2. About DataDirect Shadow for JDBC
========================================================================
DataDirect Shadow for JDBC is a Type 4 driver, providing JDBC access
through any Java-enabled applet, application, or application server. It
delivers high-performance point-to-point and n-tier access to industry-
leading data stores across the Internet and Intranets. This driver is
optimized for the Java environment, allowing you to incorporate Java
technology and extend the functionality and performance of your
existing system.
This driver can only be used with version 6 and 7 of the Shadow Server.
========================================================================
3. Product Documentation
========================================================================
For detailed information about DataDirect Shadow for JDBC, refer to
the "DataDirect Shadow for JDBC User's Guide and Reference."
All DataDirect Shadow documentation is located at:
http://communities.progress.com/pcom/docs/DOC-105271
========================================================================
4. Removing Shadow Driver Components
========================================================================
The recommended method for removing particular Shadow Driver components
is to uninstall the Shadow Driver and re-install only the required
components.
Note: Installing a smaller component set without uninstalling the
existing Shadow Driver components will not remove any
components. To create a smaller "footprint", you must
uninstall the Shadow Driver (thus removing all Shadow Driver
components) and re-install just the required components.
========================================================================
