The Informix JDBC Driver

All UDRs written in Java™ code can access the database server data through the HCL Informix® JDBC Driver application programming interface (API). This section briefly describes the Informix implementation of the Informix JDBC Driver API and the server-side Informix JDBC Driver.

Generally, the HCL Informix server-side Informix JDBC Driver derives from the client-side driver so that the two drivers are essentially the same. Java UDRs require some differences, however, to use the Informix JDBC Driver from the server side. This section describes the public Informix JDBC Driver interfaces and Informix JDBC Driver subprotocols that the Informix JDBC Driver provides specifically for server-side Informix JDBC Driver applications, and restrictions that apply to server-side Informix JDBC Driver applications. For principal documentation of the HCL Informix JDBC Driver, see the HCL Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide.
