Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
SQL Development

> ## Introduction to the JDBC client

> The JDBC client is installed with OpenEdge Client Access. For more information on installation procedures, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .

> Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java application programming interface (API) that allows SQL statements to perform database operations. The JDBC API consists of classes and interfaces written in Java. The JDBC API allows developers to write portable database applications using pure Java. These applications are portable because database-specific JDBC drivers convert the JDBC API call to a database-specific call.
