These should be all the Oracle resources you need to get started, get familiar with
jdbc, trouble shoot your problems, and eventually become advanced!
download your oracle drivers at
http://technet.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html and follow the download procedures
enable the client to connect(set environment)
http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/java.817/a83728/05confi3.htm#1003460 To find all the Oracle specific code that you could ever need
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html -->look for the "JDBC Samples" links
If you just want code snippets that explain various tasks(including
connections), this is a good link too:

http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm if you come accross an Oracle SQLException, then you can investigate the ORA-XXXXX error messages and solutions at:
