Chapter 1 Overview of MySQL Connector/J MySQL provides connectivity for client applications developed in the Java programming language with MySQL Connector/J, a driver that implements the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdbc/index.htm l). MySQL Connector/J is a JDBC Type 4 driver. Different versions are available that are compatible with the JDBC 3.0 and JDBC 4.x specifications (see Chapter 2, "Connector/J Versions"). The Type 4 designation means that the driver is a pure Java implementation of the MySQL protocol and does not rely on the MySQL client libraries. Fo
