You do not need to unzip the jdbc driver zip file, you can
add it to the CLASSPATH by including the name of the file
in the classpath. i.e. something like
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/my_path_to_driver/jdbc111.zip
If your JVM doesn't like that, try renaming the .zip file
toa .jar file -- but it shouldn't be necessary to unzip
the thing.
