Hello all,

Running Oracle 8.1.6 on SUSE7 ( from the book "Oracle 8i for LINUX Starter Kit" but it looks
identical to that dstributed by Oracle). I would like to test java but the book says "should have jdk 1.1.6 installed and configured".

My questions would be:

Has someone had successfuly modified oracle jdbc classes for lunux - classes111.zip or classes12.zip (last should exist for other platforms) so that they can be used with one of JDKs that are preinstalled in SUSE7 ( 1.1.8, 1.2, 1.3 )?
(in case that it is the only option :) Has anybody installed JDK 1.1.6 from adviced in the book www.blackdown.org? Are preinstalled jdks stay preserved in this case? What else is actually modified on linux with jdk1.1.6 installation?

Any information on installing and running java with oracle8.1.6 on linux would be appreciated.

Thank you ahead.

Sergei

if you still read :)

I've tried to compile sample code for jdbc access to oracle8i using existing 1.2 compiler it went without
a message but at runtime got this error:

Connecting ... Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

also tried to compile with existing 1.1.8 compiler:

DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
