Hi,

I'm new to JDBC and Oracle. I'm trying to access an Oracle8.1.6 server (NT) from another NT box by using jdbc-thin.

First, registered the driver, which looked OK: DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());

Then, tried to connect to the database server, using Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(

		  "jdbc:oracle:thin://42.221.200.200:1521/dw1",


	          "username",

	          "userID");

here, "dw1" is my database name. This failed.

Can anybody tell me, what's wrong with my code?

By the way, if I want to load db driver (thin) from method Class.forName(String s), what s will look like.

I greatly appreciate all the answers/suggestions. Thanks.
