Practical Options at NPAC
The JDBC technologies that are currently being explored at NPAC are :
mSQL Database - JDBC driver from Imaginary
- a lightweight SQL engine that supports a subset of ANSI SQL
- shareware product that can be built on most Unix OS and Win32 OS
- one of the first database products to be supported by a Java API
- avialable from anonymous ftp ftp://bond.edu.au/pub/Minerva/msql
- JDBC driver for mSQL database can be downloaded from
http://www.imaginary.com/Java/
Oracle - JDBC driver from Weblogic
- Weblogic has got a set of proprietary solutions to access DB
- Works with Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL server
- Classes built on top of JDBC to handle result datasets etc.
- Access the DB either through JDBC application or applets
