Previous Topic: How CA IDMS Server Uses the APINext Topic: JDBC Conformance


JDBC Programmer Reference

The JDBC interface allows Java applications to access different databases without specifically targeting any particular database. A set of classes called a JDBC driver is used to link an application to a specific database. The JDBC interface was developed by Sun Microsystems based on ODBC 2.5, and like ODBC, is consistent with the X/OPEN Call Level Interface (CLI).

This appendix provides information useful to developers of Java applications intended to access CA IDMS databases. A general familiarity with Java and JDBC is assumed.

The javadoc generated from the JDBC driver source code contains additional information about the CA IDMS implementation of JDBC. This HTML format documentation is installed in the CA IDMS Server directory and can be accessed from the CA IDMS Server menu.

This section contains the following topics:

JDBC Conformance

Database Type Mapping between JDBC and CA IDMS

DriverManager

DataSource Connection Parameters

Distributed Transactions

Batch Updates

Procedures

Scrollable Result Sets

Positioned Updates

HibernateDialect

Sample Programs
