This is my first attempt to connect to an Oracle DB (10g) using JDBC. I have JDK 6 installed on my machine and trying to connect to an Oracle DB on a server. I have downloaded ojdbc6.jar and copied it to C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib.
I have also set the following CLASS PATH:
.;
C:\;
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar;
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\jlib\orai18n.jar;
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
The following code gets compiled, however when I try to run the class file, it throws an error
C:\>java JDBCVersion
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

I save my .java files in C:\ to compile and run from this directory.
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
class JDBCVersion
{
public static void main (String args[]) throws SQLException{
try{
Connection con=null;
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@HOSTNAME:1521:MYORADB",
"SCOTT",
"TIGER");
Statement s=con.createStatement();
s.execute("SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE");
s.close();
con.close();
} catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
@dardo...I added the .jar file directly in the CLASSPATH and it compiled but when I run the class file I get the following error message
C:\>java JDBCVersion
