Having successfully used the MySql driver, which is a jar in an eclipse project I have now turned my attention to connecting to an Oracle DB. The DB is 9.2 and so far I think that the driver I need is
ojdbc14.jar
however - I can only find
ojdbc14.zip
and I'm struggling to get things moving so two questions -
1. Is ojdbc14.jar the correct driver? And if so,
2. Where can I get it (for definate)?
Regards
Damien
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
But that link points at the zip file that I already have and am struggling with :-(
Unless of course there is something I could do with the zip to turn it into a jar. I looked inside and it does contain the correct stuff. Can I turn it into a jar myself? (I've actually tried this myself and got a jar file but eclipse didn't seem to like it)...

Renaming it has solved my problems; if I was a whinger, and of course I am not (*ahem*) then I wonder why there is a need to 'promote' this kind of confusion - of course I could be the only person _EVER_ to be confused by it!

That is the correct jar.
You can find it here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/distlic.html?/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc9201.html
You probably have to select the 'yes' checkbox and click accept to get to the page containing the drivers.

JARs are zips. (-; Try to use the zip file or rename it.
Thanks
