Three Oracle Packages
oracle.jdbc
Beginning in Oracle 9i, the Oracle extensions to JDBC are captured in the package oracle.jdbc, which contains classes and interfaces that specify the Oracle extensions in a manner similar to the way the classes and interfaces in java.sql specify the public JDBC API.
Your code should use the package oracle.jdbc instead of the package oracle.jdbc.driver used in earlier versions of Oracle.
By converting your code to use oracle.jdbc, you will be able to take advantage of future enhancements that use different implementation classes.
oracle.sql
A package of classes that represent Java SQL types and Oracle specific SQL types.
Its classes include:
| Class |
