HI Deriderj, thanks for your response, well I have changed the Datasourse name to SID which is "Imran" and still it is not working....do I need to download anymore driver or whether they be bundled with the ojdbc.jar, please advice me. What if I want to use another driver as you mentioned...not to use thin: what other drivers will be available for the Oracle9.2.0.1.0 please advice me, thanks a lot
My SID name is "Imran"
listening port is is 1521
odbc datasource name is "shabeerjdbc"
I'm a very biginner and I'm facing too much problem, please help me. Well I have got Oracle9.2.0.1.0 loaded as the database and soon after I intstalled it I have copied ojdbc14.jar into my java classpath and I'm trying to connect to this data base. I dont know what driver I should use, neither I downloaded any. I'm just mentioning thin: in my URL. But It is giving error, can u please tell me what driver should I mention in the URL, and why I'm getting this error, Here is the code that is compiling without errors.
import java.sql.*;
public class ShabeerJdbc {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Connection con;
String createString;
createString = "create table COFFEES " +
"(COF_NAME VARCHAR(32), " +
"SUP_ID INTEGER, " +
"PRICE FLOAT, " +
"SALES INTEGER, " +
"TOTAL INTEGER)";
Statement stmt;

     System.out.println("shabeer2");
} catch(java.lang.Exception e) {
