look for classes12.zip
im sure they are on ur machine if u have oracle Client installed on ur system;
put it in the classpath;
use either of one to load the driver!
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
datz it
u r all set

download the thin drivers for Oracle 8.1.7(they are backward compatable). They are available from the first link in this post. There are some other useful links here too http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum55/HTML/000010.html

Hi Hrithik Roshan!
thanks for reply,
I put the path of the classes12.zip file in the classpath, but now I can't run a java program
when I am compiling a java file its compiling Successfully but when Running the file it give me the message

C:\javac test.java (test is the name of the file)
C:\>java test
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.1', but '1.3' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
its happened since when I put the classes12.zip in the classpath
Before that it was fine, if know plz tell me what is wrong

Make sure you only have 1 Oracle JDBC driver in your classpath. Also, make sure your PATH points to the JRE installed with Oracle.
