------- thin Driver ---------------
[ Non parametrized query: ]
aaa
[ The same - parametrized (should give one row): ]
[ The same - with buggy reversed order (should give no answers):
aaa
--------------- oci8 driver ---------------
[ Non parametrized query: ]
aaa
[ The same - parametrized (should give one row): ]
aaa
[ The same - with buggy reversed order (should give no answers):

JDBC thin driver connection problems using cybersafe authentication

Hi

Oracle jdbc driver information, which i obtained as per Note 94091.1
=============
Database Product Name is Oracle
Database Product Version is Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.1.1 - Production With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.1.1 - Production

1. What JDBC Thin client Driver are you using? (version) If you don't know, open up the Manifest.
2. the JDBC/OCI driver is a thick driver. It uses the oracle client, and therefore should read the tnsnames.ora
3. You have yet to give us any ORA- errors, which would help immensely in troubleshooting.

Problems with jdbc thin driver (Euro Symbol)

Hello,
at the moment it is impossible for me to write or read euro characters to a database using a jdbc thin driver.
I am using
ojdbc14.jar (version 10.2.0.3.0) and orai18n.jar (also) together with JDK 1.4.2.
Charset of the database is WE8MSWIN1252. It does not work on ORACLE 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.6 and 10.2.0.2.0 (others I have not tried). But the problem seams to be in thin client.
Inserting Eurosymbols using a PreparedStatement works quite well. Using a normal Statement does not work.
Also the values getting from a ResultSet are incorrect.
After several test I downloaded a patch 4659157 for ojdbc14.jar and 5470375 for orai18n.jar. After installing the patch the euro characters were returned, but:
In several selects of numeric fields (not all, seams to be random) my resultset returned the Euro character instead of 0 and so on.
Driver for 9.2 works quite well, but does not support 10g Release 2 (and contains also some funny bugs)
Following solutions are not suitable for us:
Changing the character set of the database (come on, this cannot be serious. I cannot change the character set of more than 100 databases)
Using the newest driver (ORACLE 11). We are still using JAVA 1.4.2 and cannot migrate our application at the moment.
Using an oci client. Not possible, no ORACLE client on clients...
Has anyone an idea how to deal with this?
Does anyone know when ORACLE is going to release a new jdbc driver for JAVA 1.4.2 (maybe 10.2.0.4.) ??
Regards,
Christian

Just installed PATCH 4659157 and 5470375 from metalink. The Euro problem seams to be corrected.
BUT:
Another problem occurred. Sometimes numeric values are returned wrong (0 from a numeric field comes as euro, 1 comes as Á (2 and 3 too).
This error seams to be random to me.
Our application is selecting a rowid from a table and after that fills several textfields in a frame by selecting the content in a way like this:
select [column1] from [table] where rowid=[rowid]
select [column2] from [table] where rowid=[rowid]
if I select the numeric column with select nr. 77 I get a wrong value. If I select it at nr. 10 I get the correct value.
The selects are done by a normal Statement object creating a ResultSet. The Value from the ResultSet is fetched by getObject() method.
I also tried to write a test program executing only the selects of the application, but it gives me correct results.
Also when selecting all the fields in one select I get a correct result.
Using a different charset than WE8MSWIN1252 seams to give correct results. Using the OCI driver returns correct results.
Using ojdbc14.jar and orai18n.jar Release 10.2.0.3. unpatched produces the same error (and does not return Euro symbols)
Using ojdbc14.jar and orai18n.jar Release 10.2.0.2. returns correct results (but wrong Euro)
Has anyone had the same problem yet?
Regards,
Christian

SSL connection with JDBC thin driver

I am attempting to connect to an instance of Oracle 10.2 using the JDBC thin driver with SSL. I want to use the encryption feature of SSL only, but I can not perform the getConnection on the DataSource without running into an exception. According the JDBC docs, the SSL encryption feature is new for the 10.2 release of the JDBC thin driver, but I have seen no working examples. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/overvw.htm#CHDIHFBD
I am using ojdbc14.jar on Java 5.0 using a standalone application, and it fails with an IOException (The network adapter could not establish the connection) (Error code 17002). I even enabled tracing using the ojdbc-g.jar to try to figure out what the REAL problem is, but it was not helpful at determining a root cause. I changed the driver type from "thin" to "oci" (and installed Oracle Instant client for my test machine) and the connection works just fine using the same tnsnames file, the same wallet, and the same cipher suite. From the Java perspective the only thing that changed was four characters -> "thin" became "oci". I am still using password based authentication as I understand that the authentication part of SSL is not supported in the thin driver on 10.2
Can anyone verify that the SSL encryption works with JDBC thin as advertised? (not the Oracle Net encryption, but rather the one described in Chapter 11 of the JDBC Developer's Guide. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14355/sslthin.htm#CHDFEICG
I really would prefer to avoid using the OCI driver because of its dependencies on the native platform. Is there something special with how the users are created or how the JDBC API should be used? I am setting what I think to be appropriate parameters (oracle.net.wallet_location, oracle.net.cipher_suites) all to no avail. Does anyone have a working example they can provide?

1) I would suggest posting this question over in the JDBC forum. The folks over there are far more likely to be able to help you.
2) When you do post this question over there, I would strongly suggest posting some sample code/ configuration scripts so that folks can reproduce your problem on their local machines. That tends to make it far easier to debug the problem and/or to notice if you've missed a step.

Error Code Definition for JDBC Thin driver

Would like to know where I can find the definition of error codes
for JDBC thin driver to Oracle 7 database. Right now, when I have
database errors, I get SQL execption with CODE=XXXXXX. Need to
know the definition of the error codes in order to decide whether
the application shall retry or quit or do something else. Thank
you in advance.

Hi,
thin client session Language is controlled by java Locale.
Based on testing code, ORA- messages are localized after the connection is successfully established. ORA- messages returned in the middle of connecting are in instance language.
So, as far as I can say, you need to catch exceptions from DriverManager.getConnection(url, info); and translate them on your own.
Once the connection is successfully returned, ORA- message language is defined by java Locale.
Tests were performed on Oracle 10gR2 (both thin driver and DB).

Jdbc oracle jdbc-thin driver subname

I am working on Windows 2000 environment, using oracle8i 8.1.7 JDBC-Thin driver for use with JDK 1.2.x. The oralce8i 8.1.7 database is on another linux box. I can access the linux box through its ip address, but not by its hostname since it's not accessiable by the dns server. In my code, in the JDBCUrl, I used ip address instead of the hostname, e.g. "jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.113.108:1521:ora1". But I got the error like: "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection". If I add a entry in my working machine's hosts file to map the hostname, I can fix the problem. But I don't know if this is the solution, or there is other better solutions.
Thanks

Using a hosts file entry is a common solution for problem where the dns lookup does not contain an entry for a RDBMS server platform.
The real solution is to resolve this issue :
"where the dns lookup does not contain an entry for a RDBMS server platform."

Oracle JDBC thin driver question

Does anyone know if there is a JDBC thin driver available for Oracle that supports "HTTP tunneling" of the SQLNET wire protocol?
Such a driver would package the SQL*NET data stream into HTTP or HTTPS packets and connects to a Servlet proxy on the Web host that unpacks the data and forwards the SQL*NET stream to the Oracle RDBMS and returns the response the same way.
This would help me overcome some firewall issues I'm seeing since HTTP/HTTPS ports are usually opened through a firewall. I know Sybase has a JDBC dirver that does this for their TNS protocol and was hoping some company has developed this for Oracle.
Thanks in advance...

The easiest thing to do is download it as an archive with your applet.
Otherwise, you have to have the files on every client machine.
For netscape, put the classes111.jar in the java classes folder typically:
c:\ProgramFiles\Netscape\Communicator\Program\java\classes.
I'd expect that IE would be setup in a similar way.

Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4

Hi,
It would be nice if someone please guide me to the download of Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for oracle 9.2.0.4.
Thanks in anticipation

user566773,
As far as I know, all Oracle JDBC drivers are meant to be backward compatible.
According to the table on the following Web page, the latest Oracle JDBC driver can be used with Oracle 9.2.0.x DBMS.

Oracle JDBC Thin Driver and Firewall Problem

Hi!
We have Oracle 8.1.5 and Websphere App Server. There is a
firewall between the two. A servlet creates a connection pool
(not that of Wesphere's). The frontend is JSP/HTML (no applets).
The servlet uses the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver for DB Connections.
The problem is - Once the connection is freed, the connection
pool is not being able to retrieve it and hence it created
another one, thus reaching the max. # of connections and the
system hangs. Restarting the DB service flushes the connection
and the application starts running again...
There was a similar problem discussed in this forums long ago. I
have not yet tried mentioning the firwall port and IP in the
connection string. But apart from that, is there any other
setting I need to do (on firewall or for the connectionstring)
to deal with this problem?
Someone had suggested to punch a hole in the firewall for the DB
port - but we can not really do that in the current scenario...
I would appreciate if anyone could share their experience
regarding how they resolved this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vijaya.

One more question -
Can we use Oracle JDBC OCI driver? We do not have any appletes...
Does it have firewall issues too? Is there any other driver that
we can use?
Thanks,
Vijaya.

JDBC thin Driver 8.0.X Limit 2k for varchar2?

I am using Oracle JDBC thin driver 8.0.5.0.0 to query Oracle
8.0.5 via SQL net. The problem I met is every time I try to
retrieve data for varchar2 (over 2k), it get truncated and only
return the first 2k without throwing any warning or exception.
I tried getString(), getAsciiStream() and getBinaryStream(), and
the results are still the same. The SQL Net works fine, since it
successfully returns over 2k varchar2 type data when programing
with PERL.
