What ojdbc driver we have to use with confluence 7.13?

We are upgrading our confluence from 7.3.5 to 7.13. But we are getting this error.

Let me jump here as this is one of my favourite topics.

Did you read the upgrade notes for the versions in between? I will invite you to spend sometime doing it as there are configuration changes you need to be aware of.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
