    <p>I've got a very simple java program (J.java, see below) on my application server that successfully connects to an Oracle 11.2 database on a database server (both servers are Linux CentOS) using JDBC thin driver from Oracle. </p> <p>As you can see from the setURL command in the Java code below, I've configured the application and database servers to sit next to each other, and they're on the same network (cross-cable connected to each other), so there's no network traffic on these (development) boxes except my code. </p> <p>The problem is the execution time varies a lot. If I run it 5 times, it (seemingly randomly) could take 0.01 seconds, or 10 seconds, or 50 seconds, or over a minute to execute. If it takes over a minute (roughly), the program doesn't complete, but the error shown below is returned instead. </p> <p>Any ideas what could be going on here? </p> <pre><code>--------error returned when execution take more than about 1 minute------- gn@host7 [~/fd]# java -cp ./ojdbc6_g.jar:.

    1. COTry a different method, this article says meta data methods are slow in JDBC. http://www.theserverside.com/news/1365579/Using-Database-MetaData-methods-appropriately But I am still leaning towards some network trouble, however improbable that sounds (in this situation).

    2. COThanks skynorth. I simply chose to read metadata to keep the java code as simple as possible. If I replace the metadata query with anything else, such as reading a row from a table in the database, the same result happens.

    3. COHave you tried using the DriverManager in the java.sql package to see if using the OracleDataSource is what is slowing you down? I've never used the OracleDataSource before so I figured I would ask.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
