Overview of JDBC Administration
The Administration Console provides an interface to the tools that allow you to
configure and manage WebLogic Server features, including JDBC (database
connectivity with Java). For most JDBC administrative functions, which include
creating, managing and monitoring connectivity, systems administrators use the
Administrative Console or the command-line interface. Application developers may
want to use the JDBC API.
