Re: Trouble with Oracle 8i (8.1.5) JDBC Driver

It sounds to me like you're using the
Oracle JDBC driver to access Oracle's
native OCI driver. Try using the thin
client driver. i.e. change the url
that you use in Driver.getConnection() to

jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:1521:<SID>

assuming your Oracle8i listener is
listening on port 1521.
