Oracle ODBC Driver Configuration in Windows XP
To start doing JDBC programs in your local machines you should configure the following softwares:1. Install Java 1.5 or higher version
2. Install Oracle XE (recommended)
3. Set up classpaths for Java and Oracle and ojdbc14 jar file
These three are common things need to be installed in your system to learn JDBC. Make sure Java and Oracle is working fine with out any problems. To run JDBC programs we should configure a Driver Connection to Java and Oracle to interact each other. For that we have Drivers like a bridge for these two. The Oracle ODBC Driver provides access to Oracle databases for applications written using the ODBC interface.
