Summary

JDeveloper IDE provides a built-in Connections navigator to configure a connection with any relational database for which a JDBC driver is available. A connection configured in the Connections navigator is also available as a data source. In this chapter, we have configured a JDBC connection in JDeveloper with MySQL database using the MySQL Connector/J 5.1 JDBC 4.0 driver. We also created a managed data source in the OC4J embedded in JDeveloper and used the data source in a web application. Subsequently, we discussed the JDBC 4.0 version of the web application.
