How to install new jdbc drivers?

[Peer Jones]

Hi There,

Sorry, probably a really silly question, but I haven't done this before:

I want to install new jdbc drivers in an Oracle 8.1.7.4. database on LINUX. They are contained in the classes12.zip file, located in $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib.

How do I get the old jdbc drivers (classes111.zip and/or classes111_g.zip) removed and replaced by the new ones? Do I use the Oracle Installer or what do I do?

Thanks
Peer

Hi,
If you have already downloaded the file, just rename the old one copy the new one to the correct location. If you are using any weblogic make sure you specifiy this in you CLASSPATH env variable.
