JDBC provider summary

JDBC providers are prerequisites for data sources, which supply applications with the physical connections to a database.

Use these tables for quick reference on database-specific JDBC providers.

Table 1. Apache Derby JDBC providers . Use the table for quick reference on database-specific JDBC providers.
