The Oracle JDBC drivers allow Java applications to connect and process data in the Oracle Database. These are fully compliant with the latest JDBC specifications which defines the standard java.sql interfaces.
Type 4 and type 2 drivers The Oracle database furnishes a type 4 driver a.k.a. JDBC-Thin and a type 2 driver a.k.a. JDBC-OCI however, JDBC-Thin is the most used and recommended driver type. Java applications simply need to have ojdbc8.jar (for JDK/JRE 8) in their classpath.
Autonomous Database services The JDBC Thin driver allows connecting to the Autonomous Database services of the Oracle Cloud: Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous JSON Database, and Autonomous Transaction Processing. Please refer to Java connectivity to Database Service on Cloud for detailed instructions.
