hi guys,
I'm a new member. By the way, I had an error that showed up on my jdbc program that connected to oracle. It showed 'java.sql.SqlException'. When I looked up on it in a book called Oracle8i Complete Reference, it told me that I could set my environment variables and test run my jdbc connection with a program that was there when Oracle is installed. It was called JdbcCheckup.java. Now its compiling all fine and dandy, but this run time error keeps popping up called java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError. Can someone help this fair lady in distress?

E:\Oracle\Ora81\jdbc\demo\samples\oci8\basic-samples>javac JdbcCheckup.java

E:\Oracle\Ora81\jdbc\demo\samples\oci8\basic-samples>java JdbcCheckup
