Programming Interfaces Guide
CHAPTER 1. Programming Interface Overview
JDBC is a call-level interface for Java applications. Developed by Sun Microsystems, JDBC provides Java programmers with a uniform interface to a wide range of relational databases, and provides a common base on which higher level tools and interfaces can be built. JDBC is now a standard part of Java and is included in the JDK.
Sybase provides a JDBC driver, named Sybase jConnect. You can use jConnect to access Adaptive Server Anywhere databases. Sybase jConnect documentation is provided in Dynatext format.
In addition to using JDBC as a client side application programming interface, you can also use JDBC inside the database server to access data from Java in the database. For that reason JDBC is documented as part of the Java in the database documentation.
JDBC is not described in this book. For a description of JDBC, see Data Access Using JDBC
