APIs

You can use standard database APIs, such as ODBC and JDBC, to develop GaussDB-based applications.

Supported APIs

Each application is an independent GaussDB development project. APIs alleviate applications from directly operating in databases, and enhance the database portability, extensibility, and maintainability. Table 1 lists the APIs supported by GaussDB and the download addresses.

How to Obtain

ODBC

JDBC
  • Driver: GaussDB-Kernel_VxxxRxxxCxx-xxxxx-64bit-Jdbc.tar.gz
  • Driver: com.huawei.opengauss.jdbc.Driver

The JDBC and ODBC APIs are used to connect to the database remotely. Therefore, you need to configure a remote connection in GaussDB. Contact an administrator for related operations.

For details about more APIs, see Application Development Guide.
