JDBC Driver for SQL/MX Programmer's Reference

A limitation was added on the names of base tables that have CLOB or BLOB columns as described under
Limitations of the CLOB and BLOB Data Types.
❍
The CHAR data type is now supported by the java.sql.PreparedStatement.setBytes(int
ColumnIndex, bytes[] x) method and java.sql.ResultSet.getBytes(int
ColumnIndex) method.
❍
Added the following methods as deviating from the standard API:
java.sql.ResultSetMetaData.getPrecision(int column)
java.sql.ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize(int column)
For more information, see Deviations.
❍
Changes added to the previous edition part number 527400-003
The JDBC/MX V32 driver updates the V31 driver to rebase the JDBC/MX driver product on HP NonStop
Server for Java based on the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, SDK 1.4.2. Therefore, the JDBC API for
V32 is based on J2SE SDK 1.4.2 where V31 was based on J2SE SDK 1.4.1.
❍
The Migration section has been updated and includes migration information from JDBC/MX V30 and
V31 product versions.
❍
The Transactions Involving Blob and Clob Access topic contains updated information.❍
The Messages section has new messages added and several messages corrected and deleted. Also, the
messages from the JNI side of the JDBC/MX driver are renumbered.

JDBC API to access SQL databases with NonStop SQL/MX.
This document assumes you are already familiar with NonStop Server for Java 4—the Java implementation for use in
enterprise Java applications on HP NonStop servers. NonStop Server for Java 4 is based on the reference Java
implementation for Solaris, licensed by HP from Sun Microsystems, Inc. The NonStop Server for Java 4 is a
conformant version of a Sun Microsystems SDK, for example, NonStop Server for Java, based on Java 2 Platform,
Standard Edition, SDK 1.4.2.
