Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java API that enables Java programs to execute SQL statements, allowing Java programs to interact with any SQL-compliant database. JDBC is similar to ODBC, but is designed specifically for Java programs, wheras ODBC is language-independent.
The files which make up the jdbc driver are [ oracle _home]\ jdbc\lib\classes111.zip and [ oracle _home]\ jdbc\lib\ nls_charset11.zip. Add these files to your class path.
Go to Start –> Settings –> Control Panel –> System. Click on the “Advanced” tab and click on the “Environment Variables” button at the bottom of the page. In the “System variables” window at the bottom, select CLASSPATH.
Click the Edit Button, and add: C:\ oracle \ora92\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip;C:\ oracle \ora92\jdbc\lib\nls_charset11.zip to the Variable value field.
Restart your computer.
This section does not cover publishing locations or how to set up Dreamweaver connections.
