Hmm.. .JDBC Thin is just a REGULAR implementation of the JDBC API that happens to be written in ALL JAVA. So, any examples of JDBC in applets would work. The specific information relating to Oracle connections can be found in the JDBC.HTML file located in the DOCS subdirectory of where you installed the JDBC drivers that your downloaded from Oracle. ALSO, the Oracle
JDBC drivers include example programs. If your jdbc drivers do NOT have the HTML file (release notes, and errata) then download drivers again from Oracle's
web site (www.oracle.com) and follow the links to download then free software.

For more information on JDBC as an API, I'd suggest 1) go to http://java.sun.com/jdbc
2) get a book on JDBC (i.e. Teach yourself JDBC in 21 days, etc...)

Applets have security restrictions on the host that then can connect to unless
you sign your applet, for information on this, reference.

1. the JDBC.HTML file in the JDBC driver kit from Oracle (www.oracle.com)
2. http://developer.netscape.com (for information on signed applets and general browser security restrictions using Netscape Navigator)
3. http://www.microsoft.com/java or /ie for the same information as above relating to Internet Explorer 3.x and 4.x

Must I work with Oracle's web server ?

No, any web browser would work (JDBC is client side only when ran through an applet)

This should be enough to make you dangerous.
