I would like to give more lights on my issue. The database that i am
trying to connect from my JAVA app is Oracle Rdb (on OpenVMS 7.2
system). So my first question is if i can use JDBC:ODBC bridge for
accessing the db from my app. if not why?

the 2nd thing is i assume(if the JDBC:ORACLE: driver works the same way
JDBC:ODBC bridge does) for using jdbc:oracle:thin:... i need to make a
client DSN in my system. But MS winXP does not have a option to make
oracle:jdbc driver to make such a DSN. What can i do to overcome it?

JDBC ODBC bridge sucks no matter what database.

Oracle thin driver is only for normal Oracle.

RDB has its own JDBC driver.

See http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/rdb7/index.html
at the bottom.
