I recently installed the NB 5.5 RC1 and set up an Oracle database (JDBC) connection. I tried to view the database tables using the database explorer. I am able to expand the views and procedures nodes. But whenever I attempt to expand the tables node, I receive the following message in a pop-up window: "Unable to read the database structure, connection is broken; Unsupported feature" I have set up multiple connections to various Oracle datbases (and versions), all with the same result. I do not receive this message in NB 5.5 Beta2 (Build 200607190830) and the tables are displayed in the tree. Java version: 1.5.0_06-b05 OS: Windows XP SP2 Oracle driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver from ojdbc14.jar Oracle client: Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) Netbeans: NetBeans 5.5 RC1 Build 100610030000
Created attachment 34938 [details] Screenshot of error message
Probably caused by an old version of the Oracle driver, please use a 10.2.x driver instead. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 84654 ***
