Oracle JDBC Driver for Linux

I'm looking for a place to download an Oracle JDBC driver for Linux. I have installed Oracle 8.1.5 for Linux, but don't find the driver either in the installation, nor on the CD. Can anyone point me to someplace I might be able to find it?
Also, generic help in setting this up to work, JDBC API calls would also be of great help.
Thanks.

1) You need classes111.zip usually located at
$ORACLE_HONE/jdbc/lib.
2) Add classes111.zip to CLASSPATH and export
3) If you use thin driver your code should look like:
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Connect to the database
// You must put a database name after the @ sign in the
connection URL.
// You can use either the fully specified SQL*net syntax or
a short cut
// syntax as <host>:<port>:<sid>. The example uses the
short cut syntax.
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection
(jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:ORACLE_SID,
USER_NAME, PASSWOED);

Where can i find mysql Jdbc driver for linux

Hi all,
Can any one give urls to download mysql jdbc driver for linux.
And also for ODBC DRIVER FOR MYSQL ON LINUX.
Thanks

(This is a type 4 driver, so "for Linux" is irrelevant.)

Bad support for ts hint in Oracle jdbc driver (for preparedStatement)

hi
I have the following SQL
SELECT TRUNC({ ts '2004-01-01 00:00:00.0' }) FROM ET1_ELEMENT
With the jdbc.odbc driver the following meta data is returned:
ResultSet meta data are...
Column [1]
name [TRUNC(TO_DATE('2004-01-0100:00]
type [93]
class name [java.sql.Timestamp]
which is fine.
Nevertheless with Oracle thin driver I got an SQL exception:
The SQL Error is:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got TIMESTAMP
internal exception:
(class java.sql.SQLException):
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got TIMESTAMP
If I use the TO_DATE in the sentence (e.g. t_date('2004-01-01 00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) everything is fine on both driver.
Any idea on the problem? Is it a bug?
Thanks

Mikael,
I couldn't ascertain your environment from your post, so the below may be irrelevant for you. But in the hope that is isn't...
I tried your example on an Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) database on SUN [sparc] Solaris 9, with J2SE 1.4.2_04 and the "ojdbc14.jar" [JDBC] driver. If I remove the "trunc" function, then I do not get an Oracle error. I must admit, though, that I don't understand why you need to trunc(ate) a literal value. All that the "trunc" function does is set the time part -- the hours, minutes, seconds, etc. -- of your timestamp to (all) zeroes -- which is what you have in your literal, anyway, so why the need for "trunc"?
I believe the Oracle JDBC driver converts the java sql-escape syntax -- "{ts '2004-01-01 00:00:00.0'}" -- to a call to the "to_date" function, anyway. Possibly one way to verify this would be to use P6 Spy. If I am correct, then it would only be logical that Oracle allows you to use the sql-escape syntax wherever it is all right to use the "to_date" function. But then again, I guess that
select trunc(to_date('2004-01-01 00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI')
from ET1_ELEMENTis allowable syntax anyway. So I guess maybe that this may be a bug in the JDBC driver. Have you checked the MetaLink Web site?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Oracle ODBC driver for Linux (C Language)

Dear Guys,
I am writing small code in C language which will connects Oracle to insert/delete and update data in oracle database. Despite of searching I don't find ODBC driver to connect to Oracle database in Linux platform through C language code. Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?
Thanks in advance

Can anybody please let me know if Oracle provides such ODBC Driver?Never seen an ODBC driver for Oracle on Linux. Perl uses its own abstraction interface. PHP uses its own abstraction interface. Ditto for Java. (keep in mind that ODBC is a Microsoft invention)
And the OCI is not that more complex to use than ODBC. In fact, OCI is a lot more powerful. And the Oracle® Call Interface Programmer's Guide has numerous source code examples you can essentially copy and paste and modify for your needs. See Appendix B. Demonstration Programs.
The resulting code is also a lot more portable - relying directly on an OCI client driver, instead of an ODBC driver that runs on top of an OCI driver.

JDBC Drivers for Linux

How come Oracle's web site only has downloads for NT and Solaris. Where do I get the latest JDBC driver for Linux?

You should be able to use clases111.zip from AIX or NT with your
Linux client, just copy the file, and add it to your CLASSPATH.
I'm using classes111.zip from AIX (8.1.5) on NT and Win95
clients.
This will work for the thin client, the oci8 needs SQL*Net
(and some more support libs.) installed to work

Oracle JDBC driver 10g and xMII

I have a BLS that tries inserting CLOB data into Oracle 10g database. Since Oracle 8 JDBC driver does not support that (I saw other SDN messages on the same issue), I have download and copied Oracle JDBC driver for 10g
ojdbc14.jar to
C:\ServletExec AS\se-xMII\webapps\default\Lighthammer\WEB-INF\lib
folder
I restarted Servlet exec engine and I'm still seeing the same error
that the value to be inserted is too large ( I'm inserting more than
4000 characters but much lesser than 4 GB which CLOB column can take)
1. I want to understand if there is something else that I need to
change in order for xMII to pickup the new driver.
2. Also, should I add it classpath?
3. Looking at some Oracle notes on using capability of 10g driver for
manipulating large data, the property SetBigStringTryClob=true should
be set. I saw examples of some non-xMII applications setting it in their
servers.xml. Similarly, in which file can I set this property in xMII
to force the driver to use this feature?
Is ServerDefaults.xml under C:\Lighthammer\Illuminator\SysConf the
right place? Since it is not recommended to modify the configuration
files manually rather than using admin console, I'm not sure on this
one.
Let me know
Thanks

Are you really sure this "SetBig.." thing is the solution?
Searching for the ORA error you posted results in quite a few solutions in the way you write your SQL statement.
Maybe changing your statement might help.
If you don't mind can you post the SQL statement?
Another good test would be to see if the SQL statement goes through without any errors when used from a different SQL editor.I would suggest do that first if you haven't already.

Thanks in advance.

Java Development Quote:
You can download the JDK 1.2 version of the 8.1.6 Thin driver from this site. It is 100% Pure Java and will run on Linux.
As you replied, I downloaded 8.1.6 Thin driver(classes12.zip) and installed it in the Linux server where Oracle 8.1.5 resides at.
I wrote a test program, and it compiled without errors. But when I excuted it, I get the error message below:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNU
M=135286784)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
Below is the test program I used:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class Test
public static void main (String args [])throws SQLException
//DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Cannot load the Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@207.207.148.132:1521:DR_DEV","crunchy", "imcrunchy");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
// Select the ENAME column from the EMP table
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select sysdate from dual");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
I'd appreciate if you give me some insight.

Exception "not implemented for class oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CNumberAccessor"

Hello I'm having some troubles dealing with 'java.sql.Date' I'm working with express edition database and I have three classes(different packages)
1.Mapper
2.Objects Class
3.ConsoleTest
I need to get an arraylist of objects, some of which contain dates, but when try to do it I get this exception
"java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type: getDate not implemented for class oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CNumberAccessor"
Do you have any idea how I can implement the getDate method for this T4CNumberAccessor
Here are the methods that I'm using
1.Mapper
public ArrayList<Object> getAllTaskAuctions(Connection con)
          ArrayList<Object> l1 = new ArrayList<Object>();
          String SQLString1 = "select * from taskauction natural join tasks";

     con = DriverManager.getConnection(

     //username/password@[/]host[:port][service_name]
     catch (Exception e)
     {   System.out.println("fail in getConnection()");
     System.out.println(e); }

while (itr1.hasNext())
TaskAuction taskauct = (TaskAuction) itr1.next();
//Problem, exception traced to TaskAuctionMapper
System.out.println(

          "StartDate: "+ taskauct.getStartdate()+", "+
          "User ID: " + taskauct.getUserid());
     }

Found the answer, I shouldn't use integers as parameters of column index in the result set, but instead use String to mark the fields :)

Problem with JDBC driver for Oracle 10g

Hi.
I've successfully accessed a MySQL database via a DataSource from a servlet (that uses a DAO). However, when I try to do the same with an Oracle 10g Database, I get the error message:
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest driver JAR available on the Oracle site. As with the MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib folder within Tomcat. (I've also, of course, made the necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the Oracle download page, I found that the oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced with oracle.jdbc. However, I got a similar error message when I tried this modification. Upon examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the driver was there and that it was, in fact, still oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver!
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been updated with a driver that matches its latest documentation. However, this does not explain why the driver is not even being loacted when it is in the correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.

I've successfully accessed a MySQL database via a
DataSource from a servlet (that uses a DAO). However,
when I try to do the same with an Oracle 10g
Database, I get the error message:
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
That's different from a ClassNotFoundException.
>
I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter
of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest
driver JAR available on the Oracle site. So you got ojdbc14.jar or ojdbc14_g.jar under the 10g drivers?
As with the
MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib
folder within Tomcat. I think it's a better idea to put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your Web app rather than commons/lib. WAR files are a very good idea, too.
(I've also, of course, made the
necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)So you're using a JNDI data source? It sounds to me like that's where the problem is.
You should not have to edit the server.xml at all. If you put the <ResourceParams> in a context XML file with the same name as your WAR file into the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory it'll be picked up automatically. (It might also be accessible in the META-INF directory for your app, but I haven't done it that way.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the
Oracle download page, I found that the
oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all
references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced
with oracle.jdbc.
However, I got a similar error
message when I tried this modification. Upon
examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the
driver was there and that it was, in fact, still
oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver! The fully-resolved class name you should be using MUST match the class that's in the ojdbc14.jar that you're using. Look in the JAR for the definitive answer: the one that I downloaded is still using the oracle.jdbc.driver package for OracleDriver.class. Ignore the docs - use the name that's in the JAR.
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been
updated with a driver that matches its latest
documentation. That often happens with docs.
However, this does not explain why the
driver is not even being loacted when it is in the
correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this?
Any help would be much appreciated.I think the problem lies in your web.xml and server.xml
I'd recommend that you decouple the JDBC from the Web app for now. See if you can connect to Oracle using a simple desktop app and leave the Web piece out of the equation for now. Once you can do that, you'll be certain that the parameters you're using are correct and you can turn your attention to getting the Tomcat configuration right.
PS - I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.1 and Tomcat successfully right now, so it can be done.

Choosing jdbc driver for Oracle 9.0.1 with sdk 1.4.1?

Hi all experts...
I am really beating my head over this... I had java sdk 1.3.1 installed and i am writing an application for oracle database 9.0.1 The driver i had was a classes12.zip file that i included in the classpath to run the application.
Now, i have upgraded my java to 1.4.1 but my application is not picking up the zip file anymore! I am getting No suitable driver:08001 error and NoClassDefFoundError. I checked the oracle website, they dont have a 9.0.1 driver for sdk 1.4.
Is my current driver compatible?
Do i have to upgrade my oracle DB to 9.2 and use another driver?
Or is just one of those classpath problems?
Part of my code is given below:
private static Statement createStatement(String driver, String url, String user, String password)throws IllegalArgumentException, SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
if (url == null || driver == null)
     throw new IllegalArgumentException("No database specified");
try
Class.forName(driver);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
System.out.println("Class not found: "+driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
return conn.createStatement();
CLASSPATH=C:\projects\MauiWSxml\resources\classes12.zip;
I will be grateful to any help ...Pleeeeessseeee

Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 JDBC driver for Java 1.5 & Java 1.6

Hi,
Is there any JDBC driver that I can download for running Java application of version 1.5 or 1.6 on Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 ?
As I see in the official link of Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
The JDBC drivers for this database are only for Java 1.4 and older.
Can any one please help?
Thanks

The subject is about Oracle 9.2.0.1 JDBC drivers. "Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 JDBC driver for Java 1.5 & Java 1.6"
Oracle database 9.2.0 drivers may only be used with JDK 1.4 or earlier.
But, Oracle database 9.2.0 may be used with Oracle database 11 drivers with JDK 5.0, 6.0.
