You can use JDBC connections to connect to databases with a JDBC Type 4 driver.
JDBC Connector uses the JDBC Specification 3.0 Java API and Type 4 Database Protocol Driver. JDBC supports multiple platforms.
You can use the JDBC Connector to connect to the following databases:
•IBM DB2
•Microsoft SQL Server
•MySQL
•Oracle
•PostgreSQL
Note: JDBC Connector extends generic connectivity to databases that Informatica does not have access to through the Informatica Application Integration native connectors. When you use JDBC Connector, Informatica does not guarantee that the functionality or performance might be equivalent to what you expect when you use the Informatica Application Integration native connectors. The database that you want to connect to might not have been tested or certified for use with JDBC Connector and you might experience connection or execution issues.
