Scenario: A developer needs to create a web application that interacts with a DB2 database. Describe the role of JDBC in this integration scenario and its advantages over other integration methods.
- Avoid integration with DB2 altogether, opting for a NoSQL solution.
- Develop custom networking protocols for direct communication with the DB2 database.
- JDBC provides a standard interface for Java applications to interact with DB2 databases, facilitating connection establishment, SQL execution, and result retrieval.
- Use proprietary database APIs to achieve integration, ensuring better performance.
JDBC provides a standardized and platform-independent way for Java applications to interact with databases, including DB2, allowing for easier development, maintenance, and portability. Using proprietary APIs or custom networking protocols can lead to vendor lock-in and decreased maintainability. NoSQL solutions may not be suitable for scenarios requiring relational database features like ACID transactions.
