Query Technology for Database Developers

Dharma JDBCnet

Dharma JDBCnet provides an industry standard means of connecting to the SQLengine component. Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) has emerged as the preferred method for Web browser access to databases. With more develpers using the Java programming language, the need to access databases from Java will continue to grow. JDBC lets database vendors enhance their DBMS for the Internet. JDBC does for thin clients what Microsoft’s ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) did for Windows: it provides access to your DBMS from Web-browser or Java based applications.

Dharma was among the first vendors to embrace the JDBC standard and supply a JDBC driver as part of its SQL component technology. Dharma JDBCnet continues that commitment to JDBC. The latest release provides a “Type 4” JDBC Driver written completely in Java. This type of driver requires no software on client browsers and offers superior performance over other types of JDBC Drivers.
JDBC specifies a single Application Programming Interface for Java programs to access any data source. JDBC does for Intranets what ODBC did for Windows®: it provides a way for programmers to develop a single Web tool that can access different vendors’ databases.
JDBC masks the differences between different data sources and provides a standard interface to any Java application. With JDBC and Java , developers can quickly develop an deploy applications that are portable across various databases, including yours.

100% Pure Java™ JDBC Driver

Dharma JDBCnet is a 100% Pure Java JDBC driver. Unlike other types of JDBC drivers, Dharma JDBCnet is written completely in Java and does not rely on third-party network middleware.
Instead, the JDBCnet converts JDBC calls directly into the Java network protocol. This type of driver has the following advantages:

  • Because there is no client-resident software, the installation and administration hassles of ODBC drivers are a thing of the past.
  • Because there is no third-party network middleware, JDBCnet provides superior performance to multi-tier JDBC drivers.
