JDBC Driver for SQL/MP 3.0

protocol. It provides e-mail, file transfer, news, remote login, and access to thousands of databases. The Internet

includes three kinds of networks:

High-speed backbone networks such as NSFNET and MILNET

Mid-level networks such as corporate and university networks

Stub networks such as individual LANs

interoperability

One of these:

The ability to communicate, run programs, or transfer data between dissimilar environments, including

among systems from multiple vendors or with multiple versions of operating systems from the same

vendor. HP documents often use the term connectivity in this context, while other vendors use connectivity

to mean hardware compatibility.

Within a NonStop system node, the ability to use the features or facilities of one environment from

another. For example, the gtacl command in the OSS environment allows an interactive user to start and

use a Guardian tool in the Guardian environment.

interpreter

The component of the Java VM that interprets bytecode into native machine code.

ISO

See International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

jar

The Java Archive tool, which combines multiple files into a single Java Archive (JAR) file. Also, the command

to run the Java Archive Tool.

JAR file

A Java Archive file, produced by the Java Archive Tool, jar.

java

The Java interpreter, which runs Java bytecode. Also, the command to run the Java interpreter. The Java

command invokes the Java Run-Time.

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

An industry standard for database-independent connectivity between the Java platform and relational databases

such as SQL/MP or SQL/MX. JDBC provides a call-level API for SQL-based database access.

Java Development Kit (JDK)

The Java virtual machine, core libraries, and tools for Java. For example, NonStop Server for Java, based on

Java™ 2 platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.4.1. For more information on the J2SE SDK 1.4.1, see the Sun

Microsystems JDK 1.4.1 Documentation.

Java Foundation Classes

See Core API.

Java HotSpot virtual machine

The Java virtual machine implementation designed to produce maximum program-execution speed for

applications running in a server environment. The Java HotSpot virtual machine is a run-time environment that

features an adaptive compiler that dynamically optimizes the performance of running applications. NonStop

Server for Java implements the Java HotSpot virtual machine.

Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)

A standard extension to the Java platform, which provides Java technology-enabled application programs with a

unified interface to multiple naming and directory services.

Java Native Interface (JNI)
