JDBC- ORACLE

[praveen p kumar]

Hi All,
I am getting below exception while trying to connect ORACLE database using jdbc racle:thin driver:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adap
ter could not establish the connection
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:114)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:156)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:269)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:210)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.getConnectionInstance(OracleDriver.ja
va:251)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:224)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Compiled Code)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137)
at Employee1.main(Compiled Code)

If anyone can give me reason for the above exception. It would be a great help to me.
TIA

Make sure your oracle driver is in your CLASSPATH.
Both classes111.zip & classes12.zip work with the following example.
<code>
import java.sql.*;
public class Join {
public static void main(String args[]) {

String url = "jdbcracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:sid";
Connection con;
String query = "select SUPPLIERS.SUP_NAME, COFFEES.COF_NAME " +
"from COFFEES, SUPPLIERS " +
"where SUPPLIERS.SUP_NAME like 'Acme, Inc.' and " +
"SUPPLIERS.SUP_ID = COFFEES.SUP_ID";
Statement stmt;

try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
}

catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}

try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection (url, "userid", "password");
stmt = con.createStatement();

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
System.out.println("Supplier, Coffee:");
while (rs.next()) {
String supName = rs.getString(1);
String cofName = rs.getString(2);
System.out.println(" " + supName + ", " + cofName);
}
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.print("SQLException: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
</code>
Hope this helps...
