You need the *Thick* or JDBC OCI Driver...meaning SQL*Net (aka Oracle Client) installed on your app/java servers. Further, even if you do this, use the OCI Driver, in the many hours I spent researching, configuring, testing,8i/9i TAF I found the very few, I mean very few, apps that can take advantage of it, not even Oracle Forms...at the time was only SQL*Plus :0| TAF is very cool I was able to make session failover automaticaly, but for 8i/9i (don't know about 10g) not much use. hth Chris Marquez Oracle DBA -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@freelists.org on behalf of Wiegand, Jeff Sent: Mon 5/23/2005 6:27 PM To: oracle-l@freelists.org Subject: TAF AND connect time failover with RAC using JDBC thin driver on 9205 Howdy, Does anyone know if there is a solution to using the JDBC thin driver for TAF prior to 10g? Our vendor is complaining about RAC, although they said they were "certified" when they marketed their product to us. We are apparently stuck using OCI. I know we can do connect-time failover, but what about TAF? Jeff -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
