Why oracle Type 4 driver is named as oracle thin

Because Oracle wants us to realize that it uses less resources than
their other drivers.

I don't think the "thin" is about resources - it is about what need to
be installed locally. The thin driver does not require the Oracle
client
software to be installed. Just the jar file and actually not even that
because it can be downloaded by a classloader.

I see that client software as the resource not needed by the thin
driver.

Ah. I read "uses less resources" as "uses less CPU and/or RAM" not as
"uses less other software".

I did too, since the distinction between "fewer" and "less" then
becaomes relevant.

If there is more firewall running, then more CPU and RAM is needed. Ergo,
patronizing the extra painter means that the JDBC layer uses implied versions. Q.E.D.

This is just a reminder.
It is not an emergency yet.
Were it actual emergency, you wouldn't be able to read this.
