## PointBase Type 4 Driver

The PointBase JDBC driver is included with the Application Server by default, except for the Solaris bundled installation, which does not include PointBase. Therefore, unless you have the Solaris bundled installation, you do not need to integrate this JDBC driver with the Application Server.

PointBase is intended for evaluation use only, not for production or deployment use.

The JAR file for the PointBase driver is `pbclient.jar`.

Configure the connection pool using the following settings:

- Name: Use this name when you configure the JDBC resource later.

- Resource Type: Specify the appropriate value.

- Database Vendor: `PointBase`

- DataSource Classname:Specify one of the following:

      com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcDataSource
      com.pointbase.xa.xaDataSource

- Properties:

  - `user` - Specify the database user.

  - `password` - Specify the database password.

  - `databaseName` - Specify the URL of the database. The syntax is as follows:

        jdbc:pointbase:server://server:port/dbname,new
