Problem with conn to oracle

[Mahesh Pinnamaneni]

hai
i have a problem connecting to oracle 9i.
here is the code:-

import java.sql.*;
class TestThinApp {
public static void main (String args[])
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
{
Connection conn=null;
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
System.out.println("connection success");
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Inside class.forname ");
System.out.println(e);
}
try{
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc racle:thin:@10.10.20.10:1521:ero","mahesh","mahesh");
}catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println("Inside Drivermanager.getconn ");
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}

i am getting an error like:
Inside class.forname
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Inside Drivermanager.getconn
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver


plz solve this.
thanks and regards,
mahesh

Have u add the classpath of your Oracle JDBC driver, while compiling your application? :roll:

[somkiat puisungnoen]

set CLASSPATH.;location to jar file of oracle jdbc;%CLASSPATH%

Ko Ko,
He is facing a Exception during runtime, it is not a compile time problem.

Yes, But when program call Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

It's MUST find all library from CLASSPATH environment.

So, you should be configed CLASSPATH refer to oracle jdbc driver.

Well, Pradeep, as Somkiat mentioned above, even though it is not compile time problem, if Mahesh did not add the classpath, how can his application find the driver?

Since "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" is a String, it will be able to pass the compile time, but not the runtime...

Right, but your statement confused me.

thanks guys,
the CLASSPATH ultimately made my page work.
