This section describes how to download and install Oracle JDBC thin client-side driver.

Among 4 different Oracle JDBC drivers offered by Oracle, JDBC Thin client-side driver is the simplest one to install and to use. Here is what I did to download and install it on my Windows system:

Go to JDBC, SQLJ, and Oracle JPublisher page.
Click on the link "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3), (10.2.0.2), (10.2.0.1.0) drivers", because my version of Oracle server is "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition 10.2.0.1.0".
Check the radio button next to "Accept License Agreement".
Click on the link "ojdbc14.jar (1,545,954 bytes)" next to "classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5." I picked up this version because I want use JDK 1.5. The other versions support tracing information or DMS (Dynamic Monitoring Service). I do not need any of them now.
The download process requires you to register and get a login name. Just do it by following the instructions.
Save the download file, ojdbc14.jar, to \local\lib directory.
