• WebLogic Platform Support for Oracle RAC

Databases Supporting WebLogic Platform

The following table lists the types of databases and drivers supported for use with WebLogic Platform.

Table 3-1 Database Types and Drivers Supported by WebLogic Platform

Database Type	JDBC Driver	Notes
DB2 8.2 FixPak2 (equivalent to 8.1 FixPak 9) and later FixPaks	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC DB2 Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC DB2 Driver
DB2 9.1 and later FixPaks	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC DB2 Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC DB2 Driver
MySQL 5	Connect/J	Not supported for WLI. No XA support available.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3+	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC SQL Server Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC SQL Server Driver	SQL Server 2000 is supported only on Microsoft operating systems.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC SQL Server Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC SQL Server Driver	SQL Server 2005 is supported only on Microsoft operating systems.
Sybase 15.0.x and later patch levels of 15.0.x	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Sybase Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC Sybase Driver
Sybase 12.5.03 and later patch levels of 12.5.x	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Sybase Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC Sybase Driver
PointBase 5.1	PointBase Type 4 Driver	PointBase Server is an all-Java DBMS product included in the WebLogic Server distribution solely for evaluation purposes, either in the form of custom trial applications or through packaged sample applications provided with WebLogic Server. Non-evaluation development or other use of the PointBase Server requires that a separate PointBase Server license be obtained by the end user directly from DataMirror. BEA evaluation license limits the size of the PointBase database to 30MB.
Oracle 9.2.0.4 and later patch sets of 9.2.x	BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Oracle Driver BEA WebLogic Type 4 XA JDBC Oracle Driver Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin/XA Driver 10g
Oracle 10gR1 (Oracle 10.1.0.4 and later patch sets of 10.1.x)	Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin Driver 11g	Not supported by WebLogic Portal.
Oracle 10gR2 (Oracle 10.2.0.1 and later patch sets of 10.2.x)	Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin Driver 11g
Oracle 11gR1 (Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 and later patch sets of 11.1.x)	Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin Driver 11g

WebLogic Platform Support for Oracle RAC

Automatic database connection failover and load balancing with global transactions (XA) in a highly-available (HA) DBMS architecture is supported with the following Oracle RAC versions and drivers:

Table 3-2 Database Types and Drivers Supported by WebLogic Platform

Database Type	JDBC Driver
Oracle 10gR2 RAC (for Oracle 10.2.0.1 and later patch sets of 10.2.x)	Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin Driver 11g
Oracle 11gR1 RAC (for Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 and later patch sets of 11.1.x)	Oracle Thin Driver 10g Oracle Thin Driver 11g Support for 11g RAC continues to rely on the well-proven integration architecture using Multi-Data Sources for XA with load balancing. See Using WebLogic Server with Oracle RAC in Configuring and Managing WebLogic JDBC.
