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 JDBC connections in synchronization tasks, mappings, and mapping tasks to connect to sources, targets, and lookups. You can access tables, views, and synonyms.
You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
Note: JDBC Connector extends generic connectivity to databases that Informatica does not have access to through the Informatica Cloud Data 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 Cloud Data 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.
