Using Oracle 19C driver to 11G database - oracle11g

Is there any harm or issue using the Oracle 19C JDBC [ojdbc8-19.3.0.0.jar] drivers to work with 11G database? We are in mid of migration but due to internal complex mechanism there will be case during which this scenario can happen in the Prod environment.

Check out JDBC FAQ. Latest JDBC drivers are backward compatible but, if the support period ends then, we cannot guarantee support for the older versions.
You can check out the Lifetime Support Policy for Oracle Database. The Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 extended support ended on Dec 2020.

You can take a look at oracle doc for more info:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/jjdbc/JDBC-getting-started.html#GUID-926E5324-D89A-4A00-B1AE-975C1089F0EA
I think it can work but not sure how compatible it is. Also depend on your java version. if u want to integration between java version 8+ and Oracle database version 11G.
In the best, it should be ojdbc6.jar with JDK 6, JDK 7, JDK 8 or ojdbc5.jar with JDK 5 for 11G database.

Migrating oracle 11g to 19c using Jooq 3.7.1 version degrades performance(insertion) on database significantly

Currently we are using jooq 3.7.1 pro version and oracle 11g database in our application. Now we need to upgrade database from 11g to 19c, So we used ojdbc8.jar to connect to oracle 19c and passing ORACLE12C dialect as Jooq 3.7.1 provides dialect until 12C only.
After upgrading to 19C, While running the performance test, Insertion in database is very slow.
My question is, is it because of ORACLE12C dialect in jooq 3.7.1?
Do we really need to upgrade the jooq version as well to overcome this performance degradation?

Is there any Oracle Driver (module) for Drupal 9?

The Oracle Driver works with Drupal 8, but its composer installation doesn’t work with Drupal 9.
https://www.drupal.org/project/oracle
My goal is to use the Views Database Connector module to interact with the external Oracle Database.
https://www.drupal.org/project/views_database_connector
That’s why I’m looking for the Oracle driver.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

A patch for a new version 3.x of Drupal's Oracle Driver has recently been proposed for merge. Perhaps this is what you are looking for? It claims compatibility up to Drupal 9.2, but requires Oracle 19c or above.

Oracle Provider VS 2012 RC

Database: Oracle 11g
VS 20120 Provider: ODAC 11.2 Release 4 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.3.0)
i just updated to VS 2012 RC and I cant even connect to my database. I dont expect EF 5 or .NET 4.5 to work with this provider but I just want to be able to set my solution target for .Net 4 and still be able to connect to my database. When I use the server explorer I do not see the provider that I usually use and the only oracle provider that comes with VS supports up to 10g and is deprecated.
Can anyone help me with getting a provider for oracle 11g in VS 2012?
I was able to figure this one out although google searches are not clear about the possibility to of finding an oracle provider for use in VS 2012 RC, .NET 4.5, using EF 5. So I will save everyone who is trying to do the same some trouble!
Devart develops providers for the different databases. I had given up on finding one for .NET 4.5 and was only looking for alternatives to the providers that oracle released for support EF 4.2. I found that alternative at Devarts site and it is called dotConnect for Oracle.
http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/download.html
At the time of writing this they are on version 7. I found out that it supports VS 2012 RC and EF5 by looking at the release notes on the right hand side of the screen. It is not made apparent anywhere else from what I can tell. It does support connecting to an oracle 11G database using .NET 4.5 and EF 5 though. Works just as it should. It costs money but I feel it is well worth the price rather then waiting for Oracle who has made no comment or announcement about developing a provider for .NET 4.5 and who never succeeded to deliver on EF 4.3 regardless.
So save yourself some time and heartache and check out dotConnect for oracle.
This Ora.NET provider for Oracle 11g (supports .NET 4.5) is available:
64Bit

32Bit

Oracle 11G and Toad

I installed trail version of Oracle 11g 64 bit on my laptop. I installed Oracle 10.6.1.3
and it is giving me an error saying Oracle 32 bit database not found?
I am new to Oracle and wondering whether there is a 64bit Toad? Also if Toad doesn't work what should I do to learn Oracle with the installed 11G version is there a different IDE.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks
