Using customer-specific JDBC drivers

ION provides JDBC connectivity for databases such as SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, and DB2/400. You can also use a different database, if it meets these requirements:

• The database must support JDBC.
• If you use the database in an application connection point, the database must provide the in-box and outbox tables.
• If you use the database in a database connection point, the database must provide the functionality required for database connectivity.

  See Database Connection point

• A driver jar file is available for the database. You cannot use multiple files, such as multiple jar files or a jar file combined with a zip file. In such cases, you must first create a single, flattened, jar file to be used in ION.
