Package org.firebirdsql.gds
This package contains classes defining Firebird API for Java language
that applications can use to access databases directly without JDBC
interfaces.
ClassFactory | Returns classes either by the Class.forName method or by using
an already cached instance. |
GDSException | A GDS-specific exception
|
GDSExceptionHelper | This class is supposed to return messages for the specified error code. |
GDSExceptionHelper.GDSMessage | This class wraps message template obtained from isc_error_msg.properties
file and allows to set parameters to the message. |
GDSObjectFactory | Creates gds objects. |
ISCConstants | The interface GDS has most of the C client interface functions
lightly mapped to java, as well as the constants returned from the server.. |
XSQLDA | The class XSQLDA is a java mapping of the XSQLDA server
data structure used to represent one row for input and output. |
XSQLVAR | The class XSQLDA is a java mapping of the XSQLVAR server
data structure used to represent one column for input and output. |
This package contains classes defining Firebird API for Java language
that applications can use to access databases directly without JDBC
interfaces. This is probably most efficient way to access the database,
however also it is the most complicated one and requires deep knowledge
of the Firebird API. For better understanding please refer to the
"InterBase 6 API Guide" published by Borland and released together with
the open-sourcing the InterBase code, a predecessor of Firebird.
All database related operations are performed by an instance of the
org.firebirdsql.gds.GDS
interface,
which simultaneously acts as a factory for all needed data structures.
Each database operation defined in the
org.firebirdsql.gds.GDS
interface throws an instance of
org.firebirdsql.gds.GDSException
if database server returned an error for that operation. All constants needed
by those operations are defined in a
org.firebirdsql.gds.ISCConstants
class and are duplicated in corresponding data structures.
Please refer to the documentation in the javadoc comments as well as
to the source code for more information.
