4D Releases Free JDBC Driver for Java-based Connectivity.

New driver adds ease of development and standardisation to support for Java integration.

18th March 2004, Wilmslow, UK.

4D UK, manufacturers of the award-winning 4D Product Line, announced today the immediate release of the 4D JDBC driver, a robust driver that provides an easy and standard way for developers working with the Java programming language to access 4D databases.

Developers can utilise the 4D JDBC driver to exchange data between any Java-based application with JDBC connectivity and a 4D Server 2003 database. No programming is required.

" 4D is committed to providing developers with the tools they need for greater flexibility in accessing data from 4D databases," said Rob Wylie, 4D UK's General Manager. "This release simplifies and standardises our support for Java integration with 4D Server 2003, giving Java developers the option to create enterprise applications, applets or servlets to interact with 4D Server 2003."

Full Type 4 JDBC functionality allows the Java developer to flexibly use 4D Server JDBC Driver within servlets or client applets. An extremely small footprint ensures fast applet deployment and application access.

The 4D JDBC driver is based on JDBC 3. In addition to the driver, 4D JDBC also includes the source code enabling developers to add their own custom API's if necessary.

The 4D JDBC driver can run on any platform where a Java Run Time environment is available and can connect to 4D Server 2003 on Windows or Mac OS platforms.

The 4D JDBC driver is available today free from http://www.4d.com/products/downloads_4d.html.
