Getting Set Up to Use the JDBC 2.0 API

If you want to run code that employs any of the JDBC 2.0 features, you will need to do the following:

  1. Download JDK 1.2, following the download instructions
  2. Install a JDBC driver that implements the JDBC 2.0 features used in the code
  3. Access a DBMS that implements the JDBC 2.0 features used in the code

At the time of this writing, no drivers that implement the new features are available, but several are under development. As a consequence, it has not been possible to test the code demonstrating JDBC 2.0 features. You can safely learn from the examples, but they are not guaranteed to run.
