JDBC is a core API of Java 1.1 and later. It provides a standard set of interfaces to SQL-compliant databases.

Postgres provides a type 4 JDBC Driver. Type 4 indicates that the driver is written in Pure Java, and communicates in the database system's own network protocol. Because of this, the driver is platform independent; once compiled, the driver can be used on any system.

This chapter is not intended as a complete guide to JDBC programming, but should help to get you started. For more information refer to the standard JDBC API documentation. Also, take a look at the examples included with the source. The basic example is used here.

As has been mentioned above, the implementations are provided by the database vendors like for example, the classes12.jar of oracle which has the implementations.
