Type 5 JDBC Benefits
Type 5 JDBC drivers allow modern data-driven Java applications to take advantage of years of innovation in database features, data access models, and virtualization technologies without requiring code changes. By overcoming the limitations of Type 4 JDBC drivers, they can deliver many benefits to any data-driven Java application.
Type 5 Benefits Include:
- Faster Performance
Applications that use Type 5 JDBC drivers run faster and continue to do so even as more users are added. - Instant Application Enhancement
By switching to Type 5 JDBC drivers, any existing applications can immediately start to leverage advanced features and functionality such as failover, bulk load, and statement pooling. - Smaller Application Runtime Footprint
Applications that switch to Type 5 JDBC drivers see a significant reduction their runtime CPU and memory footprint which boosts the degree of server consolidation possible in a virtualized environment. - Simplified Deployment
Deploying applications with Type 5 JDBC drivers means fewer files to deploy and keep track of no matter what environment or driver functionality is required. - Reduced QA
Applications using Type 5 JDBC drivers can be developed without the need for data source specific code, thereby shortening the QA process.
With these benefits, organizations can save time and money enhancing their modern data-driven Java applications by expanding their feature set, performance, and scalability without making major application changes.
