What is the difference between ojdbc6.jar and ojdbc7.jar?

Question

Will ojdbc6.jar work for JDK 1.7 and Oracle 12c? Should I use ojdbc7.jar?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

For completeness, note that the number in the filename is NOT the version number of the driver and ojdbc6.jar version 12.x has a weird difference respect ojdbc6.jar version 11.x: newer versions do not truncate or set to "00:00:00" the time component when called with setDate and getDate methods, so you should pay attention to the version number too (you can find it in the manifest as "Implementation-Version"). See this post for more details.
