The purpose of these release notes is to make you aware of any special actions required to configure and use the IBM Informix JDBC Driver on your computer. This file also describes new features and feature differences from earlier versions of this product and other IBM Informix products and how these differences affect current products. In addition, this file contains information about known bugs and their workarounds. This release notes document is not intended to be all-inclusive; it should be used as an addendum to the IBM Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide, Version 2.21, which provides thorough information about product features and behavior. These release notes are written for Java programmers who use the JDBC API to connect to IBM Informix databases via the IBM Informix JDBC Driver.
IBM Informix JDBC Driver 2.21 is compatible with the following server versions:
To use the IBM Informix JDBC Driver directly, you must have a JDK 1.2 (or later) package on your platform. Please refer to http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/ for details.
IBM Informix JDBC Driver Version 2.21 includes new features, each of which is fully documented in the IBM Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide.
Except for the pickaseat demo, the examples listed in the IBM
Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide, Version 2.21, use the DriverManager.getConnection()
method to get a database connection. Sun Microsystems recommends using a
DataSource object instead. For more information, refer to the Sun documentation
and to the README.TXT file in the
