7 Using the Database Class Utilities
dbclasses is a server-side utility that allows you to store application logic in a database. Use it to add, update, and remove jar files in a database.
DBClassLoad enables database class loading for applications using Cloudscape in embedded mode. Use it to boot an embedded application that loads classes from the Cloudscape classes loader instead of from the user's class path. See the Cloudscape Developer's Guide for more information on how it works.
You may wish to store jar files in a database so that Cloudscape and your application can load classes from the database instead of the user's class path. Database class loading simplifies deploying applications. In a distributed Cloudscape system that uses synchronization, it also allows you to automate upgrading application logic.
For more information, see the Cloudscape Developer's Guide.
NOTE: Cloudview makes it very easy to add, update, and remove jar files and to configure a database for database class loading.
