What's the difference between ojdbc6.jar and ojdbc16.jar
ojdbc, oracle
Solution
My guess is that they are simply different versions of `ojdbc6.jar` (Oracle JDBC drivers compiled for Java 6). The file sizes on Oracle's site suggests that this may be the case (they are close).
I'm guessing someone was used to using the `ojdbc14`/`ojdbc15` jars and renamed the jar for consistency-sake?
I'm thinking your `ojdbc6.jar` is the 11.2.0.3 version, and the `ojdbc16.jar` is the 11.2.0.2.0 (close file sizes).
You should be able to confirm this by looking in the jars' manifest files (they should have the version information).
Problem
I have two oracle driver file. ojdbc6.jar (2,713,510 byte) and ojdbc16.jar(2,111,338 byte) What are they different? when I googled, some people say to use ojdbc6.jar. the other say use ojdbc16.jar Even file size are slightly different so, I guess one is newer version. Does someone know about this? Thank you
