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:
