you could do the same in java using the thin drivers... but then you would have to download the drivers and add the file to your classpath.
i did download the drivers but then when i add the files to my classpath. The application would come out with:
Exception in
thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: dataDB
If i remove the files from my classpath, some other error comes out but it is related to the Oracle url. I am not sure if this next error comes from not including the files to my classpath though.
TIA
