Thin driver 8.1.6 for JDK 1.2.x

What differences are there between the thin driver that can be downloaded from technet and the one that is shipped with Oracle8i2 EE (Win version)?
The sizes and file dates are different between the two files and the classes12.zip that ships with the CD have additional files. The program I run that uses the driver identifies both the old and the new classes12.zip as version 8.1.6.0.0.

I believe the one from technet was created
under the Solaris environment. That is
the only difference that I know of.

Thin driver 8.1.7 for HP-UX JDK 1.3.1

Hello,
I would like to know which is the suggested current thin driver for this environment
HP UX
8.1.7
JDK 1.3.1
and a pointer to how to get it.
We are experience slow access to stored procedure when a high number of calls are issued concurrently and I've read that there may have been threading issues in thin oracle drivers.
I assume these issues, if any, have been solved in the most recent versions.
Thanks a lot.

Thin driver / 8i / Solaris hangs for 60 seconds

I am having the same problem that I have also seen in these two messages:
http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum8/HTML/002149.html http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001335.html
Using the thin driver to connect to Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 7, every several hundred operations or so will hang for 60 seconds. A stack trace will reveal it is hung on "socket.read()", most frequently when it is trying to close a Statement but not exclusively. After 60 seconds, or if another database operation on a different connection proceeds, it will wake up and continue until the next freeze. This problem occurs with jdk1.2.2 and jdk1.3 (Sun VMs), several different versions of the thin driver (tried classes111.zip, classes12.zip, classes102.zip, downloaded the most recent the other day), and will happen from a remote server or on localhost. A patch upgrade the other day to 8.1.6 seemed to make the problem less frequent but it persists.

WebLogic 5.1.0 & Oracle 8.1.7 thin driver for jdk 1.3.1

We're currently using Oracle 8.1.6, and need to upgrade to 8.1.7.
Platform: Solaris 2.6
WebLogic: 5.1 Service Pack 9
JDK : 1.3.1
Regarding the thin drivers, my understanding is that w/ 8.1.7, we can use either
8.1.7 OR 9.0.1 thin drivers. Has anyone seen issues using either thin driver
w/ Oracle 8.1.7 and WebLogic?
Thanks in advance!

8.1.7 OR 9.0.1 thin drivers. Has anyone seen issues using either thin driver
w/ Oracle 8.1.7 and WebLogic?Chad,
We've used both thin drivers successfully under WebLogic 5.1, and
have been using the 9.0.1 thin driver under Weblogic 6.1 without any
problems. We moved to the 9.0.1 driver because it's the first driver
version to implement
PreparedStatement.setTimestamp(Timestamp,Calendar).
Recently, we started looking at using JMS and may need to use
distributed
transactions, and we're concerned about transaction support in the
thin
driver. Various WebLogic docs, like
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61///notes/issues.html#1048698, mention
that 8.1.7 has XA threading issues that cause problems in distributed
transactions. In one place, they mention that they may have a
workaround, but it's unclear what the status of that is. And it looks
like they definitely haven't gotten to testing
the 9.0.1 driver. If you're interested in distributed transactions,
you might want to investigate that first.

How to use a custom KeyManager for Oracles JCBD thin driver

I am trying to create a java application that uses PKI for authentication. I need to be able to retrieve a certificate from the Microsoft Certificate Store MCS) and pass it along to an Oracle database (11.2). I am connecting using the jdbc:oracle:thin driver. After spending some time googlling it appears that I have to create a custom KeyManager and a custom TrustManager to accomplish this. I am not sure if this is even the correct way to approach the problem, but assuming it is; how do I force the jdbc:oracle:thin driver to use my KeyManager and TrustManager? Also, as stated above the client certificates will be stored in the MCS while the Oracle database will be using a wallet. The database could be running on just about any OS that supports Oracles database which is why I will not be setting up Oracle to use MCS.
Thanks for the help!

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).

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.

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.

re-read my earlier reply -- the comment was :
Thedatabase you're using went out of support over 2 years
ago. oracle doesn't provide jdbc drivers for anything less
than the minimum supported version ---> 7.3.4.At no time did i refer to the client s/w being required !!
also it was not tested against unsupported version of the
rdbms ...
also rdbms 7.1.3 isn't y2k compliant.
use it at your own risk..
what "claim" are you saying oracle made ??

Sql_trace does not work for Java app using Oracle JDBC thin driver

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. I enabled sql trace at instance level by setting sql_trace and timed_statistics to true in init.ora. I restarted the db instance. I wrote a stand-alone java application which used Oracle JDBC thin driver(classes12.zip) to make a connection to my db instance, do some select statements, and close the connection. There were no trace files generated in the folder specified by udump_dest variable. However, if I used sqlplus or dba studio, I saw trace files generated. Has anyone got Oracle sql trace work for JDBC calls from java apps.
Thanks in advance!

Thin driver for SQL server 2000

Hi,
Is there a thin driver for SQL server 2000?
If so where can i find it?
I searched the net but in vain.
thanx in advance
Partha

Did you try the search engine available at the java soft site
http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers
I used this engine some time ago and found that the thin driver at http://www.inetsoftware.de was the best fit for our project.
hope this helps.

Support for using TNSNAMES with Oracle Thin Driver?

Hi.
In the official Oracle JDBC FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm), they say that from the "10.2.0.1.0" release, the Thin driver hast support for using TNSNAMES entries. Thus, you can use URLs like this:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@GL (thin driver, but connection info defined in tnsnames.ora)
Does anyone know how could I use an URL like this? Do I have to install the Oracle client? or can I simply copy a tnsnames.ora file someplace on disk and specify its ubication through an environment variable or something like that?
I haven't find util information in the Oracle site....any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I just found some info here:

Performance problems using WLS6.1 with the thin driver for Ora9i from OTN

Hello everyone,
Has anyone been experimenting with the thin driver for Oracle 9i under WLS6.1. I got it running, but
I get extremely bad performance when having multiple concurrent accesses. It works more or less in
single user mode. Also it seems not to support XA transactions?
When could we expect the driver from BEA to be out?
Thanks in advance!
Samuel Kounev

I had done this from the very beginning, but I was still getting very bad performance under
concurrent accesses. I even followed Sree's instructions and removed the old thin driver from
weblogic.jar, but this didn't help. I am now trying to get the OCI driver for 9i running and hope
this will solve the problem.

JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity

Hello JDev Team,
I am trying to implement JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity.
It works fine with java.sql.Connection and java.util.Properties like in the following code:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
int level = AnoServices.REQUIRED;
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( RC4_40 )");
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client",Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main", props);
etc...
But I am developing an application with InfoSwing components and it has a different way to connect to Oracle database using oracle.dacf.dataset.connections.Connection, like this:
sessionInfo1.setAppModuleInfo(new ModuleInfo("bc", "BcModule"));
sessionInfo1.setConnectionInfo(new LocalConnection("JDBCThin"));
sessionInfo1.publishSession();
My question is:
Is there any way to implement DataEncryption and Integrity into this type of connection?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Victor Bykov

Victor,
No, you can't do this from DAC, but I've been discussing it with the developer, and we both think this capability would be useful to have, so I've logged it as an enhancement request.
I do have a question for you. Once you've made the JDBC connection, do you need access to the Connection object afterwards? We're thinking of how the change could be implemented, and one way would be to allow you to pass in a Properties object when creating your own NamedConnection.
Thanks
Blaise
