> Why is no such JDBC driver already included in Android? Android does not support JDBC.
> Am I missing the big picture here? Android is designed to be used on devices with limited RAM, limited CPU, limited storage space for application code, and limited electricity (battery), to connect to local databases. JDBC is designed to be used on devices with lots of RAM, lots of CPU speed, comparatively unlimited storage space for application code, full-time AC power, to connect to local databases and database servers. > Why would you not want to interface the built-in SQLite engine > through JDBC? You lose performance, battery life, and on-board storage space, all of which are in short supply in an Android device. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
