Hi friends
i have dell inspiron laptop with i3 core processor..having Oracle 10g as database.
i could n't run JDBC programs in my lapy. so many ppl spoke to me that dell lapy doesn't support type1 driver.. So i tried for third party type 4 drivers(OJDBC14.JAR) it is also not working.
please help me to run those programs. and am ready to change my database to MySQL or anything..

A short, practical follow-up to the problem reported by and the suggestion from : the laptop brand is almost never the cause of JDBC failures. Most JDBC startup problems on Windows 7 come from JVM/driver mismatches, classpath problems, wrong connection strings, or database listener/network issues. Switching database engines (for example to MySQL) is a valid option, but the same basic checks apply.

Checklist to diagnose and fix JDBC startup failures

  • Confirm the runtime: run java -version and ensure the JDBC driver chosen is compatible with that JVM major version.
  • Match architectures: a 64-bit JVM needs 64-bit native libraries (if used) and drivers compiled for that JVM; mixing 32-bit and 64-bit components causes classloading or native errors.
  • Put the driver JAR on the application runtime classpath (IDE project libraries, servlet container lib folder, or the -cp used when launching the app).
  • Use a pure-Java (Type 4) driver when possible to avoid native dependencies. For databases that still use native clients, ensure the client is installed and the DB listener is running.
  • Verify the connection endpoint: test network reachability (telnet host port or equivalent) and confirm the database service/SID and port. Windows firewall or an inactive listener are common blockers.
  • Check runtime logs and Java exceptions for the real cause: ClassNotFoundException means the driver JAR is missing; SQLException with a network message points to connectivity or listener problems.

Minimal test pattern (conceptual)

Class.forName("com.example.Driver"); 
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:dbtype://host:port/service", "user", "pass");

Summary: focus on JVM/driver/version/classpath and network/listener checks first. Switching to another DB is optional; solving the configuration issues above will get JDBC running on Windows 7 regardless of hardware.

I am not sure if I understand you, but if I understood you correctly, then my advice is move on to MySQL, and be sure that it's very easy to connect to it with Java. you have a working class ready in a couple of recent threads here in Java forums. if that's the route you chose to take, then I assure you will very fast be able to interact with MySQL with Java.

I used to have a dell inspiron 2650 laptop, an old one, running xp, and mysql worked on it perfectly. I don't see why wouldn't MySQL run on a machine :) I guess the best way to verify though is to try and install it.

why don't you just bring your laptop over, and I'll do everything for you... I'm in Kosovo :)
come on man, just install it, I'm sure it will work in Windows 7 or whichever version you happen to have. try installing it, if it does not, look for instructions on specific problems you encounter.
