JDBC Driver for SQL/MP 3.0

Java VM that Sun Microsystems, Inc. has certified as conformant.
browser
A program that allows you to read hypertext. The browser gives some means of viewing the contents of nodes
and of navigating from one node to another. Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, NCSA Mosaic, Lynx, and
W3 are examples for browsers for the WWW. They act as clients to remote servers.
bytecode
The code that javac, the Java compiler, produces. When the Java VM loads this code, it either interprets it or
just-in-time compiles it into native RISC code.
C
catalog
In SQL/MP and SQL/MX, a set of tables containing the descriptions of SQL objects such as tables, views,
columns, indexes, files, and partitions.
class path
The location where the Java VM and other Java programs that are located in the /usr/tandem/java/bin
directory search for class libraries (such as classes.zip). You can set the class path explicitly or with the
CLASSPATH environment variable.
CLOB
A data type used to represent Character Large OBjects These are typically used to store, in Enscribe files,
images or serialized objects in the database. The internal structure and content of a Clob object are immaterial to
the NonStop Server for Java.
client
A software process, hardware device, or combination of the two that requests services from a server. Often, the
client is a process residing on a programmable workstation and is the part of a program that provides the user
interface. The workstation client might also perform other portions of the program logic. Also called a requester.
command
The operation demanded by an operator or program; a demand for action by, or information from, a subsystem.
A command is typically conveyed as an interprocess message from a program to a subsystem.
concurrency
A condition in which two or more transactions act on the same record in a database at the same time. To process
a transaction, a program must assume that its input from the database is consistent, regardless of any concurrent
changes being made to the database. TMF manages concurrent transactions through concurrency control.
concurrency control
Protection of a database record from concurrent access by more than one process. TMF imposes this control by
dynamically locking and unlocking affected records to ensure that only one transaction at a time accesses those
records.
connection pooling
A framework for pooling JDBC connections.
Core API
The minimal set of APIs that developers can assume is present on all delivered implementations of the Java
Platform when the final API is released by Sun Microsystems, Inc. The NonStop Server for Java conforms to
every Core API in the JDK. Core API is also called Java Core Classes and Java Foundation Classes.
D
Data Control Language (DCL)
The set of data control statements within the SQL/MP language.
Data Manipulation Language (DML)
The set of data-manipulation statements within the SQL/MP language. These statements include INSERT,
DELETE, and UPDATE, which cause database modifications that Remote Duplicate Database Facility (RDF)
