General Steps for Setting Up Database Access

  1. Install a supported database product. For a list of database products supported by the Application Server, see the link to the Release Notes in the section Further Information.
  2. Install a JDBC driver for the database product.
  3. Make the driver’s JAR file accessible to the domain’s server instance. See Integrating a JDBC Driver.
  4. Create the database. Usually, the application provider delivers scripts for creating and populating the database.
  5. Create a connection pool for the database. See Creating a JDBC Connection Pool.
  6. Create a JDBC resource that points to the connection pool. See Creating a JDBC Resource.
