been flipping through several docs, etc... on the jdbc. most of the say i need 
to execute
class.ForName("driver") to use the jdbc. The example for the database that 
comes with the J2EE sun download(pointbase) uses it.

however, when i look in

$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/demo/JDBCCheckup.java

I believe the oracle jdbc docs said to play with this script to learn the jdbc. 

it does not use class.ForName. Worked fine for me. anyone know when you have to 
use this? Docs aren't clear? do i only need it for the thick driver?
