    Hi,

    currently I am running the Oracle 9 DB on a w2003 server machine and Compiere server on the same. I would like to run Compiere on my linux (SuSE) but there seems to be no JDBC driver around. Can anyone help?

      en, I think JBDC driver is os independent, at least it's ok on windows and most linux.
      what's the problem on your linux? Have u installed JDK?

      Shure, JDBC architecture is os independant (coding) but there are 4 types of drivers:
      1. JDBC-ODBC-bridge, not pure java, over ODBC-Manager
      2. Native API, not pure java, directly
      3. JDBC-net, pure java, via middleware
      4. native network protocol, pure java, directly

      On windows systems there must be a certain *.dll in the java.library.path for DB connection to oracle which comes with the oracle distribution for win. But for the linux version I could not find a *.so.
      I know that there is a thin driver for oracle 8 which is a type 4 driver but I have not tried it yet on compiere due to the fact that this thin driver is working with o8 pers. edition.
      Any experiences?
