From Overview of JDBC: Java Database Connectivity Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Nancy McCracken,(Sangetta Aggarwal, Meryem Ispirli, Udayan Parvate, Tom Pulikal, Chao-Wei Ou)
Advantages
  • Allows access to a remote database using JDBC API from a java program transparently with a single driver existence at the client side.
  • Tries to attain uniformity at the client side over the use of the driver and the jdbc API used.
  • Will work with any type of driver (out of 4 categories mentioned previously) which only needs to be at the server side now.
Limitations
  • Implementation of the server side of this driver has many alternatives such as Socket communication/RMI/CORBA.
  • Involves network traffic at a higher magnitude which makes it prone to failure depending upon the reliability of the network.
