Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Cramton, James" <>]

Thanks for the info, Kathryn. 

For independent reasons, we'll probably switch to 10g anyway, but I'm
still running into a class not found error while looking for the
oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver class, despite having the ojdbc14.jar set in
the classpath. I wouldn't think this would be impacted by our platform
choice--running on RHE Linux, but that may be a factor. We should have
10g installed shortly, so it may be a non-issue for us.

I should add that we're using Oracle 9i. -K
