This edition (part number 529777-001) of the HP JDBC Driver for SQL/MX Programmer's Reference is an update to
the manual about using the JDBC/MX V32 driver. (This edition is the second edition documenting the JDBC/MX V32
product.) This edition replaces the previous edition, part number 527400-003.
For your convenience, if you are migrating from the JDBC/MX V31 driver, this edition contains new and changed
information published for the JDBC/MX V32 productcombining changes described in both the first, and, now this
second edition.

The JDBC/MX driver is now available on NonStop NS-series servers (referred to as TNS/E systems) as
the product, HP JDBC Driver for SQL/MX H10. For specific information about the JDBC/MX driver on
this platform, see Installation Requirements and Verifying the JDBC/MX Driver.
The JDBC Driver for SQL/MX API documentation was removed from this manual and is available in the
NonStop Technical Library in a separate manual called HP NonStop JDBC Driver for SQL/MX API
Reference. The API is based on the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.4.2.
A new ISO88591 property controls character set mapping when accessing and writing to ISO88591
columns. For details, see ISO88591 Property.
A new transactionMode property provides control over how and when transactions are performed. For
details, see transactionMode Property.
Information was added about reserving data locators. For details, see Reserving Data Locators.
Complete working samples of programs for accessing BLOB and CLOB data were added in Appendix A.
In addition, the sample code for working with BLOB and CLOB data was improved for these topics:
Writing ASCII or Unicode Data to a CLOB Column, Inserting CLOB Data by Using the
PreparedStatement Interface, Reading ASCII Data from a CLOB Column, Reading Unicode Data from a
CLOB Column, Inserting a BLOB Column by Using the Blob Interface, Writing Binary Data to a BLOB
Column, Inserting a BLOB Column by Using the PreparedStatement Interface, and Reading Binary Data
from a BLOB Column.
The -unicode option was added to the prog-options of the JdbcMxLobAdmin command. This
option allows the creation of LOB tables that have UCS2 character-set columns for CLOB data. For more
information, see prog_options.
