"It it said it could not load or find main class com.vizdom.dbd.jdbc.Server - so, where is this com.vizdom.dbd.jdbc.Server class supposed to be? Is it something I need to add to my classpath?"

Installation "The Java classes and their source code are provided in dbd_jdbc.jar. Copy this file to a location of your choice. See the DBD::JDBC documentation (JDBC.pod) for instructions on running the server.

Starting the server ... Add dbd_jdbc.jar, log4j-1.2.13.jar, a log4j.properties file, and your database's JDBC driver to your classpath. Follow any other instructions which came with your JDBC driver..

The last example is just a bash script, setting some environment variables before running java, a websearch will find you the equivalent in powershell or batch file.

From bash, I ran the following:

java -Djdbc.drivers=$DRIVERS -Ddbd.port=9001 com.vizdom.dbd.jdbc.Serve
+r^Zexport CLASSPATH=dbd_jdbc.jar:/oracle/jdbc/classes111.zip:$CLASSPA
+TH  DRIVERS=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver  java -Djdbc.drivers=$DRI
+VERS -Ddbd.port=9001 -Ddbd.trace=tedious com.vizdom.dbd.jdbc.Server
[download]

and I received the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/
+logging/log4j/LogManager
        at com.vizdom.dbd.jdbc.Server.<clinit>(Server.java:70)

So, that would lead me to believe that the environment variables, are not set up properly. However, My environment variables point to the C:\jars folder. And, in this folder, I have the following files: dbd_jdbc.jar, log4j2.properties, tdgssconfig.jar, and log4j-1.2.13.jar - so, am I missing a file?

Here is my class path:

Any thoughts or ideas as to where I'm going wrong would be appreciated.
