JDBC providers
Installed applications use JDBC providers to interact with relational
databases.
The JDBC provider object supplies the specific JDBC driver implementation
class for access to a specific vendor database. To create a pool of connections
to that database, you associate a data source with the JDBC provider. Together,
the JDBC provider and the data source objects are functionally equivalent
to the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connection factory, which provides
connectivity with a non-relational database.
For a current list of the providers that are supported by the Application
Server, check the prerequisites on the IBM support site. For detailed descriptions
of the providers, including the supported data source classes and their required
properties, refer to the following topics:
