Oracle database connection
From MWCSWiki
- login by sqlplus (username)/(password) at the command line
- create a database. (just like mysql for the most part)
- exit sqlplus
- make sure lsnrctl is running. (located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin)
- include the classes12.jar file in classpath (located in $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib)
- in jdbc, connect to oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
- the url for a oracle database is: dbc:oracle:thin:@(url):(oracle listening port, usally 1521):(oracle SID)","(username)","(password)"
