5 Connecting a Database to JDBC

This chapter describes broadly how to set up a database so it can be used with the Java Database Connectivity optional package (JSR 169) that is included with Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client.

JDBC for CDC (JSR 169) can provide a uniform interface to many databases. The details of configuring a particular database to work with JDBC and Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client vary considerably from database to database and platform to platform. For an overview and example of connecting and using a database with Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client, see the JDBC white paper at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/embedded/resources/me-embeddocs/index.html.
