JDBC means Java DataBase Connectivity. JDBC is a Java API that is used to connect and execute query to the database. JDBC API uses jdbc drivers to connects to the database.
What before JDBC used ?
Before JDBC, ODBC API(Open DataBase Connectivity) was used to connect and execute query to the database. But ODBC API uses ODBC driver that is written in C language which is plateform dependent and unsecured. That is why Sun Microsystem has defined its own API (JDBC API) that uses JDBC driver written in Java language.
What is API ?
API (Application programming interface) is a document that contains description of all the features of a product or software. It represents classes and interfaces that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. An API can be created for applications, libraries, operating systems etc
