JDBC providers
Installed applications use JDBC providers to access data from
databases.
The JDBC provider and data source together are functionally equivalent
to the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) Connection Factory. The WebSphere
Application Server prerequisite Web site has a current list of supported providers.
If your database is DB2, however, simply refer to the
topic Vendor-specific data sources minimum required settings to
learn which DB2 JDBC provider is appropriate for your database configuration
and application requirements. This document contains descriptions of the following
providers, including the supported data source classes and their required
properties:
