Issue
Question: What exact ojdbc driver should I use for: Oracle 12cR2 (12.2) with JDK 11
Reference: I am referring https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/faq-jdbc.html#01_01
Which says for ojdbc8.jar. Now there are multiple versions released of ojdbc8.
The one which is release with Oracle 12.2 is not compatible with JDK11. (https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/jdbc-ucp-122-downloads.html)
The one which is released with Oracle 19c (19.3) is compatible with JDK11 (https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/jdbc-ucp-19c-downloads.html)
So I cannot find a clear explanation of using ojdbc jar to be used with Oracle 12.2 and JDK11. Can I use ojdbc8 jar released with Oracle 19c for Oracle 12.2/12cR2?
Solution
Yes, you can use 19c JDBC driver with Oracle Database 12.2. Please see the below in FAQ that shows the JDBC driver and the database compatibility.
