That is correct, at least as far as 8.1.7 is concerned. We had to recode our applications to use the jdbc:oci8 driver instead of jdbc:thin.

I've also heard that thick driver is required for TAF (Transparent Application Failover). Can someone confirm or refute this?

Thanks,

The pure java thin driver is supposed to be faster because it does not incur a context switch between the oci and java, while the thick driver has better lob support.

JDBC 3.0 is supposed to have improved lob support as well as pooling, but I don't believe the weblogic server can take advantage of it yet...
