DaffodilDB

DaffodilDBDriver - Embedded

In the Embedded Edition of Daffodil DB (when invoked from an application running on the same JVM as
Daffodil DB), the JDBC driver supports connections to a Daffodil DB database in the local mode.
Network transport is not required to access the database. In Networked (Client/Server) mode, the
client application dispatches JDBC requests to the Daffodil DB server over a network.

Applications running in embedded mode use a different driver from that used by applications running in
the client/server mode.

DaffodilDBDriver - Server

The Daffodil DB JDBC driver is a native protocol for all Java drivers (Type #4 among the categories
defined by Sun Microsystems). Type 4 drivers are direct-to-database, pure Java drivers ("thin" driver).
Type 4 drivers takes JDBC calls and translates them into the network protocol (proprietary protocol)
used directly by any Database Management System (DBMS). Thus, client machines or application
servers can make direct calls to the DBMS server. Type 4 drivers provide faster performance and direct
access to DBMS features.

Notes
The driver property retrieveMessagesFromServerOnGetMessage can be very useful to set. Its
purpose is to tell the JDBC driver to present informative messages in the SQL Commander instead of
anonymous codes. Add it to the driver properties list for the actual database connection. Set the value
to true.

Oracle
Oracle Thin JDBC Driver

The JDBC Thin driver is a pure Java, Type IV driver that can be used in applications and applets. It is
platform-independent and does not require any additional Oracle software on the client-side. The JDBC
Thin driver communicates with the server using SQL*Net to access Oracle Database.

The JDBC Thin driver allows a direct connection to the database by providing an implementation of
SQL*Net on top of Java sockets. The driver supports the TCP/IP protocol and requires a TNS listener on
the TCP/IP sockets on the database server.

Oracle OCI JDBC Driver

The JDBC OCI driver is a Type II driver used with Java applications. It requires an Oracle client
installation and, therefore, is Oracle platform-specific. It supports all installed Oracle Net adapters,
including interprocess communication (IPC), named pipes, TCP/IP, and Internetwork Packet
Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX).

The JDBC OCI driver uses the OCI libraries, C-entry points, Oracle Net, core libraries, and other
necessary files on the client computer where it is installed.

Generally we recommend the Oracle Thin driver over the OCI driver since it works on any platform that
supports Java. OCI requires client libraries and these are not available on all platforms.
