Getting Started
The first thing you need to do is check that you are set up properly. This involves the
following steps:
1. Install Java and JDBC on your machine.
To install both the Java tm platform and the JDBC API, simply follow the
instructions for downloading the latest release of the JDK tm (Java
Development Kit tm ). When you download the JDK, you will get JDBC as
well. The sample code demonstrating the JDBC 1.0 API was written for
JDK1.1 and will run on any version of the Java platform that is compatible
with JDK1.1, including JDK1.2. Note that the sample code illustrating the
JDBC 2.0 API requires JDK1.2 and will not run on JDK1.1.
You can find the latest release (JDK1.2 at the time of this writing) at the
following URL:

2. Install a driver on your machine.
Your driver should include instructions for installing it. For JDBC
drivers written for specific DBMSs, installation consists of just
copying the driver onto your machine; there is no special
configuration needed.
The JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver is not quite as easy to set up. If
you download either the Solaris or Windows versions of JDK1.1,
you will automatically get the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, which
does not itself require any special configuration. ODBC, however,
does. If you do not already have ODBC on your machine, you will
need to see your ODBC driver vendor for information on
installation and configuration.
3. Install your DBMS if needed.
If you do not already have a DBMS installed, you will need to
follow the vendor's instructions for installation. Most users will
have a DBMS installed and will be working with an established
database.
