Informix classes that extend the JDBC specification
To support the HCL Informix® implementation of SQL statements and data types, Informix JDBC Driver provides classes that extend the supported JDBC specification (see Java™ software development kit). The following table lists the Java classes and the Informix classes that application programs can use to extend them.
