JDBC Driver for SQL/MX Programmer's Reference

autocommit mode
A mode in which a JDBC driver automatically commits a transaction without the
programmer's calling commit().
B
base table
A table that has physical existence: that is, a table stored in a file.
BLOB
Short for Binary Large OBject, a collection of binary data stored as a single entity in a
database management system. These entities are primarily used to hold multimedia
objects such as images, videos, and sound. They can also be used to store programs or
even fragments of code. A Java Blob object (Java type, java.sql.Blob) corresponds
to the SQL BLOB data type.
branded
A Java virtual machine that Sun Microsystems, Inc. has certified as conformant.
browser
A program that allows you to read hypertext. The browser gives some means of viewing

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 virtual machine 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).
The JDBC/MX driver programs are in
/usr/tandem/jdbcMX/current/lib/jdbcMx.jar. You can set the class path
explicitly or with the CLASSPATH environment variable.
CLOB
Short for Character Large OBject, text data stored as a single entity in a database
