A Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) resource (data source) provides applications with the means of connecting to a database.
To create a JDBC resource, you must first create a JDBC connection pool. See To Create a JDBC Connection Pool.
The JDBC Resources page opens.
The New JDBC Resource page opens.
The J.N.D.I. name organizes and locates components within a distributed computing environment similarly to the way that card catalogs organize and represent locations of books in a library. Consequently, the J.N.D.I. name becomes an important method of accessing the JDBC resource. By convention, the name begins with the jdbc/ string, for example, jdbc/payrolldb. Don’t forget the forward slash.
Name must contain only alphanumeric, underscore, dash, or dot characters.
By default, the resource is available (enabled) when it is created.
