JDBC

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a Java API that defines how a client may access a database. It provides methods for querying and updating data in a database and is oriented towards relational databases. JDBC is part of the Java Standard Edition platform via the java.sql module (with enterprise extensions in javax.sql), and every JDBC driver implements the Driver interface to enable database connectivity in Java applications.

JDBC is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Database, Java, JDBC, SQL, and Standard.

JDBC’s developer surface includes documentation and 3 more developer resources.
