I think type 4 is best one, because it doesn't require any middle ware .It can directly intercat with the db

Type IV (Native-Protocol Pur Java Driver), which is specific to Vendor and extremly faster than the first three.

We need to consider different paramaters when chossing between the drivers. The following summarizes the types of drivers to use in different situations.

Performance with stored procedures: Type 2

Scalability: Type 3, Type 4

Transparent Application Failover: Type 2

Legacy system with ODBC driver: Type 2

Portability: Type 3, Type 4


Use the Thin driver if you are writing an applet or for applications where you have no control over the client platform.

The OCI driver will not work inside a Web browser because it makes native method calls.
