Glossary of Terms

Java Database Connectivity
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a programming interface that lets developers using the Java programming language gain access to a wide range of databases and other data sources, either directly or through middle-ware. By using the JDBC programming interface, Java programmers can request a connection with a database, then send query statements using SQL and receive the results for processing. JDBC handles the actual connection, sending queries and data to and from the database.

JSP
