JDBC Driver
The Ingres JDBC Driver is a pure Java implementation of the JDBC 3.0 API released with the Sun Java 2 SDK, version 1.4. The driver supports application, applet, and servlet access to Ingres data sources through the Data Access Server.
The JDBC driver provided in Ingres 2.6 continues to be supported in Ingres 2006.
The Ingres JDBC Driver with the DAS supports the following JDBC 3.0 features:
• Boolean data type (similar to Bit)
• Savepoints
• Named procedure parameters
• Auto-generated keys
• Connection Pool Configuration
The Ingres JDBC Driver is delivered as a single Java archive file, iijdbc.jar, located in the library directory (lib) of the Ingres installation. Access to the driver can require, depending on the Java environment used, adding the Java archive to the CLASSPATH environment setting or as a resource in the appropriate utility. For browser/applet access, the Java archive must be copied to the Web Server directories.
