JDBC Type 2 Driver Programmer's Reference for SQL/MX Release 3.2.1 (H06.26+, J06.15+)

7 JDBC/MX Compliance
The JDBC/MX Driver for NonStop SQL/MX conforms where applicable to the Oracle JDBC 3.0
API specification. However, the JDBC/MX driver differs from the JDBC standard in some ways
because of limitations of NonStop SQL/MX and the JDBC/MX driver. This subsection describes
the JDBC methods that are not supported, the methods and features that deviate from the
specification, and features that are HP extensions to the JDBC standard. JDBC features that conform
to the specification are not described in this subsection.
The topics are:
• “Unsupported Features” (page 62)
• “Limitation of JDBC/MX Type 2 Driver” (page 65)
• “Deviations” (page 65)
• “HP Extensions” (page 68)
• “SQL Conformance” (page 68)
• “JDBC/MX Type 2 Driver Features” (page 73)
• “Thread library compliance” (page 73)
Unsupported Features
The following interfaces in the java.sql package are not implemented in the JDBC/MX driver
because the data types involved are not supported by NonStop SQL/MX:
• java.sql.Array
• java.sql.Ref
• java.sql.Savepoint
• java.sql.SQLData
• java.sql.SQLInput
• java.sql.SQLOutput
• java.sql.Struct
NOTE: Support for java.sql.Blob and java.sql.Clob packages require the use of
SQL/MX user tables as described in “Working with BLOB and CLOB Data” (page 44). These
packages are not supported for access of SQL/MP user tables.
