How do I configure Oracle 9i with WebSphere 4.01??

[Rilescat]

Hello,

I have been using DB2 with WebSphere for some time, and now need to swap over to Oracle 9i. I know that IBM does not support Orale 9i (they do support 8i, I could use those instructions if anyone has them), but, of course, I need to figure out how to connect them anyway.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Have you check out technet.oracle.com? It's free to join, and you can view all the documentation on-line.

I'm sure WebSphere has documentation on how to install a JDBC driver and set up data sources.

It doesn't have much to do with Oracle Technet except that you need to get the Oracle Thin Net drivers, and also determine the driver class (oracle.jdbc.Driver) and the connection URL (i.e. jdbc: oracle:thinlocalhost:1521: oracle8i).

Edit: Damn smileys screwed up the connection URL. Remove the extra spaces I added.
