Hi,

I would like to know that in JDBC Connection class why we are not creating it's object like

Connection con = new Connection();

instead of

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection();

bye

Connection is an Interface and you can not instantiate it

More specifically, the implementation of the Connection interface is provided by the JDBC driver.

JDBC uses the Dependency Injection pattern so that your code doesn't need to depend on the JDBC driver implementation.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
