Adding the Oracle Database Plug-In to Sun N1 SPS

Two separate JAR files support the Oracle 9i and 10g databases. However, several common components are packaged in the Oracle 10g plug-in. As a result, you must install the Oracle 9i and the Oracle 10g plug-ins to support Oracle 9i. To support Oracle 10g, you have to install only the Oracle 10g plug-in JAR file.

To make a given plug-in known to the Sun N1 SPS product, you need to import the plug-in to the Master Server. If you have already imported previous versions of the Oracle Database Plug-In you need to upgrade to the new plug-ins.
