title: jdbc driver is not loading in apache jmeter using jmeter.properties file
body: <p>I have apache jmeter based test tool, Previously I had Sybase database to connect from test tool which has easily connected using "<strong>jconn3-6.0-b26564.jar</strong>" and I am defining it in the jmeter.properties</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>user.classpath=../../jar/sybase/jconn3-6.0-b26564.jar</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>while running my testtool it .jar used to load and I used to connect to the sybase database.</p>
  
  <p>Now, my requirement got changed and I have to connect my application to the <strong>ORACLE 11G</strong> database, in the testtool package I have <strong>/jar</strong> folder under that I have oracle jar i.e. <strong>ojdbc14.jar</strong>, which is compatible while connecting to the oracle database, I have tried it by using eclips. My actual problem is here, in <strong>jmeter.properties</strong> file I don't have by default oracle jar path added only sybase is there. I tried adding manually and restarted <strong>apache</strong> but it is not picking up the ojdbc14.jar and I am getting below error in my testtool log:</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>FATAL DatabaseOperations:51 - Exception oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>so my all test cases are failing as I am not able to connect to database. is there any alternate way where I can load my jdbc jar. Please help.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I don't have code access so I can't change anything in code.</p>
