Regarding Database Independence

[Ravi Shankar]

Hi all,

I have an application which retrieves data from Oracle database. How can I
make the application generic in such a way that it can take data from LDAP
server?

Thanks and regards,
Ravi

ravi,
you might want to look at the following link :
http://www.openldap.org/jdbcldap/
The JDBC-LDAP Bridge Driver (JDBC-LDAP) enable you to create Java
applications that can access information held in directories. The driver
should appeal to Java developers who prefer to use SQL and JDBC.

Ravi:
create an abstract super class DBConnection where you declare all methods.
then create implementations for each db-type (oracle...) you want to connect
to.

this way you have db-indepencency...
