You need to goto Java.Sun.Com and download the SDK. 1.3 is stable, 1.4 is beta (although I do use 1.4 and it works good, but I would recommend 1.3 for production).
You will need to unpack it, I generally install it in /usr/java1.4 and make symbolic links in /usr/bin for all the common tools (java, javac, jdb). I also modify profile scripts to have env JAVA_HOME /usr/java/1.4 And add the following to the path $JAVA_HOME/bin At that point, you have the JDK/JVM installed. You want to then get the classes12.zip from the $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib directory and put them some where on your system you want to connect with. You need to modify the classpath to include this file, or specify it when doing javac/java with the -cp option.

They want to connect to our Oracle database on another Unix server, using JDBC. Can someone give me a clue as to what I need to install/configure on the Solaris system? I realize this is a simple question, but I can't quite get my mind around where I need to get started. Many thanks. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
