Connecting to a Cache (InterSystems) Database using Java

I'm currently creating an android application and need to connect to a InterSystems cache (ODBC) database, this is the first time I have developed for android and have never connected to a database in java in the past, any help will be appreciated.

Solution

  • For Android development, I would highly recommend to use web services or Rest instead of ODBC. But there is a standard JDBC Java documentation (not sure if it will work in Android at all though):

    You can also have a look at newer Zen Mobile framework designed specially for iOS/Android Cache development, ask for a copy in WRC
