In this paper we have discussed different types of JDBC drivers under the context of a two-tier client/server model. However, it is entirely possible to use them to develop a multi-tier client/server application. The integration of web servers with database servers via the use of JAVA applets and JDBC drivers is useful for the teaching of database programming and web-based application development. The applet that we have developed, along with our experience of configuring the JDBC and JAVA environment, was used in a database course. Students built more complicated database/web applications on top of this sample applet. Future extension of our work may involve the following items: • the security implication of using JDBC drivers in a multiple, heterogeneous DBMS environment • the possible interaction of JDBC with firewalls and proxy servers • the evaluation of JDBC drivers under the context of real-world applications, especially their reliability and performance.
