Overview of Informix JDBC Driver

 Informix JDBC Driver is a native-protocol, pure-Java driver (Type 4). This means that when you use Informix JDBC Driver in a Java program that uses the JDBC API to connect to an Informix database, your session connects directly to the database or database server without a middle tier.

Informix JDBC Driver is based on Version 1.22 of the JDBC API.

Informix JDBC Driver is released as a Java class file called setup.class. For instructions on how to install the driver, refer to "Installing the Driver".

The product (after installation) consists of the following files, some of which are Java archive (JAR) files:

    JAR file that contains the optimized implementations of the JDBC API interfaces, classes, and methods.

    Debug version of ifxjdbc.jar.

    demo/rmi/*

    Directory that contains the on-line release and documentation notes, as well as the HTML and PDF versions of this programmer's guide.
