I am using javac version 1.5 to write some programs which access an oracle8 database. Do I want to use the JDBC thin library that corresponds to my version of java (ojdbc5), or do I want to use the library that originally came with this release of oracle (classes12.zip)?

Deb,
I would uses classes12 unless there is a reason not to.

Thanks Jeanne. I actually tried running my code with all releases of the Oracle JDBC drivers. The Oracle8 RDBMS only worked with classes111.zip and classes12.zip.

Note that classes111.zip uses and older version of JDBC.

Does your Oracle install include ojdbc14.jar, and have you tried it? This is the same as classes12.jar except for use with Java 1.4 JVMs.

SCJP 1.4, SCWCD 1.3, SCBCD 1.3

I didn't have the ojdbc14.jar. I had gone online to download ojdbc5 and ojdbc6, which unfortunately didn't work. Thanks for the tip. I would rather use ojdbc14.jar than the classes12.zip. I'll download it and give it a try.
