What is thin driver and thick driver. why it is called so?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Both these drivers are used to connect your java program to
database(oracle).
Thin drivers (comes under type 4 drivers) are completely
written in java.You can connect to oracle without oracle
client installed on ur pc.
Thick drivers(comes under type 1 or i think 2,3 also)are not
written completely in java.You need oracle client(like odbc
driver,jdbc-odbc bridge drivers etc)for communication
between java program and oracle.
As thin driver's implementation is smaller as compared to
thick drivers,so they are are called as such i think.
