public class JDBCAdaptor

extends EOAdaptor

JDBCAdaptor is a concrete subclass of EOAdaptor that use JDBC for connecting to a database. It can be customized for a particular database and JDBC driver by using a JDBCPlugIn. Application code rarely needs to interact directly with an adaptor and should not normally use adaptor-specific API. All the useful API resides in EOAdaptor and the other generic EOAccess framework classes.
