Re: Oracle 8.1.6 JDBC drivers with Oracle 8.1.5 ?

You need to install the Oracle 8.1.6 client to get JDBC access to an Oracle database using jdk 1.2.x.

If you are using jdk 1.1.x, then you use classes111.zip, and this can be from Oracle 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 client.

As J.T.Wenting said, you need 8.1.6 to access Java2.

When you install the appropriate client, it installs the appropriate libraries it needs (well it did here on our NT machine).

We are using NT client/server, and have found that OCI works fine with the 8.1.6 client, in jdk 1.2.2 environment talking to an 8.0.4 database (all on the same machine). It also talks to 8.0.4 databases running on unix using OCI.
