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


Any jdbc driver has to implement the following interfaces as specified under the java.sql package and has to fulfil the specified responsibilities.
  • CallableStatement - Acts to give the effect of a stored procedure and allows to get result-set fields after executing the statement.
  • Connection - It represents a session with a specific database. Within the context of a Connection, SQL statements are executed and results are returned. This is the object returned by the getConnection method of the DriverManager class.
  • DatabaseMetaData - Provides methods to know about the database as a whole by returning a ResultSet object for each of the meta-data related queries.
