JDBC Driver

The CA Datacom Server JDBC Driver implements the JDBC API and requires that your Java programs conform to the JDBC specification. The JDBC Driver also requires a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) which includes a Java virtual machine (JVM) and a JDBC Driver Manager.

The CA Datacom Server JDBC driver has the following capabilities:

• Calls the native interface directly when the JVM and JDBC Driver Manager are installed on the same platform.
• Uses JDBC indirectly when web-based applications run in browsers, through technologies such as Java Servlets or Java Server Pages (JSP), that appear as the application to the JDBC driver.
• Uses TCP/IP (z/OS only) by coding the appropriate option on the driver connection option or through a data source definition.
