11. JDBC Components

Abstract

Guide for successfully installing and running the OpenLink JDBC Client Classes.

The OpenLink Drivers for JDBC enable the development, deployment, and utilization of database independent Java Applications, Applets, Servlets, and Bean Components (collectively called JDBC Clients) that conform to the JDBC 1.1.x, or JDBC 2.0.x specifications from JavaSoft.

JDBC clients are built by importing the "java.sql.*" collection of classes known as the JDBC Driver Manager interface. The JDBC Driver Manager uses JDBC URLs to link JDBC clients with JDBC Drivers. It is important to note that JDBC URLs are JDBC Driver specific. Detailed information regarding JDBC is available from: java.sun.com.
