A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization

2.2. JBoss Data Virtualization and JDBC

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

The Java 1.6 or 1.7 JDK is required by client applications connecting to an JBoss Data Virtualization VDB.

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.
