We evaluated OCI driver ourselves and found that it has only one benefit - external OPS$ account support. Otherwise THIN driver requires less maintenance, less installation and it is often faster, because it brings some datatypes inline (LONG, if I am not mistaken).

For production environment it has been recommended that we use OCI

Based on the oracle JDBC guide, with oracle 10g there is not much
difference in the two drivers in terms of capability.
We would like to know is there any documentation/links/whitepapers on
the above? Is there any data proving that OCI performs better than THIN
driver?

What are you using for your production JDBC driver? Have you had a
chance to compare the two before making the decision?
