Introduction to Java in the Database
The runtime environment for Java in the database
The Java VM provides you with the choice of using the JDK 1.1, JDK 1.2, or JDK 1.3 programming interfaces. The specific versions provided are JDK versions 1.1.8 and 1.3.
Between release 1.0 of the JDK and release 1.1, several new APIs were introduced. As well, a number were deprecated—the use of certain APIs became no longer recommended and support for them may be dropped in future releases.
A Java class file using deprecated APIs generates a warning when compiled, but does still execute on a Java virtual machine built to release 1.1 standards, such as the Adaptive Server Anywhere VM.
The internal JDBC driver supports JDBC version 2.
