JDBC driver Overview

JDBC (Java Data Base connectivity, Java database connection) is a Java API used to execute SQL statements. It can provide unified access to multiple relational databases, it consists of a group of classes and interfaces written in Java. JDBC provides a benchmark to build more advanced tools and interfaces.
Database developers can write database applications, and JDBC is also a trademark name.

In order to make it easy for you to learn, here are some major database JDBC drivers and corresponding operation methods, hoping to help you.

JDBC syntax used by the IBM as400 host
Clients with v4r4 or later versions
Access Express
You can go to c: \ Program Files \ IBM \ Client Access \ jt400 \ Lib
Find the driver File
Jt400.zip and change the extension to jt400.jar.
Conn code:

java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver (new com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver ()); Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCConnection"); con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400://IP","user","password");  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DB name: MS access or MS FoxPro
Conn code:
Step 1: Configure ODBC (for example, mydb)
Step 2:

String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:myDb"; Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);  

Or

String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:driver={MicrosoftAccessDriver(*.mdb)};DBQ=dabaseName.mdb"; Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);
