Server-Side Basics

By using the Oracle JDBC server-side internal driver, code that runs in an Oracle database, such as in Java stored procedures or Enterprise JavaBeans, can access the database in which it runs.

For a complete discussion of the server-side driver, see "JDBC in the Server: the Server-Side Internal Driver".

Session and Transaction Context

The server-side internal driver operates within a default session and default transaction context. For more information on default session and transaction context for the server-side driver, see "Session and Transaction Context for the Server-Side Internal Driver".

Connecting to the Database

The server-side internal driver uses a default connection to the database. You can connect to the database with either the DriverManager.getConnection() method or the Oracle-specific OracleDriver class defaultConnection() method. For more information on connecting to the database with the server-side driver, see "Connecting to the Database with the Server-Side Internal Driver".
