Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is basically a collection of interfaces and objects that allow a Java program to communicate with many relational databases. This site will attempt to give the reader a general overview of installing and using JDBC and provide links to sites with more detailed information.
This project explores the promises and security issues of JDBC. The Emerald Team downloaded some tools and drivers from a few vendors to evaluate the possibilites of JDBC. We wrote an example Java application that can connect to different JDBC sources and with different drivers.
We also downloaded a development suite which was just made available from Oracle that uses JDBC to connect GUI application to Oracle.
