Why? Well, a similar thing is done in the JBoss app server for example. You specify parameters for your database connections in a JBoss config file and JBoss will then make a datasource available to clients via JNI.<br />
This is a good thing because you can then change all your aspects of your database connections (connection pooling, timeouts,...) in a single file without having to make code changes.

The reason is b/c I was thinking of playing with python and they dont have any free sql server drivers like free jtds. &nbsp;So if i can connect to it via jni it would be great.

I've been trying to figure out if a JDBC Connection can be passed via jni? &nbsp;My C program will call the JNI interface to connect and it will return JDBC Connection back to my C program. &nbsp;Can this be done? &nbsp;<br />

JNI and JDBC Connections

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
