4.2.4.2.3: Accessing relational databases with the IBM data access beans

Java programs that access JDBC-compliant relational databases typically use the classes and methods in the java.sql package to access data. Instead of using the java.sql package, you can use the classes and methods in the package com.ibm.db, the IBM data access beans. This gives you additional features for data access beyond those available in the java.sql package.

The Related information discusses what the data access beans are, their advantages, and how to use them. A data access bean uses a connection that you provide to it, such as a connection from a connection pool that you get through a DataSource object.
