I am trying to find out whether there are any known bugs
with Oracle's JDBC drivers that I need to be on the lookout
for. I am going to be using Java VM 1.4.2.02 on Slolaris 9,
connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.

Thanks -

Oracle, as well as many other dbms, do not support the metadata
methods of jdbc. I think this is the only known bug they don't intend
to fix.

If you install the Oracle client software, or the Oracle database
software, you should find in the $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc directory a
Readme.txt file: in this file there is a section named "Known
Problems/Limitations In This Release" that you may find helpful.

Additionally, if you have access to the Metalink site, you could search
for all the known bugs logged against the JDBC driver release you're using.

Hope this helps
