IBM DB2 for i

Java ™   and DB2 UDB

Accessing data is a fundamental element to nearly every Java business application. The IBM System i Java implementation provides several methods for accessing the wealth of business information stored on System i, iSeries, and AS/400 servers across the world. The System i Java-based data access alternatives can be divided into the following two groups:

• i5/OS-specific data access methods - It is important to note that these record-level access methods are not portable to other platforms.
• Java industry-standard access methods - These methods of data access are most ideal in those development environments where there is a need to write highly portable server code. The Java standard data access methodology is based on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and embedded SQL for Java (SQLJ).
• Native JDBC Driver (part of iSeries Developer kit for Java)
• Toolbox JDBC Driver (part of iSeries Toolbox for Java)
• ToolboxME for iSeries (JDBC driver for Tier 0 devices)
