Need Help On How to Install JDBC Driver

I've downloaded the JDBC driver and set the CLASSPATH environmental variable to the .jar file that is the same one I downloaded that is in the oracle folder. (not sure why I have to download it again) But, there are no other instructions on installation. I also tried copying the jdbc folder I downloaded to replace the one within the oracle folder and that didn't work either. If I type "import oracle." etc in netbeans it does not recognize the class / package. I can't be sure what the installation process is.
I can't find clear instructions on installing JDBC other than the readme which says all you have to do is set the CLASSPATH, but it doesn't even mention what to do with the files you download. I found a developers reference that says all the things to check to make sure it installed correctly, but that is after the fact and I don't know how to get there.
Thank you

I already have the CLASSPATH set in the system environmental variables for ojdbc6.jar and orai18n.jar and it does not work.
'.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\app\0\product\11.1.0\db_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar;C:\app\0\product\11.1.0\db_1\jlib\orai18n.jar"
Also, I'd rather not have to run a TCP/IP listener so the OCI based JDBC driver would be preferred. Do I need to the OCI and the OCI based JDBC? (I read there is a difference) If so, could somebody give me the URL's because I can't find them.
I find this very confusing. I found the page for JDBC, but that takes me to the JDBC page with many downloads and then they are all thin versions. So at the bottom it has a small link for "platform specific JDBC-OCI libraries See the instant client" so I click on the "instant client" (whatever that is) but that just has a download link for a zip file that has a readme with nothing other than a timestamp and a useless header with no information. This is just taking me in circles.
What I want to do is start programming java in netbeans using JDBC. Thanks.

  • Need help figuring how to track DVD drive usage

    I work at a public library and need to track how often the DVD drives are used by our patrons.  Is there some count somewhere of how many times the drive is accessed?  The only other way I can think of to do this is to run a script that will check
    if any files exist at E:\ and then sleep for 1 minute and check again. Then, create a log in a central location that the script can update if the file exists. 
    Anyone able to come up with a better idea?  I would really appreciate any input.
    Thanks
    Tamara

    Yes, I am a technician.  I work at the library that I am attempting to collect this usage info from.  I just need to know how often our patrons use the drives because we may not offer the drives in the future and I would like to track a couple
    months of usage to determine how this will affect the patrons. 
    Yes, the PCs are very locked down, but since I am the one that locked them down, I can get the script to run.
    Thanks for the info about the event log.  I will work on a script to filter those events.  Seems like that would give me my answer!
    Thanks again for the help!

  • Need help on how to install external web cam on a macbook?????

    Hi , does anyone have any idea if you can install and use an external webcam and how to install it on a macbook 13.3 in, black, 10.4.11 with intel processor. I have tried like months and months to connect my logitech web cam with no success what so ever. I been racking my brains trying to figure it out. I even called tech support by phone and they weren't really any help. They just said it can be done. I tried downloading the drivers that came in a cd with the logitech and nothing. Every time I try and use my external logitech on a site the built in one on the macbook comes on instead. There has to be a way to bypass the built on one. I know there has to be people out there using external webcams on macbooks. Any help would be appreciated.

    I can't advise on your Logitech webcam, but I am using [this webcam|http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23174%3B-+1.3MPWebcam/8703094.p?id=1199495403693&skuId=8703094]. First used on a iMac G5, OSX 10.4, then later moved to a Mac Mini OSX 10.5 (and now OSX 10.6.2 on the Mini.) I got it not because it's the best webcam, but because it was one of the few that said it worked with OSX 10.4. (Other webcams I had needed 10.5.) I have tested it on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5 and upgraded to 10.6) and it works, but I don't normally use it there.

  • Need help using Windows Server 2000 JDBC Driver on Red Hat 9

    I successfully have a .jsp app running on windows server 2000 using JDBC
    driver for SQL Server 2000. Which I installed in order to the following
    Red Hat:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN-FILES/027/001/779/install.htm
    I moved the .jsp app over to the Red Hat 9 server running Tomcat, while
    keeping the MS SQL 2000 on windows. The issue I have is setting up the
    JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server.
    I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver and unzipped the tar file with
    the driver for SQL Server 2000. And ran the install.ksh script.
    The /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/lib has the following files within it:
    msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar
    I chmod 0777 each of the *.jar files.
    I then went into /etc/profile.d/tomcat.sh and adding the following:
    CLASSPATH=.;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar
    Each time I login and pull up the termial I get the following error:
    bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar: cannot execute binary file
    bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar: cannot execute binary file
    bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar: cannot execute binary file
    And can't connnect to the database within the .jsp app.
    Is there anyone out there using DBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server?
    Michael

    Sorry, I needed to correct some information of where the drivers were installed.
    I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/new and untar the Microsoft file with the driver for SQL Server 2000. I ran the install.ksh script "sh install.ksh"
    installed the driver into the default directory "/opt/msSQLjdbc".
    The /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib has the following files within it:
    msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar

  • OK HERE IS WHERE I AM AT HARD DRIVE WENT DOWN UPGRADED TO A 250 GIG AND NOW NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL OSX ON THE POWERBOOK G4 17

    I have a powerbook g4 17 and it recently went down the hard drive sounded like it was eating itself so i replaced the hard drive with a 250 gig and now i need help on how to get osx onto the powerbook it will not boot from disk i will start all the back at 0s9 if need be can anyone please help me i miss my g4

    Do you have any OSX disks?
    It won't boot from the new hard drive yet because there is no OS installed.
    You need to use an OSX disk, put in your mac, then when turn on, hold down the C key (to boot from the CD).
    Hold it down for a long time until you hear it noisily reading from the CD drive.  Once OSX starts up (from CD) you should go to Disk utility and you will need to format your new hard drive.
    Once formatted, you can then install OSX. 
    Everything is done from the OSX install disk.
    If you don't have one, you can buy a retail copy from Apple (not Snow Leopard), or from Ebay.  Make sure it is a retail copy, not disks that came with a Mac as they only work with the exact model of Mac it came with.

  • How to Install JDBC Thin Driver

    Hi all,
    I will connect to a RDBMS the first time and do not know how to do that.
    I need to install JDBC Driver and use but how would i install it? There is a ojdbc14_g.jar file when i search on google i downloaded it but where should i locate it to
    see it from Eclipse(Spring Source Tool indeed).
    I went to preferences -> data management -> driver definitions in Eclipse when i select ORACLE Thin Driver it says the jar file above is not found in the file system.
    Thanks all...

    Installing a jdbc driver is as easy as downloading it and putting it in your classpath. The prereqs are getting the correct jar for your version of Oracle and having a database to connect to. This is a good place to start for JDBC related questions:

    And here is a little demo to load and run a Java class in eclipse:

    Hi,
    As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords.  Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • I am using Mandriva Linux now and I have installed Firefox 6 but I could not install Java plugin with it. Can anyone please help me how to install it?

    I am using Mandriva Linux now.
    But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
    Can anyone please help me how to install it?

    The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
    Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?
