JDBC

Abbreviation · Development

Definitions

  1. Java Database Connectivity — a standard Java API for connecting to and executing queries against relational databases. Provides a uniform interface regardless of the underlying database vendor, with vendor-specific drivers handling the translation.

    In plain English: Java's built-in way to talk to databases — write your database code once and it works with any database that has a JDBC driver.

    Example: "JDBC abstracts away whether you're talking to Postgres, MySQL, or Oracle — the code stays the same, only the connection string changes."
