Hi, I have jdk1.5 and oracle 10g EE installed, I have this code:

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
class toAccess {
public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
} catch( Exception e ) {
System.out.println( "No se pudo cargar el puente JDBC-ODBC." );

My problem is an error from exception of Class.forName
I have ojdbc14.jar in my classpath, driver for jdk1.4 and jdk1.5, I downloading from oracle site.

Answer 1

You need to register the driver at the driver manager and then create a connection to the database.
You could use something like this inside your method:
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
or just
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
then create the connection to the database
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost:1521:orcl", "scott", "tiger");
Consider to put the connection properties in a properties file. This make you code more flexible.
