Oracle Java Database Connectivity

Download a copy of the Oracle Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) code library from Oracle's web site at www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads. Scroll down to [Drivers]. The file you download can be for the latest release of Oracle database (11g) and must be suitable for JDK 1.5 or later. Note, however, that you should not use JDBC drivers that are later than the JDK you are using (e.g., do not use ojdbc6.jar with JDK 1.5). So you will download ojdbc5.jar, or ojdbc6.jar if you are using JDK 1.6 or later.
