Hi,

I am running Oracle8.05 on Solaris2.6. I tried to connect the JDBC oci8 driver from a java application on another Solaris client to the Oracle database.

This is my connection String:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@204.999.999.999:9999:orcl", "system", "manager");

I got the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06401: NETCMN: invalid driver designator

at
oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.check_error(OCIDBAccess.java:1334)

        at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.logon(OCIDBAccess.java:181)

        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:91)
        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:134)
        at meme2oci8.main(meme2oci8.java:24)

I am able to connect to the database using thin driver with the same syntax. Anyone have ideas? Thanx.
