MySQL Connector/J is a native Java driver that converts JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) calls into the network protocol used by the MySQL database. MySQL Connector/J has been the most popular JDBC driver for MySQL, when it was known as "MM.MySQL". MySQL
Connector/J enters the MySQL product family with many improvements that have been requested by the Open Source community. The driver is now 50-100 percent faster in most situations than the previous version. It also creates fewer transient objects than before, leading to better performance andeven more stability. The driver now also supports "streaming" result sets, which allows users to retrieve large numbers of rows without using a large memory buffer. With newly added large-packet protocol support, the driver can send rows and BLOBs up to 2 gigabytes in size.
