Re: Installing jdbc

2004-03-31 Thread Christian Gründemann 
 I am investigating using JDBC to access an Oracle database
 server from a FreeBSD system.  The freeBSD system does not have X
 windows running on it.  Is it possible to install jdbc-oracle816 plus
 what it needs to live and not need X?

I am quite sure that you don't need any X-Server for using jdbc.
What you need for JDBC is the Oracle JDBC Driver in your classpath.
And of course java.sql.* and all the other classes you need.




 Our uses of this would be in the command-line and script modes
 so we don't need X except possibly for libraries which are okay.  I
 just don't want to have to run X if I can help it.

 Thank you.

Use the ports, Luke:

% cd /usr/ports/databases/jdbc-oracle816
% make pretty-print-run-depends-list 
This port requires package(s) compat3x-i386-4.4.20020925 javavmwrapper-1.4 
jdk-1.1.8 to run.

Looks to me like you don't need X windows on that machine.  However,
you do need an old version of Java.

Cheers,

Matthew
