Summary

Add support for JDBC 4.5, which is a maintenance release to the JDBC specification

Problem

Add a targeted set of features that were requested by several JDBC driver vendors

Solution

The JDBC 4.5 MR will provide the following updates to the JDBC specification:

• Deprecate SQLPermission for removal

• Enhance the Blob/Clob/Array/SQLXML/NClob interfaces to extend/support AutoClosable

• Add the SQL types DECFLOAT, JSON to Types.Java and JDBCType.java

• Add the quoted identifier methods that were added previously to the Statement interface in JDK 9 to the Connection interface

  • This is exact same verbiage & default methods used when these methods were added to the Statement interface

• Clarify the Timestamp::hashCode method which incorrectly indicates that nanos are not used when calculating the hash
