You can get the OCI drivers from technet.oracle.com or from the CD. On the CD installation, make sure to select them, they are not selected by default. In technet, go to http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/ and click on Software to get to the downloads. For OCI, you will need to install the Net8 stuff on the client as well, but that's all that is necessary from the Oracle Client software. And YES, using OCI with the connection pooling is much faster than JDBC. You can do the connection pooling with JDBC as well, but OCI is still much faster, so it's worth it.

Good luck!

Where can I download the OCI drivers from ?I need the drivers for Unix and NT.

Should I install the Oracle client to install the oci drivers.?

I was told that OCI drivers with JDBC connection pooling helps to improve the performance.

Can pls anyone comment or contirubute their experience on this topic.

thanks

Ravindra
