Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a standard SQL database access interface, providing uniform access to a wide range of relational databases. JDBC also provides a common base on which higher level tools and interfaces can be built.JDBC DriversThe current JDK software bundle includes JDBC and the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
