Bug 86857

NetBeans 200609270000
JDK 1.6 build 101
Windows XP

I connect to an Oracle 9i database using the Oracle thin driver.  It connects
OK, and I can issue SQL statements against the database, but when I try to open
the "Tables" view I get an error that says "Unable to read the database
structure, connection is broken; Unsupported feature".  This worked great in
NetBeans 5.0 RC1.  So, I can't see a list of the tables in the schema.

Oracle driver:  oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver  (from classes12.jar)
URL:  jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:mydatabase

Here's the entry from the log file:
