JDBC Package for Connected Device Configuration/Foundation Profile (JSR 169) JSR 169 featuressupport for

supports the JDBC API defined for the Connected Device Configuration/Foundation Profile, also known as JSR 169. The features supported are a subset of the JDBC 3.0 specification. Support for JSR 169 is limited to the embedded driver. does not support using the Network Server under JSR 169.

To obtain a connection using JSR 169, use the org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedSimpleDataSource class. This class is identical in implementation to the org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource class. See the for information on using the properties of the org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource class.

JSR 169 and its implementation have the following limitations:

  • Applications must get and set DECIMAL values using alternate JDBC getXXX and setXXX methods, such as getString() and setString(). Any alternate method that works against a DECIMAL type with JDBC 3.0 will work in JSR 169.
  • The XML data type is not supported, but an application can retrieve, update, query, or otherwise access an XML data value if it has classes for a JAXP parser and for Xalan in the classpath. issues an error if either the parser or Xalan is not found)

JSR 169 and its implementation do not support the following:

  • Java functions and procedures that use server-side JDBC, that is, routines declared with CONTAINS SQL, READS SQL DATA, or MODIFIES SQL DATA clauses
  • The DriverManager interface (this means that you cannot use the DriverManager.getConnection method to obtain a connection but must use the org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedSimpleDataSource class instead)
  • The standard URL used to obtain a connection, jdbc:default:connection (a runtime error may occur if the routine tries to obtain a connection using jdbc:default:connection)
  • Diagnostic tables
  • Triggers
  • Encrypted databases
  • Non-blocking I/O
  • Java EE resource manager support, including distributed transactions
  • Principal-based security
  • LDAP-based authentication
  • SSL/TLS encryption
  • Replication
