The client-side component, the CodeBase JDBC Driver, is a pure Java, JDBC 2.1 driver capable of connecting from Java applets or JDBC-enabled applications. It can connect to the server-side component over Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), Intranets or the Internet. It is installed on your users' workstations (of any platform, including UNIX, Windows and Mac), although the most common setup is a PC running a Java-enabled web browser.
