Oracle JDBC drivers are beta quality products. Oracle does not guarantee that they are of production quality or that all elements of their documented functionality work. Oracle has, however, tested these JDBC drivers extensively against Oracle7 and Oracle8 servers.

Oracle does not support these drivers through its worldwide support organization in any way. Users are encouraged to use these drivers and to report any problems they encounter by sending email to:
