附录1英文原文 JDBC Introdution The JDBC API is the application programming interface that provides universal data access for the Javatm programming language. It includes the JDBC 1.0 API, which provides the basic functionality for data access. The JDBC 2.0 API supplements the basic API with more advanced features and provides a standard way to acce ss the latest object-relational features being supported by todays relational database management systems. In addition, the new API includes features such as scrollable and updatable result sets and improved performance. It also extends JDBC technology beyond the client to the server with connection pooling and distributed transactions. It is also possible to get the javax.sql package by downloading the Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition, which includes both the java.sql and javax.sql packages. Programmers who are not writing Enterprise JavaBeanstm (EJB) components or other server code will probably want to download the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, rather than the Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition, to limit the amount of disc space used. What is the JDBC API? The JDBC API is a Java API for accessing virtually any kind of tabular data. (As a point of interest, JDBC is the trademarked name and is not an acronym; nevertheless, JDBC is often thought of as standing for Java Database Connectivity.) The JDBC API consists of a set of classes and interfaces written in the Java programming language that provide a standard API for tool/database developers and makes it possible to write industrial strength database applications using an all-Java API. The JDBC API makes it easy to send SQL statements to relational database systems and supports all dialects of SQL. But the JDBC 2.0 API goes beyond SQL, also making it possible to interact with other kinds of data sources, such as files containing tabular data. The value of the JDBC API is that an application can access virtually any data source and run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machin
