JDBC Drivers - Oracle JDBC Drivers 9i
| |
Oracle JDBC drivers provide compatibilty between different version of the Oracle server. Oracle JDBC/OCI drivers do not provide support between OCI libraries. The JDBC driver included with ADS supports native connections to Oracle 10g/9i/8i, but only OCI connections with the 10g client software. If you have the 9i OCI client drivers installed on your machine and you would like to use them with ADS then you will need to install the Oracle 9i JDBC driver, which has support for 9i OCI libraries.
Note OSX Installations: OCI Connections are not supported on OSX. There is no need to change or update the drivers on OSX.
You may locate the latest Oracle JDBC drivers at the following location ...
Vendor: Oracle
Driver URL: [Free Registration Required] http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
You may locate the JDBC drivers for your installed version of Oracle in the Oracle server or Oracle client installations. Below is a directory listing of the driver files in the [ORACLE_HOME]\jdbc\lib\ directory. The ojdbc14.jar file is the Oracle JDBC driver required by ADS and the nls_charser12.jar is the language pack for the JDBC driver.

To update the ADS JDBC drivers you need to overwrite the ADS oracle.jar file with ojdbc14.jar or classes12.zip/.jar, and overwrite the nlscharset12.jar with nls_charset12.jar. Below is a listing of the Aqua Data Studio library directory [ADS_HOME]\lib\drivers\ ...
