Integration Server 10.5 | WmDB User’s Guide | Determining Whether to Use the WmDB Package or the Adapter for JDBC | Overview
 
Overview
webMethods products provide two methods for accessing databases:
*WmDB package to use for prototyping, design, or temporary database access.
*webMethods Adapter for JDBC to use for all enterprise, mission-critical applications.
This appendix describes use cases to help you determine when to use the WmDB package and when to use the Adapter for JDBC.
Important:
The WmDB package has been deprecated. When developing new applications, use the Adapter for JDBC instead of the WmDB package. The Adapter for JDBC provides more functionality, improved performance, and supports adapter notifications. For more information about the Adapter for JDBC, see the webMethods Adapter for JDBC Installation and User’s Guide .
