JDBC is an API for database connectivity between the Java platform and a wide range of data sources. The JDBC topics presented here explain how to use the BEA WebLogic Enterprise (WLE) JDBC drivers, and how to implement JDBC connection pooling to maximize the efficiency of database connections in WLE EJB and WLE CORBA Java applications.

 

All JDBC Topics

Contains a comprehensive, hyperlinked list of JDBC topics.

Using the WLE JDBC/XA Driver

Describes the WLE JDBC/XA driver, which you can use to make local or distributed connections to Oracle 8i (version 8.1.5) databases.

Using JDBC Connection Pooling

Opening and closing JDBC connections are expensive operations. Creating a pool of JDBC connections gives WLE applications ready access to connections that are already open. It removes the overhead of opening a new connection for each database user. This topic shows you how.

Using the jdbcKona Drivers

Covers general guidelines for using the jdbcKona drivers, including a summary of the steps you take to use a jdbcKona driver in a WLE Java application.

Using the jdbcKona/Oracle Driver

Provides guidelines for using the jdbcKona/Oracle Type 2 driver.

Using the jdbcKona /MSSQLServer4 Driver

Explains how to use the jdbcKona/MSSQLServer4 driver. It is a Type 4 pure-Java, two-tier driver. It requires no client-side libraries because it connects to the database via a proprietary vendor protocol at the wire-format level. Unlike Type 2 JDBC drivers, Type 4 drivers make no native calls, so they can be used in Java applets.

jdbcKona Extensions to the JDBC API

Describes the jdbcKona extensions to the JDBC API.
