1 | 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. |
2 | 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. |
3 | The remote access to a database over the network completely depends upon the particular installation of the jdbc driver for that database. |
