| JDBC Driver on Java 2 Platform |
Introduction
The JDBC API is part of the Java 2 platform, which includes the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) and the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
This Mimer JDBC Driver is aimed at J2EE or J2SE systems, i.e. to be used in larger systems. It supports the JDBC 3 specification.
The intent of the JDBC 3.0 API is to provide access to a widely supported subset of SQL-99 features.

Description
The JDBC 3.0 API is divided into two packages: java.sql and javax.sql (for standard extensions). Both packages are included in the J2SE and J2EE platforms.
There are currently four standard extensions defined around the JDBC Core functionality:
- Java Naming. The Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) API provides a uniform way for applications to access remote services over the network.
- Distributed Transactions
- Connection Pooling
- Rowsets
Application servers are often used to access the database in the enterprise environment. With the use of the standard extensions it is possible, for example, to make consistent updates to distributed databases by using the standard extension for Distributed Transactions. When building applications for application servers in the J2EE environment objects called Enterprise JavaBeans are created. The programmer can focus on application logic, as, for example, transaction handling is provided automatically by the application server.
Support for Holdable Cursors is a new feature available in this Mimer JDBC Driver.
