Purpose

You can use the MaxDB JDBC driver to access the MaxDB database system via the JDBC interface. It can be used on all operating systems supported by the database system.

Implementation Considerations

The MaxDB JDBC driver is an integral part of the MaxDB software. See the Download section and the Installation Manual for information on where to find the MaxDB software and how to install it.

To be able to use the MaxDB JDBC driver, you also need the following software:

·        for JDBC 2.0: JRE 1.2 or, for application development, JDK 1.2

·        for JDBC 3.0: JRE 1.4 or, for application development, JDK 1.4

To use this documentation effectively, you must have a working knowledge of the Java programming language and the JDBC specification.

For more information about the database system, see Concepts of the Database System. For quick access to all documentation and an explanation of the most important terms, use the alphabetical Glossary.
