I have installed oracle 8i in windows2000, and have a java class to connect to the oracle database, compiled it but when run it I got an exception : oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver Question : Do I need to download a driver for oracle or it comes with the instatllation ?? Here is the code : import java.sql.*; public class JDBCExample { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:oracle:thin:@majid:1521:test", "scott", "tiger"); System.out.println("Got connected"); int maxEmpNo = 7600; //Create PreparedStatement String s = "SELECT e.ename, e.job, d.dname " + "FROM emp e, dept d " + "WHERE e.deptno = d.deptno " + "AND e.empno < ?"; PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(s); stmt.setInt(1, maxEmpNo); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(); System.out.println("Name" + "\t" + "Job" + "\t" + "Department"); while (rs.next()) { System.out.println(rs.getString("ename") + "\t" + rs.getString("job") + "\t" + rs.getString("dname")); } } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage() ); } } } Thanks _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ======================================================================== === To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
