On the machine you have installed the server, Oracle JDBC drivers are in
ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib. Just putojdbc14.jaron your classpath (ojdbc14_g.jaris the same asojdbc14.jar, except that classes were compiled with “javac -g” and contain some tracing information).EDIT: According to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) JDBC Drivers,
ojdbc14.jarcontains classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5 (and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with a JDK 6, some features of JDBC 4.0 won’t just be available).Some newer drivers are available at Oracle Database 11g Release 2 JDBC Drivers but I don’t really see the difference between
ojdbc14.jarandojdbc15.jar(except thatojdbc15.jarrequires a JDK 5+): they are both JDBC 3.0 driver so I think it’s just a matter of end of life support forojbdc14.jar. If you want JDBC 4.0 support, you’ll needojdbc16.jarthough. Have a look at the Oracle JDBC FAQ if you want more details.
