Programming Interface Overview
JDBC is a call-level interface for Java applications. Developed by Sun Microsystems, JDBC provides Java programmers with a uniform interface to a wide range of relational databases, and provides a common base on which higher level tools and interfaces can be built. JDBC is now a standard part of Java and is included in the JDK.
SQL Anywhere Studio includes a pure Java JDBC driver, named Sybase jConnect. It also includes the iAnywhere JDBC driver, which is a type 2 driver. Both are described in JDBC Programming. For information on choosing a driver, see Choosing a JDBC driver.
In addition to using JDBC as a client side application programming interface, you can also use JDBC inside the database server to access data from Java in the database.
The JDBC interface is described in JDBC Programming.
