DatabaseLink Technology

DatabaseLink is based on the commonly used Java database connectivity (JDBC) technology, http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/. The package makes extensive use of the Mathematica Java toolkit J/Link http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/mathlink/jlink/, though no Java programming is required. The Database Explorer uses the Mathematica Graphical User Interface toolkit GUIKit, http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/guikit.

DatabaseLink comes with a selection of drivers for a number of databases. If it does not include a driver for your database, you have to install your own driver, as described in the documentation.
