Using DBIntegrator Client for JDBC™

[Top] [Prev] [Next] [Bottom]



 

Introducing DBIntegrator Client for JDBC

DBIntegrator Client for JDBC  is the universal Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) client-side driver component of DBIntegrator. DBIntegrator Client connects users and data over Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), Intranets or the Internet. The DBIntegrator server component is included with Unify DataServer and Unify DataServer/ELS, and provides the database connectivity services.

This DBIntegrator Client component contains a JDBC 2.1 driver.

DBIntegrator Client for JDBC is a "100% Pure Java™" driver capable of connecting to any data source from  JDBC-enabled applications or Java™ applets.

What's New

This release delivers the JDBC 2.1 Core API and the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package functions, as specified in the JDBC specifications produced by Sun Microsystems:

1. JDBC 2.1 Core API: Performance Enhancements
2. JDBC 2.1 Core API: BigDecimal Methods
3. JDBC 2.1 Core API: Object Resolution
4. JDBC 2.1 Core API: Time Zones
5. JDBC 2.0 Optional Package Classes:

  • SimbaDataSource (implements javax.sql.DataSource, java.io.Serializable, javax.naming.Referencable)
  • SimbaObjectFactory (implements javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory)
  • SimbaRowSet (implements javax.sql.RowSet, java.io.Serializable,javax.naming.Referenceable)
  • SimbaPooledConnection (implements javax.sql.PooledConnection)
  • SimbaConnectionPoolDataSource (implements javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource, javax.sql.ConnectionEventListener, javax.naming.Referenceable, java.io.Serializable)
  • SimbaConnectionHandle (implements java.sql.Connection and acts as a wrapper to a Connection object)
  • For more information, see Appendix A: JDBC Core API Interfaces and Sun's JDBC Technology site at http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/index.html.

    About JDBC

    JDBC is a set of standard interfaces that enable Java applications and applets to access multiple database management systems using Structured Query Language (SQL). The JavaSoft™ JDBC Driver Manager handles multiple drivers connecting to different databases.

    About the Documentation

    This online manual contains information specific to installing DBIntegrator Client for JDBC, deploying it with Java applications and applets, and setting up data source connections. For information about installing and using DBIntegrator, see Unify DBIntegrator: Installation and Configuration Guide and Unify DBIntegrator: User's Guide (available in electronic format or hard copy). Note that chapters in that documentation referring to the DBIntegrator Client are ODBC-specific and you should consult this document for JDBC-specific information.

    System Requirements

    In order to use the DBIntegrator Client for JDBC's JDBC 2.1 driver, the following components are required:

    Deployment Strategies

    DBIntegrator can be deployed in a number of ways to suit your particular environment, including using it as a driver with a Java application or bundling it with a Java applet.

    The figures below illustrate both methods: 

    NOTE: The initial release of the DataServer ODBC driver only supports accessing local databases.  In these examples the DataServer ODBC driver (including the web server) and the database server must exist on the same machine, limiting you to a two-tier deployment.  Future releases of the DataServer ODBC driver may support accessing remote databases, allowing three-tier deployment.  Also note that the DataServer ELS ODBC driver for DBIntegrator is not scheduled to support accessing remote databases.
