Oracle JDBC Driver with JDK 1.6

Hi,

if I'm developing a JDK 1.6 java program with an oracle database, do I have to use "ojdbc6.jar" regardless of the oracle database version? Is there just one "ojdbc6.jar" for the whole oracle database versions?

what's "ojdbc6_d.jar" for and how I can use it?

what is OracleDataStoreHelper, can I use Oracle11gDataStoreHelper with a lower version of oracle database?

Thanks in advance.

I think ojdbc6.jar is rather recent (I think even the latest) oracle jdbc driver - so you can use it (it doesn't matter much which jdk you are using). Oraxle drivers are very much downward compatibke therefire thuis one witll work with older versions of oracle - like oracle10, oracle9 or even oracle8.
Ojdbc6.jar is the only jar you would need to esrablish connection and do sql operations with oracle database. This jar should be on the classpath of your java application
