JDBC is an application programming interface for standard SQL for accessing the database from Java programs. Using the JDBC API, one can write application programs that can be run in different DBMS's supporting the JDBC interface.
In this thesis, we design and implement a JDBC driver for the ODYSSEUS object-oriented/object-relational database management system. Our JDBC driver has the followings characteristics: (1) By implementing the common part in the JDBC driver and the ODBC driver using the same structure, it is made easy to develop an ODBC driver later. (2) By executing the fetch of query result from the database simultaneously with using that result, it provides fast access to the database.
