RE: JDBC connectivityfor ORACLE !!!
XP is different. Usually under windows the install is alot smoother than under the flavors of unix I have available. All I can really say is good luck, can't help you further.

If you're installing oracle on windows, the easiest thing is to just do the default install.

I haven't had a chance to play with Oracle 9i, but I do have experience with 8i and classes112.zip is the drivier you want. the older 8i jdbc driver did not have pooling support and had several bugs. one bug I found with a co-worker was verified in classes111.zip driver and fixed in classes112.zip peter --- Chong Yu Meng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh dear ! I had 2 consultants from Oracle India helping me the last time, and it took about 2 weeks to get everything right, but that involved installing and tuning Oracle 8 and 8i, setting up automated backups, etc., along with JDBC. Cost a bomb, but they were quite good. I don't think I could have done the job without them. The way I would start would be : 1. Find out the version of Oracle - 8.1.5, like I said, has pretty flaky drivers (not sure if Oracle has released any new versions since my last disastrous encounter back in 2000), but 8.1.7 seems to be ok. DataDirect drivers are still your safest bet, I believe, and they're pretty cheap (in Singapore anyway). 2. Read up on JDBC and SQL. There are some excellent tutorials on the Internet. Try IBM Developerworks (http://www.ibm.com/developer). If your implementation is simple enough (i.e. do most of your processing outside the database, and use the database only as a repository), this should be all you need. 3. See if you can get help from a resident Oracle guru. I suppose you could post your questions here, but I'm no expert in Oracle, and I'd be unable to help you. I'm not sure about the level of Oracle support on the newsgroups or websites. For IBM's DB2, the support is the best I have ever experienced, with the original developers sometimes pitching in to help in the newsgroups. Hope this helps !

Re: JDBC connectivityfor ORACLE !!!
Actually, I believe it's classes12.zip (and needs to be renamed classes12.jar). Keep in mind Oracle recommends using ojdbc14.jar with JDK 1.4. I've used it, and it works fine.

Re: JDBC connectivityfor ORACLE !!!
thanks for the correction :) I haven't updated my driver, since I'm still using 8i myself for my dev toys. All else fails, go to Oracle's site and check for the latest driver. Oracle also provides sample jdbc code if you are new to oracle. You can download all of it through oracle (OTN) section. sorry for the out of date info. peter --- Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually, I believe it's classes12.zip (and needs to be renamed classes12.jar).

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the algo's. I worked on integrating personalization applications a couple years back relating to filtering news. If your needs aren't too complex, it shouldn't take too long to implement some form of statistical analysis. Using file system to store the entire text doesn't necessarily mean you can't store the text summaries in Oracle. Google for related topics and you should be to find some examples. If you're needs are more complex, you'll need to look into grammar based parsing, which is a slow process. Most of the comparison between grammar based and statistical parsing has shown that statistical is more effective. hope that helps. peter Swapneel Dange [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:hey peter, mike chong ! so if i stay with a small thing like SQLPLUS, the JDBC connectivity wont be a tough thing to do as compared to the ORACLE implementation. right ? because in last few days after consulting with some people in-house here, i am thinking over the OPTION of SQLPLUS. do commment on this !
