JDBC provider summary

JDBC providers are prerequisites for data sources, which supply applications with the physical connections to a database.

Use these tables for quick reference on database-specific JDBC providers.

DB2 on Windows, supported UNIX systems, or supported Linux systems
JDBC provider Transaction support Version and other considerations
DB2 Universal JDBC Provider One phase only  
DB2 Universal JDBC Provider (XA) One and two phase  
DB2 legacy CLI-based Type 2 JDBC Provider One phase only  
DB2 legacy CLI-based Type 2 JDBC Provider (XA) One and two phase  
DB2 on z/OS
JDBC provider Transaction support Version and other considerations
DB2 for z/OS Local JDBC Provider (RRS), using the Legacy DB2 for OS/390 and z/OS JDBC Driver One and two phase

Only for use with WebSphere Application Server run on z/OS

DB2 Universal JDBC Provider
  • One phase only when connecting to WebSphere Application Server run on Windows, supported UNIX systems, or supported Linux systems
  • One and two phase when connecting to WebSphere Application Server for the z/OS platform, using driver type 2
WebSphere Application Server for the z/OS platform only: For two-phase transaction support, use driver type 2. Application Server then uses RRS to coordinate transaction processing.
DB2 Universal JDBC Provider (XA) One and two phase
  • In WebSphere Application Server run on z/OS, you cannot use driver type 2 with the XA provider; in this case, use only driver type 4.
  • Does not support Version 4 data sources in WebSphere Application Server run on z/OS
Cloudscape Version 5.1.60.x
JDBC provider Transaction support Version and other considerations
Cloudscape JDBC Provider One phase only
  • Not for use in clustered environment: accessible from a single JVM only
  • Does not support Version 4 data sources
Cloudscape JDBC Provider (XA) One and two phase
  • Not for use in clustered environment: accessible from a single JVM only
  • Does not support Version 4 data sources
Cloudscape Network Server Provider using the Universal JDBC driver One phase only
  • Can be used in clustered environment: a database instance can be accessed by multiple JVMs
  • Does not support XA
  • Does not support Version 4 data sources
[Version 6.0.2]
Cloudscape Version 10.0
Cloudscape Version 10.0 was formerly known as Derby. Because the new Cloudscape code base is the product of the Open Source Apache Derby Project, Cloudscape v10.0 uses Derby JDBC classes.
Restriction: Version 10.0 cannot be used as a production database. Version 10.0 can only be used for development and test purposes.
