Lee Fesperman is a software veteran who initially concentrated on Operating Systems and Programming Languages, implementing operating systems, compilers, interpreters and assemblers at IBM. In the mid 70s with the advent of Relational Technology, he began to move into the database arena. In the intervening years, he has implemented 3 complete RDBMSs, 2 with full SQL support. An important figure in relational database technology, he participated in the great "Null Debate" in the mid 90s and is a founder of the Database Debunkings site (http://www.dbdebunk.com), along with C. J. Date and Fabian Pascal. He authored a popular "SQL Tutorial" that is used by thousands of database developers worldwide and is a pioneer in ODBC drivers who participated in defining the ODBC 3.0 specification. He has developed JDBC Drivers for several leading database products and has built a number of database applications, working with many more leading database products
For Java developers, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is the only standard
interface to Database Management Systems (DBMSs). As JDBC has evolved, the
number of ways to connect have increased. JDBC 2 added capabilities for
compatibility with J2EE. JDBC 3 generalized the structure to support
Enterprise Information Systems (EISs) other than DBMSs, including messaging
services.
JDBC 3 introduced J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA). The initial release of
JCA (1.0) standardized interfaces to DBMSs for Application Servers. With JCA,
Application Servers can access a variety of DBMSs without DBMS-specific
coding. JCA also provides local and distributed transaction control, generic
deployment capabilities and access outside of DBMSs to general EISs.
Sun released the final spec on JCA 1.5 in Nov., '03. While adoption of 1.5
has been slow, it does round out JCA to a complete fa... (more)
