6 JDBC Reference
Cloudscape comes with a built-in JDBC driver. That makes the JDBC API the main API for working with Cloudscape databases. The driver is a native protocol all-Java driver (type #4 among the categories defined by JavaSoft.)
This chapter provides reference information about Cloudscape's implementation of the JDBC API and documents the way it conforms to the JDBC 1.2 API and the JDBC 2.0 API.
See the Cloudscape Developer's Guide for task-oriented instructions on working with the driver.
This JDBC driver implements the standard JDBC interface defined by JavaSoft. When invoked from an application running in the same JVM as Cloudscape, the JDBC driver supports connections to a Cloudscape database in local mode. No network transport is required to access the database. In client/server mode, the client application dispatches JDBC requests to the JDBC server over a network; the server, in turn, which runs in the same JVM as Cloudscape, sends requests to Cloudscape through the local JDBC driver.
The Cloudscape JDBC implementation provides access to Cloudscape databases and supplies all the required JDBC interfaces. Unimplemented aspects of the JDBC driver return an SQLException with a message stating "Feature not implemented" and an SQLState of XJZZZ. These unimplemented parts are for features not supported by Cloudscape.
