Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: WebLogic, Oracle JDBC related
Tim,
I really do not know why JDBC 'thin' was used.
They have a couple of App. Servers connecting to a cluster (HACMP) of four database servers. Using OCI driver is in the Vendor's plan (in the next release ;)
I will let our DBA team know about the quirks with 'thin' driver.
Thanks.

Kirti,
Taking another tack...
Why would they want to use JDBC Thin? Typically, the "thin" driver is intended for environments where the "Oracle Client" is not expected to be installed (i.e. applets on the browser) and the JDBC "OCI" driver for environments where the "Oracle Client" is expected to be installed (i.e. servlets on the app server).
JDBC Thin has some nasty quirks beyond not populating V$SESSION properly. For example, if a database object or a cursor should go invalid for any reason, a "thin" driver cannot handle the problem as an "OCI" driver can...
Just some food for thought...
