Database Drivers and JDK specifications

On different oracle jdbc bundles. Must read:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.html#02_07
Why couldnt I understand the naming convention of jars before:

ojdbc6.jar - All the classes to support basic functionality for the Thin and OCI drivers when using JDK 1.6 (JSE 6)
ojdbc5.jar - All the classes to support basic functionality for the Thin and OCI drivers when using JDK 1.5 (JSE 5)
classes12.jar - Classes for the Thin and OCI drivers when using a Java 1.2 or 1.3 VM.
ojdbc14.jar - Same as classes12.jar except for use with Java 1.4 VMs

More dependencies for OCI:
libocijdbc.so (Solaris)Native library for the JDBC OCI driver.

* for JDBC 8.x.x drivers, the is 8
* for JDBC 9.x.x drivers, the is 9
* for JDBC 10.x.x drivers, the is 10
* for JDBC 11.x.x drivers, the is 11

This file should be locatable via your LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting.

ocijdbc.dll (Windows)Similar to above, except on Windows platforms. This file should be locatable via your %PATH% setting.

HashMap in Java

1) Implement HashMap in Java, with the put and get operations   HashMap can be implemented in Java Using Arrays. Use the same logic that the Out of the Box   HashMap follows, for resizing, and load factor, when ever the HashMap reaches the size of the   resize with the load factor a new Array is created, and the previous array contents are copied over   to the new Array.  HashMap is Not Synchronized by default. We can synchronize the whole map by using Synchronization, or by using collection.synchronizedmap(map), which synchronizes all the operations on the map. Alternatively We can use the CocurrentHashMap which does not lock the read operations, rather locks the segments that are being written. 2) HashMap vs LinkedHashMap vs IdentityHashMap 3) HashMap vs ConcurrentHashMap 4) Implement a Cache using LinkedHashMap
