Installing the JDBC Client

The JDBC client provides JDBC access through any Java-enabled applet, application, or application server. It delivers high-performance point-to-point and n-tier access to data sources. The client is optimized for the Java environment, allowing you to incorporate Java technology and extend the functionality and performance of your existing system.

The JDBC client runs on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. No changes are required to existing applications to enable them to run on 64-bit platforms.

Installing the JDBC client involves the following steps:

  1. Ensure that a web application server with connection pool configuration capabilities is installed and running.
  2. Obtain the license key for the JDBC client driver.
  3. Install the JDBC client.
  4. Configure the connection to the database using your web application server's connection pool management functions.
  5. Test the connection to the database.
