Hi,
I'm trying to figure out which driver I should use in a production environment, to configure my connection pool.
Either connecting to Oracle9i via a type-2 or a type-4 driver.
I know in the past OCI drivers were much more performant, but I have heard it is not true anymore.
Any experience to share ?
Thanks,
Val�ry

In production we only use OCI. I think this is something to do with the oracle encryption plugin.
I would imagine firewall/dmz issues take precedent over performance for most people.

In 8i the thin drivers had limited support for failover, and for dealing with some multibyte character translations. So I've only used the OCI drivers.

We only use the thin drivers here. If you want to learn about performance comparison between the two, read Chapter 19 of Java Programming with Oracle JDBC by Donald Bales.
There is a lot of discussion on this on the web if you want to look:
search on "Oracle thin vs OCI JDBC driver" at www.google.com and you'll get some worthy discussions.
