RE: Any experiences with JDBC?

I use JDBC, and I like it a lot. There is an OCI driver, which uses JNI to map the JDBC API to OCI. The bottleneck is how fast Oracle can commit transactions, not how fast JDBC can send them (YMMV). It is much either to work with than either OCI or ODBC. The API includes prepared statements, which is like using bind variables, it has a streams interface to CLOBs, which makes them as easy to manipulate as files. There's a "thin" driver also, which ships the JDBC drivers over the network as you need them, if they aren't installed on the client. About the only thing I don't like about JDBC is the way it handles dates and times.

We're thinking of moving our Java application away from proprietary connectivity to Oracle to using JDBC. The application will eventually be
deployed to hundreds of client workstations. Anyone using JDBC care to comment on their experiences or what we need to know at the planning stage? We're interested (of course!) in stability, reliability and performance.

Many thanks for any insights!

Thanks
