OIT allows access to the PUBLIC [class projects database] on their Oracle Server(acme.gatech.edu) at port 1525 from both the acme machines as well as outside. In order to connect using java, the oracle jdbc driver(classes12.zip & nls_charset12) should be available and setup in the classpath. Also, access to oracle on acme from a remote client requires an oracle password, which you can set through the SQL ALTER statement. See Oracle Accessfor details.
