Pervasive PSQL v11 SP1 JDBC Release Notes
General Release — July 2011

This file contains the following topics:

About the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Driver

The Pervasive PSQL JDBC driver is a Type 4, 100% Pure Java certified client driver. The driver supports the JDBCTM 2.0 standard. The driver works on all platforms that support the JVM.

The Pervasive JDBC driver is a thin client that does a minimum amount of processing. The driver relies on the server for the core processing logic such as syntax analysis and query processing. Communication to the Pervasive PSQL Server is via the server's native LNA network protocol.

Additional information on JDBC is available on the Javasoft JDBC web page: http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc

The JDBC driver for Pervasive PSQL is shipped with the Pervasive PSQL engine. The Pervasive PSQL SDK release adds the JDBC samples.
