Downloading/installing jdbc thin drivers on linux"

The problem is that i have never installed it on Windows before.
  My boss , just told me that i don't need to install it.I just need to include the classpath of the classes12.zip


Jasbir

Do you know how to do it?

Thanks

easiest would just be to add the zip to your ext directory.
you may have to rename it to a jar.

Sorry objects , i am new to linux.How do i add the zip to ext directory

Jasbir

if jre is installed in say /usr/java:

cp classes12.zip /usr/java/lib/ext/classes12.jar

My jre is in j2sdk1.4.1_02


I am at the home/prod


cp classes12.zip /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/lib/ext/classes12.jar


Note: at user home prod , i have 2 files, classes12.zip and classes12.jar


when i typed that , the error i got is cp:cannot create regular file /file/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/lib/ext/classes12.jar


no such file and dir

then try:

cp classes12.jar /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/lib/ext/

got the error cp:cannot create regular file '/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/lib/ext/classes12.jar :Permission denied

Sorry , i forgot to mention , that i have classes12.zip and classes12.jar at the home prod

you'll need to get your sys admin to copy them then.

Another alternative is to just specify them on your command line:

java -classpath classes12.jar;$CLASSPATH MyClass

Or add it to the CLASSPATH environemtn variable.

i don't mind using the second method.

When i run the program , i get this error:


Invalid Oracle URL specified.

Maybe in linux i need to type the url in a different way ??

String url="jdbc:oracle:thin@klmsph1:1521:KLMPMIS";

When i am working on my workstation(pc), i used the same url and it works.
try{

Class.forName("oracle.jadbc.driver.OracleDriver");
String url="jdbc:oracle:thin@klmsph11:1521:KLMPMIS";
String user="com";
String pass="com";

Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pass);

looks ok, does the linux box know about the host 'klmsph1'?

try:

ping klmsph1

The screen ran full with

64 bytes .... .klmsph1.m........
64 bytes......

try asking oracle tech support.

Thanks a lot , it works.

 God bless you.

God bless you.Thank you
