Hi. The job is fairly simple, but you have to know the CLASSPATH or CLASSPATHs that are used where the JDBC driver is required.

In a typical classpath you will find the oracle driver file "ojdbc14.jar" or "classes12.zip" explicitly listed, depending on the vintage of the JVM you're using. The newer ones should use ojdbc14.jar.

Download the latest appropriate driver from Oracle, which may come as an installer that will put those files somewhere standard like you mention. If the CLASSPATHs refer to the files in that location, you're done. Otherwise you can copy the installed files to where they will be correctly referred to by the classpaths.

The latest driver is the 10G version. It is much faster than the 9.2 driver.
