Hi, we have a problem with our jdbc-connection (sql-exception: protocol violation). We plan to use a newer jdbc driver. Oracle recommends to upgrade to the *latest* jdbc-driver (see quoting below). Do you have practical experiences that backup your suggestion to use an exact *version matching* driver ? Thanks in advance Wolfgang Stein -------- quoting from metalink.oracle.com ------------ Last Revision Date: 21-JAN-2002 Problem Solution ---------------- Upgrade the JDBC Driver to the latest version available. Note, if you are using the JDBC OCI driver, you are limited by the Oracle client version on your machine. If you are using the JDBC Thin driver, you are not constrained by the client software version and the latest JDBC Thin driver has been certified to run against all prior database versions from 7.3.3, as long as you do not try and use features related to a later database version. -------- /quoting from metalink.oracle.com ------------ > -----Original Message----- > From: Reynir H�bner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 5:16 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: oci8 driver problem on Linux > > > hi, > maybe some of these comments you've seen in previous replies to your > question. > > First of all, the classes12.zip is not the same for Oracle9i > and 8i, so > you must ensure that you've downloaded the correct one (from > otn.oracle.com). > > You must install the Oracle Client Software to use OCI driver > and set up > connections and such, as it uses TNSNames.ora to create connection to > the database server. > > There are two drivers in the classes12.zip one is the OCI and > the other > is the thin driver. > > I have used the thin driver most the time, it works fine, and I think > most cases it is sufficient to use that one. > > > remember to rename the zip file to .jar. > > hope it helps > -reynir > > > > > > > -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
