Java development with DB2
The IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ (formerly known as IBM Driver for JDBC and SQLJ) is a single application driver to support the most demanding Java™ applications. This agile driver can be used as in type 4 or type 2 mode.
Features of the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ include:
- Standards compliancy: JDBC 3 and JDBC 4
- New support for pureXML, SQL/XML and XQuery (including JDBC standard SQLXML data types)
- Optimized for DB2 across all platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows, z/OS and iSeries) and IDS
- Improved data access governance and performance using the new DB2 trusted context support
- Enhanced business resilency with integrated high availability features
- Increased concurrency with Optimistic locking
- Advanced support for new DB2 server features including: datatypes (DECFLOAT, ARRAY) and progressive streaming for improved large object and XML performance
- Easy to deploy
Optim Solutions bridge the divide between Java applications and DB2. Optim can be used to reduce development cycles and provide a collaborative environment for developers, architects, and DBAs to build, and test client and server-side Java application modules for DB2 and IDS.
