API Conformance

JDBC does not define conformance levels in the same sense that ODBC does. A JDBC driver must implement all methods defined in the specification. However, the driver can return an exception, or a 0 or null value, to indicate that it cannot do what the method requires. The JDBC driver implements some methods to satisfy the JDBC specification. These methods are fully documented in the javadoc.
