Awake SQL 1.2 Android Edition released: JDBC Access to Your Remote SQL Data on Android

Tired of writing/deploying/debugging Web Services for your Android applications? Access SQL data directly from Android without writing code on the server side!

Awake SQL 1.2 Android Edition is a virtual JDBC Driver for Android: you can now access your usual remote databases using JDBC from your Android applications. Just include your existing & non-modified JDBC calls in your Android application to read or write SQL data:

  String sql = "SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, FNAME, LNAME FROM CUSTOMER " +
      "WHERE CUSTOMER_ID = ?";
  PreparedStatement prepStatement = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
  prepStatement.setInt(1, 1);

  ResultSet rs = prepStatement.executeQuery();
  while (rs.next()) {
      String customerId = rs.getString("customer_id");
      String fname = rs.getString("fname");
      String lname = rs.getString("lname");
      // Etc.

The software library comes with a complete set of features: main data types are implemented, including blobs/clobs, and transactions are supported.

Major databases are supported:

• DB2.
• H2.
• HSQLDB (HyperSQL Database).
• Informix.
• Ingres.
• MySQL / MariaDB.
• Oracle Database.
• PostgreSQL.
• SQL Server.
• Sybase ASE.
• Sybase SQL Anywhere.
• Teradata Database.

Security was a major element as we designed this solution.  The remote databases are not accessed directly: all calls are filtered on the server side by authentication mechanisms and security rules.
