What Is Java Database Connectivity?
The Java® programming language is a software suite that offers many modules for most types of development. Among the most important modules are the Java® database connectivity (JDBC) programming interfaces. These interfaces provide access to databases from Java® programs. The JDBC interfaces work with several commercial databases including Oracle® and Microsoft®. Most software applications require a database to store the information that is captured from the computer keyboard. This data must be saved into the computer program and retained in a database. Java® uses JDBC to convert data from the programming language into a database. This conversion happens each time the application modifies data.
