Yes, this is correct. We have Oracle system 8 and it includes JDBC
drivers, which are 100% pure Java. This means that I am able to use it
from my Linux box, and my students can use it from their Wintel boxes.
Just need to get the JDBC drivers zip file (classes111.zip for Oracle
8) to your machine.

For earlier versions of Oracle, I believe the JDBC drivers were not
included by default. However, I remember having downloaded free JDBC
drivers for Oracle 7 before. These did require a certain version of
Oracle, I think 7.3 or above, so wouldn't work with the 7.1 system
that we had before. Check your Oracle version before looking for
drivers.
Cheers,
Robert.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question and the answer is no.
