History and Implementation
Sun Microsystems released JDBC as part of JDK 1.1 on February 19, 1997. It has since formed part of the Java Standard Edition.
The JDBC classes are contained in the Java package java.sql and javax.sql.
Starting with version 3.1, JDBC has been developed under the Java Community Process. JSR 54 specifies JDBC 3.0 (included in J2SE 1.4), JSR 114 specifies the JDBC Rowset additions, and JSR 221 is the specification of JDBC 4.0 (included in Java SE 6).
The latest version, JDBC 4.1, is specified by a maintenance release of JSR 221 and is included in Java SE 7.

Famous quotes containing the words history and and/or history:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
