Java Manual 
Purpose
This documentation describes the MaxDB JDBC driver and the MaxDB Java classes.
This documentation does not describe the Sun Java platform. You can find information on Java at java.sun.com.
You can use the
MaxDB JDBC driver and the MaxDB Java classes to integrate MaxDB database
instances in Java applications. The MaxDB JDBC driver and the MaxDB Java
classes can be used on all 
operating systems
supported by the database system.
Implementation
The MaxDB JDBC
driver and the MaxDB Java classes are contained in the software component
JDBC
(see Installation
Manual, Software
Components). You can find more information on where to obtain the MaxDB
software in the section Download.
You install the software component JDBC on the computer which has the Java application on it. After installation, you can find the JDBC driver and the MaxDB Java classes in the sapdbc.jar file in the <independent_program_path>\runtime\jar\ directory.
C:\Program Files\sdb\programs\runtime\jar\sapdbc.jar
To use this documentation effectively, you require a thorough working knowledge of the Java programming language and the JDBC specification (see java.sun.com/products/jdbc).
For more
information about the database system, see Concepts of the
Database System. For quick access to all documentation and an explanation
of the most important terms, use the alphabetical Glossary.
Integration
You require a Java platform (see java.sun.com). You add the path for the sapdbc.jar to the CLASSPATH environment tables so that the Java platform can find the MaxDB JDBC driver and the MaxDB Java classes.
