1.2. JBoss Data Virtualization and JDBC
Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization provides an API that builds on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), allowing client applications to issue SQL queries against deployed virtual databases (VDBs).
Note
Your client applications must use Java JDK 1.6 or higher to connect to Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization VDBs.
Note
The JBoss Data Virtualization JDBC API is compatible with the JDBC 4.0 specification but does not fully support all methods. Advanced features, such as updatable result sets and SQL3 data types are also not supported.
See Section A.3, “Unsupported Classes and Methods in java.sql” and Section A.4, “Unsupported Classes and Methods in javax.sql” for more information about unsupported classes and methods.
Important
Support for earlier versions of JDK has been deprecated.
