The database services provides a common and easy-to-use interface to access relational databases through services that use the Java(TM) standard JDBC interface. It does not provide JDBC drivers, but these are available from database vendors.

All database services use a specific format (HashtableFormat) to build records that the service object places in the database and format the data returned from a query into the process context when there is a single record in the response. Some database services in the toolkit also use another specific format, HashtableIndexedCollectionFormat, to update the process context when the result of a query to the database is a set of records.
