JDBC Overview

• JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) provides Java with a uniform interface to databases

• Implements SQL statements similar to ODBC

• Allows you to change underlying database driver without having to modify the application

• HP has drivers for IMAGE/SQL and Allbase Minisoft has a TurboIMAGE driver

• JDBC 2.0 Core API is a part of JDK 1.2

Why JDBC instead of ADBC, or the Java TURBOImage class library, or another database interface? Servlets don’t care! JDBC is simply the most common. And, it’s an official part of Java.
