Preface

The Oracle Universal Connection Pool (UCP) for JDBC is a full-featured connection pool for managing database connections. Java applications that are database-intensive use the connection pool to improve performance and better utilize system resources.

The instructions in this guide detail how to use the UCP for JDBC API and cover a wide range of use cases. The guide does not provide detailed information about using Oracle JDBC Drivers, Oracle Database, or SQL except as required to understand UCP for JDBC.

Audience

This guide is primarily written for Application Developers and System Architects who want to learn how to use UCP for JDBC to create and manage database connections for their Java applications. Users must be familiar with Java and JDBC to use this guide. Knowledge of Oracle Database concepts (such as Oracle RAC and ONS) is required when using some UCP for JDBC features.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to all users, including users that are disabled. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/.
