I asked my local java export and his reply was that the driver was compiled with the later version of java that i need to install. I did install it in parallel to existing java and changed JAVA_HOME variable to point to new java directory. I also pre-pended PATH with path to java. Still, when i try to load the driver
>drv<-JDBC("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver","/pathtodriver/ojdbc6.jar", " ") Error in .jfindClass(as.character(driverClass)[1]) : java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file I am no Java expert, but it seems that new java is correctly installed, because when i do >java -version I get java version "1.6.0_23-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-ea-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode) which is the latest Java. Am i doing everything right to make sure that R uses the latest Java? Is there any way to check it? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/RJDBC-doesn-t-load-Oracle-driver-tp3058121p3060515.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
