[edit] Open or closed?

Is this open or closed technology? It's a little complicated so hopefully someone knows more about it and would put this info in the article. --ShaunMacPherson 15:47, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] JDBC 4.0

JDBC 4.0 is becoming finalized in mid-2006 (supposedly). There will be a number of changes in both the implementation (pooling of connections, etc), and the api itself (the use of annotations). I don't see any mention of this in the JDBC article. I'd be happy to do it myself, but I don't have the time at this point, so I would appreciate any takers on this. If not, then I'll try to get around to it at some point later. --Andrew Eisenberg 18:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOT an acronym

JDBC does not stand for "Java Database Connectivity". This is a backronym. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/intro.html#1018464, first paragraph. The main page should be titled JDBC, with Java Database Connectivity redirecting to it. --Nambio 00:11, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
