## OCI Oracle Type 2 Driver for Oracle 8.1.7 and 9.x Databases

The JAR file for the OCI Oracle driver is `ojdbc14.jar`. Make sure that the shared library is available through LD_LIBRARY_PATH and that the ORACLE_HOME property is set. Configure the connection pool using the following settings:

- Name: Use this name when you configure the JDBC resource later.

- Resource Type: Specify the appropriate value.

- Database Vendor: `Oracle`

- DataSource Classname:Specify one of the following:

      oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
      oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource

- Properties:

  - `user` - Set as appropriate.

  - `password` - Set as appropriate.

  - `URL` - Specify the complete database URL using the following syntax:

        jdbc:oracle:oci:[user/password]@host[:port]/service

    For example:

        jdbc:oracle:oci:@localhost:1521:customer_db

  - `xa-driver-does-not-support-non-tx-operations` - Set to the value `true`. Optional: only needed if both non-XA and XA connections are retrieved from the same connection pool. Might degrade performance.

    As an alternative to setting this property, you can create two connection pools, one for non-XA connections and one for XA connections.
