JDBC 4.0 API Specification Final Release - JSR-000221

The JDBC 4.0 API Specification is now available for download.

JDBC RowSet Implementations 1.0.1 JWSDP 1.4 Co-Bundle

The JDBC RowSet Implementations 1.0.1 JWSDP 1.4 Co-Bundle builds around the final specification of JSR-114 providing the reference implementation, specification including a step by step tutorial to educate developers on the best usage of JDBC RowSets. We also provider demostration sampes and code to allow developers to immediately deploy J2EE and WebServices enabled applications that use JDBC RowSet into the Sun Java System Application Server PE, Tom Cat and Sun Java System Web Server.

JDBC RowSet Implementations

The JDBC RowSet Implementations specification standardizes key RowSet implementations defined in the JDBC 3.0 specification. This specification will become part of Java 2 Standard Edition 5 when it is released.

JDBC 3.0 API

All of the JDBC 3.0 API, including both the java.sql and javax.sql packages, is bundled with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, version 1.4 (J2SE). If you have downloaded the J2SE platform, you already have all of the JDBC API and do not need to download anything from this page.

JDBC Optional Package for CDC/Foundation Profile API

If you write applications for the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition, J2ME that access a relational database, you need to download this Optional Package. It is a subset of the java.sql package with a smaller footprint that is tailored to writing applications running CDC (Connected Device Configuration).

JDBC 2.1 Core API and JDBC 2.0 Optional Package API

General Application Programmers

If you write only client-side applications, you do not need to download anything from this page. By downloading the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, you already have the JDBC core API (java.sql package) and the associated javadoc documentation.

Server-side Programmers

If you write Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components, any software that supports them, or any other server-side software, you need to download the Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition. The Enterprise Edition includes both the JDBC core API and the JDBC Optional Package API (the javax.sql package). Both packages are necessary for any JDBC application that uses a DataSource object to make a connection, uses connection pooling, or uses distributed transactions.

Client-side Programmers Using a DataSource or RowSet Object

In general, you might want to download the javax.sql package in addition to the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, if you do not write server-side code but want to use one of the following:
  • A DataSource object to make a connection
    Note: To use a DataSource object to establish a connection, which is the recommended way, your driver must include a basic DataSource implementation.
  • A RowSet object
    Rowsets are typically used as a convenient way to pass data or to add scrollability to a result set.
Downloading the javax.sql package instead of the entire Enterprise Edition will save you disc space. If your driver vendor bundles the javax.sql package with its product, as many are expected to do, you do not need to download anything beyond the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.

NOTE: The javax.sql package is also called the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package API (formerly known as the JDBC 2.0 Standard Extension API).
