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.

Gang of Four Design Patterns

Gang of Four(GOF) Design Patterns are divided in to 3 categories. Creational Design Patterns ( 5 Patterns ) AbstractFactory Builder Method Factory Method Prototype Singleton Singleton pattern is used when there is only one instance of the object need to be created per JVM instance. This pattern is used internally by the Connection Pooling to create the objects only on demand. Structural Design Patterns ( 7 Patterns ) Adapter Bridge Pattern Composite Pattern Decorator Pattern Facade FlyWeight FlyWeight Pattern is used when there are a large number of objects to be created, and they need to be created efficiently. This pattern is used by many frame works to create the objects using configuration. Proxy Behavioral Design Patterns ( 11 Patterns ) Chain Of Responsibility Pattern Command Interpreter Iterator Mediator Memento Memento is used internally by Text Editor Applications, where ctr+Z or cmd+Z operations are used to remember the snap shot of the data. State State Design Pattern is use...
