We are using the Oracle JDBC driver version 9.0.2.0.0 and are having some trouble concerning saving CLOBs to the database. (method clob.setCharacterStream(0); throws an UnsupportedFeatureSqlException. I think this is because of the old version…
Is it save to switch to the newest 10g driver? (We are using a database of version 10). Or could that cause any problems in our existing queries?
If you’re using version 10 of the DB, I’d definitely use the 10g JDBC drivers. In fact, and ISTBC, but I think that using 9 JDBC drivers against a 10 DB would be considered unsupported by Oracle.
I don’t recall having any issues when we shifted (long time ago now!) but of course you’ll have to test.
