Before you use the Product, the JDBC application or Java code that you are using to connect to your data must be able to access the connector JAR file. In the application or code, specify the appropriate fat JAR file for the JDBC version that you are using.
Using the Connector in a JDBC Application
Most JDBC applications provide a set of configuration options for adding a list of connector library files. Use the provided options to include all the JAR files from the ZIP archive as part of the connector configuration in the application. For more information, see the documentation for your JDBC application.

Using the Connector in Java Code
You must include all the connector library files in the class path. This is the path that the Java Runtime Environment searches for classes and other resource files. For more information, see "Setting the Class Path" in the appropriate Java SE Documentation.
Note:
Support for Java 7.0 has been deprecated, and will be removed in the future release of this connector. For more information, see the release notes.
