Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an application programming interface (API) for the Java programming language which defines how a client may access a database. It is a Java-based data access technology used for Java database connectivity. It is part of the Java Standard Edition platform, from Oracle Corporation.
The JDBC type 4 driver, also known as the Direct to Database Pure Java Driver, is a database driver implementation that converts JDBC calls directly into a vendor-specific database protocol. Written completely in Java , type 4 drivers are thus platform independent .
C++, C#, Java, Python, Smalltalk and XML: SQL superset Proprietary: Distributed, Parallel Query Engine ObjectStore: 7.2 (July 2011) C++, Java, interoperable with .NET SQL subset (also has own object query language) Proprietary: Embedded database supporting efficient, distributed management of C++ and Java objects.
It is inefficient for an application to create, use, and close a database connection whenever it needs to update a database. Connection pooling is a technique designed to alleviate this problem. A pool of database connections can be created and then shared among the applications that need to access the database.
In software, a data access object (DAO) is a pattern that provides an abstract interface to some type of database or other persistence mechanism.By mapping application calls to the persistence layer, the DAO provides data operations without exposing database details.
Because the database is integrated with the programming language, the programmer can maintain consistency within one environment, in that both the OODBMS and the programming language will use the same model of representation. Relational DBMS projects, by way of contrast, maintain a clearer division between the database model and the application.
An ODBC driver can be thought of as analogous to a printer driver or other driver, providing a standard set of functions for the application to use, and implementing DBMS-specific functionality. An application that can use ODBC is referred to as "ODBC-compliant". Any ODBC-compliant application can access any DBMS for which a driver is installed.
H2 is a relational database management system written in Java. It can be embedded in Java applications or run in client–server mode. [1] The software is available as open source software Mozilla Public License 2.0 or the original Eclipse Public License. [citation needed]
