Fastest type of JDBC driver

Hi Vikas,


JDBC Type IV driver is the fastest driver because it converts the jdbc calls into vendor specific protocol calls and it directly interacts with the database.

This driver is also known as the native-protocol driver or thin driver of Oracle. In this driver the client and server API'S are written in java and the server Api uses the protocol of the DBMS for communication. Hence this driver is fully java driver and DBMS independent. It is also called as pure java driver.

Thanks
