JDBC

• Java Database Connectivity

  • based on ODBC (Open Database Connectivity - C API)

• involves implementation of "interface"

  • each database implements jdbc functionality on top of their existing system
  • Types of drivers:
    • Level 1: JDBC-ODBC bridge
    • Level 2: native implementation with local JNI calls
    • Level 3: implementation using independent net protocols
    • Level 4: implementation using db-specific net protocols
