Foil 21 More Details on JDBC Architectures

From Overview of JDBC and its use with Microsoft Access ARL Database Tutorial -- February 98. by Nancy McCracken(Sangetta Aggarwal, Udayan Parvate, Tom Pulikal)


The JDBC API defines Java classes to represent database connections, SQL statements, result sets, database metadata, etc. It allows a Java programmer to issue SQL statements and process the results. JDBC is the primary API for database access in Java.
The JDBC DriverAPI represents (which is also a part of package java.sql) the set of interface classes , any new jdbc compliant driver should implement. This imparts inherent extendibility for different types of databases.
The remote access to a database over the network completely depends upon the particular installation of the jdbc driver for that database.
