11.5.5 includes the following enhancements and new capabilities for the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and
SQLJ:
| Enhancement | Description |
|---|---|
| JDBC 4.3 specification API support | JCC supports new APIs from JDBC 4.3 specification with this release. JCC driver is built with JDK 1.8, so the JDBC 4.3 specification classes added newly in JDK 1.9 or higher are not supported in JCC. Hence, JDBC 4.3 specification support in JCC driver is partial to some extent. |
| OpenJDK 13 runtime support | JCC driver now supports OpenJDK 13 as the runtime environment for the application migration. Applications using JCC can migrate to OpenJDK 13. |
| Odata enhancement | Odata is enhanced to display data from both views and materialized query tables (MQT). |
