hi thomas
gotcha. my notes are concerning 9i through 10g, and some of those changes specifically came in around 9.2
FWIW, at this point our organization is back to working mostly with PostgreSQL instead of Oracle, so i won't claim to be any expert on the latter.

Just to clarify things : there is no ojdbc14.jar shipped with oracle 9.0.
As there are circumstances where one has to use the driver which comes with
the database installation (e.g. if one has to use oci connections), one
really does not have the choice between classes12.jar and ojdbc14.jar for
oracle9.0
Also, oracle says in the 9.0 docs that the classes12.jar works for
jdk1.2.x, 1.3.x and 1.4

From what I understand,
$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar is for JDK 1.3 and earlier $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar is required for JDK 1.4
We've found that you can get by with the classes12.jar on Oracle 9i (this was on Gentoo and RedHat) even with JDK 1.4, but in the move up to Oracle 10g it seems more crucial.
Also there were some docs by Oracle (still trying to find it) where
they suggested using "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" instead of
"oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" as of the move to 10g. During tests,
we found instances in our code where that appears to make a important
different -- but that was fairly esoteric code, such as proxy users.

There is definitely more than just a name change between class12.jar
and ojdbc14.jar. I think the former follows JDBC 1.2 spec and the
latter follows JDBC 1.4 spec. I'm not sure what exactly the changes
are but I remember reading something in Oracle.com that said there was
a difference.
