JDBC drivers for NonStop SQL database access
JDBC drivers implement JDBC API and provide access to NonStop SQL databases. You can use
JDBC API calls in your Java programs to access SQL tables on NonStop systems. The following
are the available drivers and the access they provide are:
• Type 2, which is native API driver to use in Java programs running with NonStop Server for
Java on a NonStop system. The type 2 driver is installed using SUT.
◦ JDBC Driver for NonStop SQL/MX (JDBC/MX) for use with SQL/MX
◦ JDBC Driver for NonStop SQL/MP (JDBC/MP) for use with SQL/MP
• JDBC Type 4, which uses network protocols built in the database engine. Type 4 driver
communicates directly to the database using Java sockets. You can use the HP NonStop JDBC
Type 4 Driver in Java programs running on PCs, HP-UX systems, and other platforms for access
to NonStop SQL/MX. For the latest list of supported platforms, see current JDBC Type 4
Softdoc, which can be found online by accessing Scout for NonStop Servers.
To obtain detailed information on the standard JDBC API, you can download the JDBC API
documentation provided by Oracle documentation.
For information on HP drivers that are provided to access SQL/MX or SQL/MP, see JDBC driver
manuals at http://www.hp.com/go/nonstop-docs.
JToolkit for NonStop servers
The HP JToolkit for NonStop Servers includes three APIs as tools for using Java programs to access
legacy applications on NonStop servers. JToolkit also includes Scalable TCP/IP (SIP) for developing
network servers written in Java. For more information, see JToolkit for Java API Reference Pages.
Enscribe API for Java
The Enscribe API for Java allows access to the Enscribe Database Manager, supported by the
Guardian file system. This access is typically used to interact with legacy applications.
