Briefly tell about the JDBC Architecture

The JDBC Architecture consists of two layers:

1.The JDBC API
2.The JDBC Driver API

• The JDBC API provides the application-JDBC Manager connection.

• The JDBC Driver API supports the JDBC Manager-to-Driver Connection.

• The JDBC API interacts with a driver manager, database-specific driver for providing transparent connectivity for the heterogeneous databases. 

• The JDBC driver manager authenticates that the correct driver has been used to access each data source.

• The driver manager supports multiple concurrent drivers connected to the multiple heterogeneous databases.
