We found that PB provides support for JDBC connectivity. This could be a great relief for our customers because application may no longer require massive DB client installation in case of DB2 or Oracle. Are there any known limitations that we should know before we add  JDBC support to our app?

Thank you,

Yuri

You're confusing JDBC, which is a different layer from the database driver, with the database driver itself. You can't connect to an Oracle DB without an Oracle driver of some type. JDBC is a glue layer just like ODBC, and only provides an interface between your app and the database driver itself. It's not designed to replace a database driver.

That is not correct. Oracle JDBC is a driver itself. It does not need anything else to be installed, just a "oracle driver.jar file to be included into the classpath. Same for SQL Server

I would recommend you use ADO.NET or ODBC rather than JDBC since the stated direction for PB is .NET rather than Java.  That doesn't mean we have plans to discontinue JDBC support, but if you are investing to switch to a different DB interface it would be prudent to go with a different DB interface.

Please keep supporting JDBC yes.



We are starting to offer TmaxSoft's Tibero as a database solution for our applications and so far their best connection is with JDBC
