Type 4 Driver API Package
The Type 4 driver package, com.tandem.t4jdbc, is shipped with the driver software. For class and
method descriptions, see the NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver API Reference manual in the NonStop
Technical Library.
The HP NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver (hereafter, Type 4 driver) implements JDBC technology that
conforms to the standard JDBC 3.0 Data Access API. This driver enables Java applications to use HP
NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0 to access NonStop SQL databases.
To obtain detailed information on the standard JDBC API, you should download the JDBC API
documentation provided by Sun Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html).
Type 4 Driver Architecture
Client Platforms Supported
Accessing a Database with the Type 4 Driver
The Type 4 driver uses JDBC 3.0 standard functionality to allow Java clients access to NonStop SQL/MX
from client platforms.
The Type 4 driver requires these products on the NonStop server: the HP NonStop SQL Connectivity
Service (MXCS) and NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0, which both require the HP NonStop Open System
Services (OSS) environment.
The SQL/MX Connectivity Service (MXCS) must be running on the NonStop system. For more
information, see the HP NonStop SQL/MX Connectivity Service Manual.
