Anjali Parameshwaran

Hi,

Anyone please help. I am stuck since past one week in Servlets. I had a question, if a tomcat server is installed, which drivers should i use to create database under tomcat server?

Help appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,
You need install driver as per database like sql, oracle or JNDI.

You can get details of different database drivers can be used in below link

Use JDBC Driver
JDBC provides an abstraction layer between Java applications and database servers, so that an application's code does not need to be altered in order for it to communicate with multiple database formats. Rather than connecting to the database directly, the applications send requests to the JDBC API, which in turn communicates with the specified database through a driver that converts the API calls into the proper dialect for the database to understand.
If a developer wishes to access two different database formats in the same program, they don't need to add any additional syntax to their code; they simply call two different JDBC drivers.
