JDBC Drivers and Databases

Table 2–2 lists databases and drivers that meet the Java EE compatibility requirements. All supported configurations of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server must contain at least one database/driver combination from this table, such as the bundled Java DB database and driver. In addition, the Enterprise Server is designed to support JDBC connectivity to any additional DBMS with a corresponding JDBC driver.
