About the SAS Drivers for JDBC

The SAS drivers for JDBC implement data access interfaces that conform to the JDBC API (application programming interface) from Oracle.
  • The SAS/SHARE driver for JDBC supports multi-user, forward-only access to Base SAS and Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server data via the SAS/SHARE server.
  • The SAS Integration Technologies IOM driver for JDBC supports multi-user, scrollable access to Base SAS data via a SAS Workspace Server. If you have licensed one or more SAS/ACCESS engines, you can also use the IOM driver to access third-party relational data.
The SAS drivers for JDBC are native-protocol, fully Java technology-enabled drivers. They directly convert JDBC technology calls into the network protocol that is used by the underlying data sources. The conversion enables client machines to make direct calls to the data servers.
