1. Java Database Connectivity
(JDBC)

4. JDBC
• JDBC is a Java API that is used to connect and
execute query to the database.
• JDBC API uses jdbc drivers to connects to the
database.

5. Components of JDBC

6. JDBC Architecture

8. Why use JDBC?
• Before JDBC, ODBC API was used to connect
and execute query to the database. But ODBC
API uses ODBC driver that is written in C
language which is platform dependent and
unsecured.
• That is why Sun Microsystem has defined its
own API (JDBC API) that uses JDBC driver
written in Java language.

9. What is API?
• API (Application programming interface) is a
document that contains description of all the
features of a product or software.
• It represents classes and interfaces that
software programs can follow to communicate
with each other. An API can be created for
applications, libraries, operating systems, etc.
