You can use Hybrid Data Pipeline to provide access to data stores for packaged applications and custom applications. Packaged applications define their own way of specifying a JDBC connection. However, the JDBC URL for packaged applications will be identical to the URL you would use in a custom application.

Once the Hybrid Data Pipeline Driver for JDBC is installed and configured, you can connect from a custom application to a Hybrid Data Pipeline Data Source in either of the following ways:

  • Using the JDBC Driver Manager, by specifying the connection URL in the DriverManager.getConnection() method. See Connecting using the JDBC Driver Manager for more information.
  • Creating a JDBC data source that can be accessed through the Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI). See Connecting using JDBC data sources for sample code that you can use as a template for creating and using your own JDBC data sources.
