>>I can not even load the driver class
/JDBC ther-api-t ips/jdbc/h ow-to-conn ect- oracle -server-us ing-jdbc-4 .html for example on how to connect. The Driver path is differetn but the rest remains the same
ClassNotFoundException exception? Then you just do not have it in your classpath
Oh - and the URL for oracle with the thin driver should start with:
jdbc:oracle:thin:
not the full Driver path. The full Driver path is needed only for loading the driver. I see that you tried to load the class with the connection string so you just have them in the wrong order.
See this for some more details on the connection string: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki
and see http://www.java-tips.org/o
Let me know if I can find with anything else.
