Ojdbc14.jar driver

Can i use ojdbc14.jar 9.2 on a oracle 8 database? i mean, if i use the newest driver un a 8 database it works well? otherwise, how can i use oracle.sql.Blob.getBinaryOutputStream() which is deprecated on 8 db driver

Stephen,
I don't think you'll be able to get more information than you have already -- from the same question that you posted at the JavaRanch JDBC Forum.
Good Luck,
Avi.

How do I install the "ojdbc14.jar" driver?

Hi...
I want to start with JDBC APIs. I have downloaded the Oracle driver "ojdbc14.jar". I don't know where to keep this driver and what all settings need to be done.
Can any one help?
Thanks...

Are you by any chance new to Java?
If not, then where you put the jar depends on the type of application you are building.
For example, I build a lot of web applications which are deployed as WAR files to an app server. In this case, I usually put the ojdbc.jar in the WEB-INF/lib. You can also put the jar in common/lib of the app server so that all apps have access to it.
Use of the system environment variable CLASSPATH is not used so much anymore with recent JDKs.
If you are new to Java then I recommend choosing a decent IDE (Eclipse/NetBeans/JDeveloper are the main free ones) and going through the Java tutorial. It has a section on using JDBC.
Hope that helps,

Using ojdbc14.jar driver on UNIX

Let me apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
I�m trying to connect to an oracle database using java, I have downloaded the �ojdbc14.jar� how do I load the jar file? When I use the following code I get a �class not found exception�, how do I point to inside a jar file???? I can extract the oracle/* folder and it will connect, but I would like to load it properly.
try
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
ClassNotFoundException

i think the syntax is
try {
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
error("Driver not found." + e);
don't think you need the "driver" bit, this works fine for me.

Pointing portal server from classes12.jar to ojdbc14.jar JDBC driver

Hi,
     Some time ago we upgraded our portal landscape from Oracle 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.2. Using OSS Notes 867176 and 915079, we pointed our portal servers to use the newer and recommended ojdbc14.jar driver. This included using Config manager to change the rdbms.driverLocation parameter to point to the new driver.
     A few months later (last week), thinking that we had our bases covered, we removed the old ORACLE_HOME, /oracle/<SID>/920_32. Upon restarting the portal we got quite a shock- it would NOT come up! The first problem was the bootstrap.properties in the /usr/sap/<SID>/JC00/j2ee/cluster/bootstrap directory which had the same dbms.driverLocation parameter pointed to the old driver in the old ORACLE_HOME. After correcting this, we ran into further problems with neither the dispatcher or the servers (2 per system) coming up. Find this curious, we ran the following unix commands and identified more *.properties files with the same rdbms.driverLocation parameter-
cd /usr/sap/<SID>/JC00/j2ee
find . -name '*.properties' -exec grep -H 920_32 {} \;
./deploying/rdb.properties -
            rdbms.driverLocation=/usr/sap/EPP/JC00/j2ee/classes12.jar
./cluster/server0/cfg/kernel/ConfigurationManager.properties -
            rdbms.driverLocation=/usr/sap/EPP/JC00/j2ee/classes12.jar
./cluster/server0/cfg/kernel/ConfigurationManager.properties -
            rdbms.driverLocation=/usr/sap/EPP/JC00/j2ee/classes12.jar
./cluster/dispatcher/cfg/kernel/ConfigurationManager.properties -
            rdbms.driverLocation=/usr/sap/EPP/JC00/j2ee/classes12.jar
./templateconfigurator.properties -
           $=/usr/sap/EPP/JC00/j2ee/classes12.jar
We then proceeded to manually edit each of the files to use the newer ojdbc14.jar driver. Surprisingly, it turns out that editing the ConfigurationManager properties files for the 2 servers and the dispatcher had no effect- upon recycling the portal the entire cfg/kernel directory gets wiped out and replaced.
So what's the problem here? I don't have an issue with directories being recreated- but why is the ojdbc14.jar driver setting not being picked up from the change made for each server and dispatcher in the Configuration Manager?   I have examined all the services listed in the Configuration Manager and the Visual Administrator and can find no more references to the old ORACLE_HOME.
Oh, incidently, curiously enough, for single portal systems, the JDBC driver is obtained from the /oracle/<SID>/102_64/jdbc/lib directory and not from the /usr/sap/<SID>/JC00/j2ee directory which is the case for portal servers involving more than 1 server.
Hoping for help here ...
Sincerely,
Steven McElwee, Duke University

Usage of java.sql.Timestamp with classes12.zip and ojdbc14.jar ?

Hi all,
If i'm using java.sql.Timestamp with classes12 it is functioning perfectly,
if i'm using ojdbc14 and java.sql.Timestamp it is functioning in different way and failing to do the action..
Example : update set xxx=yy where time = my Timestamp object set in Prepared statement
Hope to see the answer

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=460615&messageID=2116517
Timestamp insert problem
Using the "classes12.zip" file that comes with the distribution for Oracle versions 8.1.6.x and 8.1.7.x, Oracle's DATE datatype is mapped to the "java.sql.Timestamp" class. However, the "ojdbc14.jar" driver maps DATE to "java.sql.Date", and "java.sql.Date" only holds a date (without a time), whereas "java.sql.Timestamp" holds both a date and a time.

Problem with ojdbc14.jar (oracle10g Rel. 2 driver) in updating a BLOB field

Hello All,
Our web application uses oracle10g Release 2 jdbc driver with websphere 5.1.1.4 and oracle 9i. When it tries to update a BLOB field in the database updation is successful but it is updating that field with a null value. So rest of our application fails as this value is becoming null. We use an entity bean to update this table and websphere uses a prepared statement to update this table. Just before setting this BLOB field using setBinaryStream() on prepared statement I am printing to see whether it is null or not as shown in the code snippet below. And it is printing it correctly as non null. But after execution of the prepared statement some how the value stored in database is null.
Is this a known issue with this driver? Does any one know work around or a solution to this? We have 3 BLOB fields in that table. Is that a problem? If we separate these BLOB fields into separate tables will the problem be solved? Any input on this is very much appreciated.
// For column ORIGINAL_CONTENT
byte[] tempbyteArray;
tempbyteArray=(byte[])inputRecord.get(25);
if (tempbyteArray == null) {
System.out.println("DqPageBeanFunctionSet_f9c724af: tempbyteArray NULLLLLLL");
} else {
System.out.println("DqPageBeanFunctionSet_f9c724af: orig tempbyteArray length: " + tempbyteArray.length);
if(tempbyteArray != null) {
pstmt.setBinaryStream(25,new java.io.ByteArrayInputStream(tempbyteArray),tempbyteArray.length);
else pstmt.setNull(25,java.sql.Types.BLOB);
Thanks & Regards,
-Sunitha

Oracle Type4 driver (ojdbc14.jar) connection proble

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to my oracle 8i installed in my local machine through type4 driver.
I've downloaded ojdbc14.jar and included its path to classpath
The following lines are included in my code
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@localhost:1521:dbmsConnect ")
I've created the DSN as follows (in Windows XP)
Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Sources - Add - Took Oracle ODBC Driver - entered DSN name as dbmsConnect -added user id as scott
When I ran the code, Igot following exception
Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135286784)(ERR=12505)
(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
Could anyone help me please

You may need a later version of the driver:

Which ojdbc14.jar JDBC driver to use for Oracle 10g database

When ODI is installed there seems to be an Oralce JDBC driver in place in the drivers folder (ojdbc14.jar).
When we connect to an Oracle datastore and point to a table and use the 'reverse' function to populate the columns - it sort of works OK but does not bring back the datatypes properly. This is found to be when the Oracle table has UNICODE character datatypes NCHAR and NVARCHAR. If a table has CHAR and VARCHAR it is all OK but any table that has UNICODE datatyoe has a problem.
Is this likely to be the JDBC driver ?
We have tried replacing this ojdbc14.jar with the older classes12 and this, as expected, did not resolve the issue.
We then tried replacing it with the latest 10.2.0.4 ojdbc14.jar but again no difference.
Does anyone have any experience with Oracle JDBC drivers and what release level to use - and using against UNICODE datatypes in tables ?
Regards

Our problem is that when we use 'reverse' to populate the columns from a physicla table in an Oracle database - ODI is obviously 'seeing' the ORacle table and is correctly understanding the columns in the table and defining them in it's model - but wherever there is a column with a datatype in the ORacle database of NCHAR or NVARCHAR it fails to populate the datatype or the 'length' of these columns. If I manually try to specify the datatype these 2 unicode data types do NOT exist in the pull down list of datatypes.
I see what you are asking - if these datatypes are actually defined as datatypes within the actual technology - I cant access my lab right now but will check as soon as I can. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is ojdbc14.jar the correct driver to use with Java 1.6.0 and Oracle 10?

I have a customer using Oracle 10.2.0.3 and a JVM of 1.6.0. They are using ojdbc14.jar as their JDBC driver. I am confused because while ojdbc14.jar is listed as the driver for Oracle 10.2.0.3, it is not listed as compatible with JDK1.6.

the 14 part means it is for Java 1.4. You should use a driver from either the ODJBC5 (Java 5) or OJDBC6 range (Java 6). All drivers are backwards compatible, so you can use the latest drivers to connect with older Oracle releases. Just don't assume that the latest one is the best one, check Google for specific problems before using a specific driver release.

Bug in TNS Parser of ojdbc14.jar

Hi,
we recently had problems with two customers using ojdbc14.jar in association with tnsnames.ora. The following exception was thrown:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException : Array index out of range: 148
oracle.net.nl.NVTokens.parseTokens(Unknown Source)
oracle.net.nl.NVFactory.createNVPair(Unknown Source)

oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CDriverExtension.getConnection(T4CDriverExtension.java:35)
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:801)
I checked with JAD what's wrong in that NVTokens class and found the following code fragment:
public boolean parseTokens(String s)
_numTokens = 0;
_tkPos = 0;
_tkType = new Vector(25, 25);
_tkValue = new Vector(25, 25);
int i = s.length();
char ac[] = s.toCharArray();
int j = 0;
do
if(j >= i)
break;
for(; j < i && _isWhiteSpace(ac[j]); j++);
switch(ac[j])
case 40: // '('
as you can see, the whitespace-eating for loop could loop until j == i, and then the switch(ac[j]) would cause a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
The tnsnames.ora which led to the exception all had an entry of the form:
ORCL.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.30.40)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = ORCL)
It was sufficient to insert a blank before the "(DESCRIPTION =" token to prevent the parser from running into the bug. However, if we have to instruct all our customers how and where to insert blanks in their tnsnames.ora, it will get a bit annoying.
I downloaded the latest 1.4 driver version (the used driver was about 3 years old, so I was hoping the bug was corrected in the meantime), but the bug was present there, too.
So please, if any Oracle personnel read this thread, report this to your jdbc driver developers, and hopefully there will be a bug fix in the future.
Best regards,
Hans Vetter

Hi,
To supplement my last post, I only get the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 machine. When I run 32-bint Windows Server 2008, the exception does not occur and the database connection works fine. Has this problem been fixed for 64 bit machines ? Or is there something additional that needs to be configured for 64 bit machines ?
Thanks,

Classes12.jar or ojdbc14.jar?

Which oracle driver do I need? I am trying to connect to DB from my java program and I get "ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver". I am able to ping/connect/execute sql from eclipse but when I run my java program, I get this exception.

Ojdbc14.jar not integrated in JDev 9.0.5.x?

Hi,
the documentation of Oracle 9i DB says, there is a new archiv for the jdbc driver: ojdbc14.jar. Until now we used classes12.zip (or classes12.jar).
But why is the new driver lib missing in JDev 9.0.5.x?
Best regards,
Torsten.

Can you please recommend some way to use ojdbc14.jar with JDeveloper 9.0.5.2? Ommitting Oracle JDBC from the project libraries and including a new library for ojdbc14.jar does not work for all classpath issues, such as for data source definitions in the data-sources.xml file. What does seem to work is replacing jdbc/lib/classes12dms.jar with ojdbc14.jar but I'm not sure if this will cause strange side effects. Is there any cleaner way of using ojdbc14.jar?
Thanks,
Jeff

JDBC 4.0 and ojdbc14.jar

Hello everyone
i need to know abt jdbc-4.0 api tutorial and abt ojdbc14.jar tutorial which one is better ojdbc or classes12
Thanks

ojdbc14.jar is for JDK 1.4 or higher. classes12.zip
is for JDK 1.2 and 1.3.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sq
lj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc9201.htmlYes, although only the latest version of ojdbc14.jar (10gR2, or 10.2.0.1.0) is Oracle-approved-and-supported for Java 1.5. That doesn't mean older versions don't work with newer Java, they do, at least mostly, but Oracle does not certify-and-support them. In fact, I know that the last 8.1.7 version of classes12 works very well with Java 1.4 and an 8.1.7 DB (at lease for the driver functions my company happens to use, we're pretty "plain vanilla" on that project).
For new code, you should probably be using the latest ojdbc14.jar, unless you're using an antique version of Java.

Ojdbc14.jar connect to 10g so slow with JRE1.5.0_05

Our guests complained the speed is so slow that they can not stand up with this...
So I run the tests base on JRE1.5.0_05 and ojdbc14.jar and Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
try {
                    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

                              "password");
                    System.out.println(System.currentTimeMillis() - now.getTime());
                    conn.setAutoCommit(false);
                    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
                    ResultSet rset = stmt
                              .executeQuery("select BANNER from SYS.V_$VERSION");
                    while (rset.next()) {
                         System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
                    stmt.close();
                    System.out.println("Ok.");
               } catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
The output is :
4875
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE     10.2.0.1.0     Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Ok.
the statement Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "user", "password") execution time is 4875 milliseconds!!!!!
so i switched to 9i the output is:
0
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE     9.2.0.1.0     Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Ok.
I change the JDK version to 1.4 or 1.6 the execution time is also 0.
I walk through the internet and finally found the solution:
ProxySelector.setDefault(null);
But i am still confused when it come to the same environment the same code to connect to the 9i,10g, the getConnection() method execution time is so different without the statement ProxySelector.setDefault(null). so I suspect that this is an issue to 10g not the JDK1.5.x.

One correction to the above <Corrected now in my original post>
Its connecting to " com.bea:ServerRuntime=managed03,Name=managed03,Type=JRockitRuntime"
Tried with previous version again, it works perfect. But i still have issue with new JRE version.
