   Hi,   
       I'm new to Oracle.  I've got 9i setup on a Windows 2000 machine, named   
   "Jackie", and using the userid of "Scott" with password "Tiger", I can do   
   SQLPLus commands to my hearts content.  From a second machine, I can even do   
   iSQLPlus to "Jackie", great.   
   On the second machine, I'm trying to establish a JDBC connection using the   
   string     Connection conn =   
   DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin@jackie:1521:Global1","scott","   
   tiger");  (SID is Global1).   
   I am receiving the following error: Invalid Oracle URL specified .  I'm   
   trying to turn tracing on to get more information on the "Jackie" system,   
   but I'm not even sure that I'm getting out of the system that the Java app   
   is being run on.   
   Questions:   
   1) Does the database URL look okay?   
   2) Is there source for the Oracle JDBA stuff somewhere so I can step through   
   in debug?   
   3) How does one turn tracing on in Oracle so I can get more information as   
   to what is wrong?   
      
   Thanks.
