Hi Yan Zhu. If you use JDBC thin, the connect string looks like: lConnection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:uid/passwd@ip:port:sid"); whereas in JDBC thick (OCI) the connect string is: lConnection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:oci8:uid/passwd@Net_service_name");
where Net service name is a entry in tnsnames.ora.
