JDBC providers

Installed applications use JDBC providers to interact with relational databases.

The JDBC provider object supplies the specific JDBC driver implementation class for access to a specific vendor database. To create a pool of connections to that database, you associate a data source with the JDBC provider. Together, the JDBC provider and the data source objects are functionally equivalent to the J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) connection factory, which provides connectivity with a non-relational database.

For a current list of the providers that are supported by the Application Server, check the prerequisites on the IBM support site. For detailed descriptions of the providers, including the supported data source classes and their required properties, refer to the following topics:
[z/OS] Removed support: WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 no longer supports the DB2 for zOS Local JDBC Provider (RRS). Version 6.1 of the product requires that you migrate your JDBC configurations to the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver provider. For instructions, consult the topic "Migrating from the JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390 and z/OS to the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver" in the Information Management Software for z/OS Solutions Information Center.
