Connect to Oracle Database using ASP without changes to Server

Hello,

I want to connect to an Oracle Database from my Classic ASP page, however I can't install drivers or make any changes on the web server. Is this still possible? Can you provide a short connection example?

Thanks!

The only way I know of to connect to an Oracle database without a driver installed is JDBC Thin.

My classic ASP memories are really old but I don't remember a way to connect using JDBC.

Hi can you provide a site for JDBC Thin download and install instructions?

slightwv (䄆 Netminder)

There is no download. A download sort of implies something to install.

Google around for jdbc thin connections. I don't think it will work with VBScript but you never know.

This is not helping me... I have no idea where to start

The odds are there is no answer to your question. I gave you the only possible clientless connection the I know of.

I also don't think that it will work with classic ASP.

Jdbc thin is a java connection string. There isn't anything else to it. It either connects to the database, or it doesn't.

OK, thanks. I wonder someone can offer the simplest solution to this in, i.e. what method would require the least web server changes?
