JDBC driver installation on a supported platform (UNIX and Linux)

The client tools installation procedure of the IBM® Netezza® appliance copies the Java™ nzjdbc3.jar file, which contains the JDBC driver, into the nz/lib directory (usually the /usr/local/nz/lib directory).

After you install the driver, you must configure the data source. See Configuring the JDBC data source (UNIX and Linux).

After installation, when you run an application that tries to use JDBC, you are prompted for a value called Class Name. For the IBM Netezza driver, enter org.netezza.Driver.
