Hello,
we just upgraded to 7.1.1 since we need an update to the ojdbc-driver[1]
After installing 7.1.1 I searched the /home/oracle-directory and found this:
-bash-4.1$ find . -name ojdbc?.jar
./database/lib/ojdbc8.jar
./instantclient_12_1/ojdbc7.jar
./instantclient_12_1/ojdbc6.jar
./deploy/oracle/ojdbc7.jar
./deploy/oracle/ojdbc8.jar
./wildfly-10.1.0.Final/modules/com/oracle/main/ojdbc8.jar
./wildfly-10.1.0.Final/standalone/tmp/vfs/deployment/deployment39d737eef94697ed/ojdbc8.jar-23e1826d171d4c64/ojdbc8.jar
Why doesn't the instantclient contain an updated driver? When is it used?
Can we just remove ALL the old ojdbc-drivers and drop the ojdbc8-driver into the instantclient directory?
TIA
Markus
[1] Our DBA team want to have a more secure DB and changed a setting:
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER from optional to required.
This is not supported (or a bug) in the ojdbc7-driver. It caused all kinds of weird errors. So the DBA-team had to down-grade the security setting again.
That should work as well. You should unzip that to the same directory name as we may be looking specifically for that name.
