Sure it works, and is well tested and mature, and so are most of the jdbc drivers, never had any problem with any jdbc driver, aside of digging to code to understand some not documented behaviours. I don't see why put the Java driver as a benefit point of Oracle, most of the developers problems and issues don't occur at the JDBC level. It might be true for .NET but I'm really supicious if the Oracle support is that better over others

I didn't say code quality, I said usage of obscure and internal hacks from the JVM and JDK

Well, to know which obscure and internal hacks are those one has to read the source code.

Also Oracle drivers also run in other JVMs, so which JVM are they abusing then?

As for why speaking about the drivers, I have had my share of driver issues during the last couple of decades, when going enterprise scale.
