All Known Implementing Classes:
AutoAdapter, DB2Adapter, DerbyAdapter, FirebirdAdapter, FrontBaseAdapter, H2Adapter, HSQLDBAdapter, HSQLDBNoSchemaAdapter, IngresAdapter, JdbcAdapter, MySQLAdapter, OpenBaseAdapter, Oracle8Adapter, OracleAdapter, PostgresAdapter, SQLiteAdapter, SQLServerAdapter, SybaseAdapter
public interface DbAdapter
A Cayenne extension point that abstracts the differences between specifics of JDBC interfaces to various databases. Cayenne already ships with a number of built-in adapters for most common databases and users can provide their own custom adapters.
