The sm*.jar files are effectively Sun-branded/licensed versions of
DataDirect's JDBC drivers. The "limited" is simply the fact that those
JDBC driver/database combinations have not been tested by Sun, as its
impossible to test all combinations of driver/database without
excessive delays to the QA/release process. One thing to be aware of
with the Oracle drivers is that they are not Java EE compliant out of
the box, you will need to define a java system property
oracle.jdbc.J2EE13Compliant=true to change the behaviour of the drivers
(yes the naming of the property implies its for J2EE 1.3, but its
needed for J2EE 1.4, Java EE 5 and 6 even in the latest 11g drivers).

OK - I found them included in the GF 2.1.1 Enterprise
Server with HADB support. So my only question really is what's the
difference between those drivers and the oracle thin ojdbc drivers?
Thanks.

The
documentation for GF 2.1.1 [1] references smbase.jar, smoracle.jar,
and smutil.jar as
the required driver JARs to install for Oracle support as opposed to
the thin driver (ojdbc[4-6]) which are listed in the 'limted' support
section. Where can I get these? How are they different from the
'limited' support thin client drivers? Thanks.
