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 Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connection factory, which provides connectivity with a non-relational database.

For a current list of supported providers, see the WAS prerequisite website. For detailed descriptions of the providers, including the supported data source classes and their required properties, refer to the topics on data source required minimum required settings, by vendor.
