JDBC Overview

JDBC is a Java API that allows Java programs to connect to databases using database-specific drivers. It provides portable access to various databases and supports SQL statements like CRUD operations and stored procedures. The JDBC architecture uses drivers provided by database vendors and third parties to convert JDBC calls into database-specific calls and connect Java applications to databases based on a connection string. The key JDBC API classes allow establishing connections, executing statements, and processing result sets.
