I havent found anything that the thin drivers cant do....i'm sure there's something
but they handle SQL calls perfectly...as well as calling procs, etc.

Hi Nimesh,
The best drivers to use for Oracle from servlets is Oracle JDBC drivers.
They are available in 2 types.
1) Thin drivers 2) OCI drivers. You can download them for free from
Oracle's web site and also you can find the instructions how to use them
right there. I used OCI drivers. They worked great.
The steps to make connection are:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci7:@MyDatabase","userid","passwor
d");
