Which 3rd-party JDBC driver for Oracle Database is the most popular/preferred choice? (It is widely reported on the nets that Oracle’s driver is buggy and lame.)
UPDATE: CORRECTION: Oracle’s JDBC driver works fine for CLOB columns. The problems I was experiencing were with LONG columns. I have changed these to CLOB and now Oracle’s driver works fine.
Oracle’s CLOB support is fine. The LONG support is problematic. Updating the columns to CLOB fixed the problem. There is a lot of information on the net about bad CLOB support in Oracle’s JDBC driver. This information is out of date.
