JDBC Drivers | Oracle Indonesia

Whether on the cloud or on-premises, developing Java applications with Oracle Autonomous Databases is fast and simple. Java developers can take advantage of the latest features, such as Oracle Autonomous Database, performance self-tuning, high availability, in-memory processing, and pluggable databases to design and develop a high performant, scalable, and reliable applications. The Oracle JDBC key capabilities that were added over the many releases are listed below.

Java Standards and Frameworks	Supports JDK8, JDK11, JDK17, JDK19, and JDK21 and implements JDBC 4.2 and JDBC 4.3 by ojdbc11.jar (23ai, 21c) and ojdbc10.jar (19c). Universal Connection Pool (ucp.jar) for Java applications, Oracle R2DBC driver v1.1.1 implementing R2DBC SPI, GraalVM Native Image support in the JDBC driver, Virtual Threads (Project Loom), Asynchronous Extension to Universal Connection Pool, JDBC Reactive Extensions - A set of methods that extend the JDBC standard to offer asynchronous database access, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Toolkit for IntelliJ v1.0.1
