This article focuses on what a JDBC driver is and how to open and safely close database connections. The next articles talk about executing SQL statements and using connection pools. The source code is available on GitHub with each part in independent Maven projects.
For example, in the case of MariaDB (a multi-purpose database), the JDBC driver is MariaDB Connector/J. You have to download the JAR file that contains the driver and add it to your Java project. If you are using Maven, you can add the dependency to the pom.xml file. When you search for the JDBC driver of the database you want, use the latest version of the driver if possible. This way you’ll get the latest security patches, performance improvements, and features.
