I'm working with Horton's beginning java book, and can do the examples with Access, but I want to try with oracle. I downloaded the driver from oracle, a zip with about 40 separate files. I am a bit overwhelmed, and just want to repeat what I did with the access database from the Ivor Horton beginning Java book. That was easy b/c the odbc driver is built in. Can anyone direct me in the best(simplest) way to install the driver(s). I've heard that it is pretty difficult. Thanks in advance.

It's not really that difficult. I don't have much experience connecting to an Oracle DB, but it should be the same. Just stick the downloaded JDBC driver file (I think it's .zip) into your classpath and then you can start using it!

You have to point your classpath to the oracle driver classes, I�ve put some code samples about how to get a connection from oracle at: http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001514.html take a look if you need.
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
