SQL Developer 2.1.1 : JDBC/ODBC Bridge
848625Mar 18 2011 — edited Mar 19 2011Hi, I am running SQL Developer 2.1.1 and would like to to access databases other than those formally supported.
I am happy to use the JDBC/ODBC Bridge - although additional JDBC connectivity would be ideal, I gather that it is not supported.
Googling, and searching on this forum, implies that I should install the appropriate JDBC driver for the Bridge, list it on the third party JDBC drivers Preferences page, and that a 'Create Connection' dialog JDBC tab would then appear on restarting SQL Developer, as happens when you install the supported MySQL JDBC driver, for example.
I am sorry to be dim, but I cannot track down a jar file containing the JDBC/ODBC Bridge that is supported by SQL Developer to the extent of enabling the JDBC tab. The rt.jar shipped in SQL Developer's JRE does not do the job. Checking for updates from the Help menu lists nothing that looks even remotely relevant. Where should I be looking?
Thanks a lot
Mandy Shaw
