How to connect to the database through a java application running in a client machine without a DSN. I mean can we access to a database in the server like we access through servlets. I am using the following strings String url = "jdbc racle:thin:@SERVER's IP ADDRESS:PORT:SERVICE_NAME"; Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance(); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "mis", "mis"); But I am getting the following Exception oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver I am using same Strings and driver to access the database through servlets and its working properly. Its very urgent. If any one can help me, Please. Regards Mahua [This message has been edited by Mahua Dutta (edited September 22, 2001).]

HI, Try this instead of the ClassforName() technique: DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()); its from the Oracle docs. Hope that helps, Terry
