update batching  

Also available previously as an Oracle extension. With release 8.1.6 and higher, under either JDK 1.2.x or JDK 1.1.x you can use either the standard update batching model or the Oracle model.

See "Update Batching" for information.  

result set enhancements (scrollable and updatable result sets)  

With release 8.1.6 and higher, this is also available under JDK 1.1.x as an Oracle extension.

See Chapter 12, "Result Set Enhancements" for information.  

fetch size / row prefetching  

With release 8.1.6 and higher, the JDBC 2.0 fetch size feature is also available under JDK 1.1.x as an Oracle extension.

Under either JDK 1.2.x or JDK 1.1.x, you can also use Oracle row prefetching, which is largely equivalent to the JDBC 2.0 fetch size feature but predates JDBC 2.0.

See "Fetch Size" and "Oracle Row Prefetching" for information.  

use of JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) to specify and obtain database connections  

This requires data sources, which are part of the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package (JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API) in the javax.sql package. With release 8.1.6 and higher this is available under either JDK 1.2.x or JDK 1.1.x.

See "A Brief Overview of Oracle Data Source Support for JNDI" and "Creating a Data Source Instance, Registering with JNDI, and Connecting" for information.  

connection pooling (framework for connection caching)  

This requires the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package (JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API) in the javax.sql package. With release 8.1.6 and higher this is available under either JDK 1.2.x or 1.1.x.

See "Connection Pooling" for information.  

connection caching (sample Oracle implementation)  

This requires the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package (JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API) in the javax.sql package. With release 8.1.6 and higher, this is available under either JDK 1.2.x or 1.1.x.

See "Connection Caching" for information.  

distributed transactions / XA functionality  

This requires the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package (JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API) in the javax.sql package. With release 8.1.6 and higher,, this is available under either JDK 1.2.x or 1.1.x.

See Chapter 16, "Distributed Transactions" for information.  

miscellaneous getXXX() methods  

See "Other getXXX() Methods" for information about which getXXX() methods are Oracle extensions under JDK 1.2.x and 1.1.x, and about any differences in functionality with JDBC 2.0.  

miscellaneous setXXX() methods  

See "Other setXXX() Methods" for information about which setXXX() methods are Oracle extensions under JDK 1.2.x and 1.1.x, and about any differences in functionality with JDBC 2.0.
