Answer 1

To make your life easier, I would recommend just using Oracle's Thin Driver.

First, download the driver from Oracle's site:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html

Then add JAR to your project and connect to database using:

Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
        ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl", "scott", "tiger");

Of course, replace these parameters with the ones corresponding to your DB.
