Hi all.
[Quoted] My understanding is that JDBC is the Java equivalent of ODBC - i.e a generic standard for connecting to RDBMSs from Java.
Now, when developing with ODBC, it is generally the case that you could only use SQL92 SQL (unless of course you used SQLPASSTHROUGH). However, with JDBC, there doesn't seem to be any such restriction. It would appear that one can use any of the Oracle extensions (such as "decode" for example) as well as long and LOB datatypes.

How is this the case if JDBC is a "generic standard"?
