DataDirect JDBC Driver for MySQL

Developed in partnership with MySQL AB (now part of Sun Microsystems), DataDirect offers its industry-standard, 100% Type 4 JDBC drivers for MySQL:

  • Reliable, enterprise-class data connectivity for MySQL Enterprise
  • High-end performance and scalability
  • Robust functionality and high quality as in all DataDirect JDBC drivers
  • Ideal for embedding in software products and deploying in corporate environments

Improves the performance and scalability of your applications

DataDirect Connect for JDBC delivers the faster response times and exceptional scalability needed for business-critical software deployments.

DataDirect JDBC drivers outperform competitive drivers in benchmark tests for updates, inserts, fetches, and parameter-based processing.

Provides comprehensive database/platform coverage from one vendor

DataDirect can serve all your data connectivity needs, for any API (JDBC, ODBC, .NET) for any major database—SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, and more, while offering extensive platform support.

Delivers simple, easy-to-use high availability for any application

DataDirect drivers completely manage application failover and balancing of work load without requiring changes to application code.

Ensures data integrity

Includes SSL data encryption and password encryption.

Guarantees reliability for demanding production environments

DataDirect JDBC drivers are quality tested and certified using Sun’s Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) and DataDirect’s JDBC Verification Suite (JVS), the largest, most mature JDBC testing infrastructure, which tests all JDKs, multiple connection modes, and Java application servers.

100% specification compliance and robust functionality

Built using the same features as our other industry-leading drivers, DataDirect JDBC drivers for MySQL are fully compliant with JDBC 3.0 and JDBC 4.0, supporting key functionality of these specifications, such as validating connections, getting and setting client information, and automatically loading the driver by the Java SE 6 VM.

Reduces total cost of ownership through superior technical support

Focused on database connectivity, our award-winning support includes 24x7 phone, web, email, forum, fax, and an extensive knowledgebase.

Superior technical support is essential to resolve data connectivity issues quickly, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership of software.

Makes it easy and cost effective to support multiple databases and database versions

Sharing a common architecture, DataDirect JDBC drivers provide exceptional interoperability through features such as SQL up-leveling, which ease development for multi-database environments and for independent software vendors.
