That means that the Oracle JDBC driver is not in your classpath. Consult the Oracle documentation to see where that gets installed. If you inadvertently deleted it, you can probably get it from Oracles web site as well.

Did you check if your Driver jar is in your classpath?

Hi Padma,
Search for classes12.jar (oracle thin drivers ) file in your system or else try to download one and put the same in the classpath and recompile the java program the reported exception should not come again

hi,

Oracle initially distributed it's Oracle8 driver library as: classes12.zip.
If you're using Oracle 9i (and JDK >= 1.4), the drivers are distributed as ojdbc14.jar.

So you have to check for: classes12.zip, or classes12.jar, or ojdbc14.jar in your classpath.

Recompile the java program

This is not necessary.

Regards, Jan
