For all platforms:
[ORACLE_HOME]/jdbc/lib contains:
- ojdbc5.jar
Classes for use with JDK 1.5. It contains the JDBC driver
classes, except classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and
Collection types.
- ojdbc5_g.jar
Same as ojdbc5.jar, except that classes were compiled with
"javac -g" and contain tracing code.
- ojdbc5dms.jar
Same as ojdbc5.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to
support DMS and limited java.util.logging calls.
- ojdbc5dms_g.jar
Same as ojdbc5_g.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to
support DMS.
- ojdbc6.jar
Classes for use with JDK 1.6. It contains the JDBC driver classes
except classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and Collection
types.
- ojdbc6_g.jar
Same as ojdbc6.jar except compiled with "javac -g" and contains
tracing code.
- ojdbc6dms.jar
Same as ojdbc6.jar, except that it contains instrumentation to
support DMS and limited java.util.logging calls.
- ojdbc6dms_g.jar
Same as ojdbc6_g.jar except that it contains instrumentation to
support DMS.
Note: The dms versions of the jar files are the same as
standard jar files, except that they contain additional code
to support Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service. They contain a
limited amount of tracing code. These can only be used
when dms.jar is in the classpath. dms.jar is provided as part of
Oracle Application Server releases. As a result the dms versions
of the jar files can only be used in an Oracle Application Server
environment.
[ORACLE_HOME]/jdbc/doc/javadoc.tar contains the JDBC Javadoc
for the public API of the public classes of Oracle JDBC. This
JavaDoc is the primary reference for Oracle JDBC API extensions. The
Oracle JDBC Development Guide contains high level discussion of
Oracle extensions. The details are in this JavaDoc. The JavaDoc is
every bit as authorative as the Dev Guide.
[ORACLE_HOME]/jdbc/demo/demo.tar contains sample JDBC programs.
[ORACLE_HOME]/jlib/orai18n.jar
NLS classes for use with JDK 1.5, and 1.6. It contains
classes for NLS support in Oracle Object and Collection types.
This jar file replaces the old nls_charset jar/zip files. In
Oracle 10g R1 it was duplicated in [ORACLE_HOME]/jdbc/lib. We
have removed the duplicate copy and you should now get it from
its proper location.
For the Windows platform:
[ORACLE_HOME]\bin directory contains ocijdbc11.dll and
heteroxa11.dll, which are the libraries used by the JDBC OCI
driver.
For non-Windows platforms:
[ORACLE_HOME]/lib directory contains libocijdbc11.so,
libocijdbc11_g.so, libheteroxa11.so and libheteroxa11_g.so, which
are the shared libraries used by the JDBC OCI driver.
