Java connecting to Oracle via JDBC (HPUX)

[stephenwales]

I have inherited a java program that extracts data out of an Oracle 9i database and writes a flat file with some data.

I need to make a slight modification to the name of the view that it extracts data from so we can perform some testing.

Unfortunately, I know jack about Java.

I'm thinking there might be something in the environment missing on the Test server. When I try to compile the program, I get the following error:

# javac getScaleAcid.java
getScaleAcid.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class OracleDriver  
location: package driver
        DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
                                                           ^
1 error
sag[5079] test2 /usr/SAG/wrk/epic
#

Anyone able to point me in the direction of what I can look for to see if I'm missing something from my Oracle installation?
