Java – the JDBC equivalent to query an IBM Domino data store

javajdbclotus-dominolotus-notes

I need to query an IBM Domino data store that was populated using Lotus Notes from within a Java application. I am hoping that IBM followed the JDBC design pattern so that I can implement similarly to what I have done to get data from Oracle. Where should I start?

I am aware that IBM does not support JDBC for Domino. What I need is an equivalent.

Best Solution

Searching Google for "java lotus notes jdbc" yields this note from IBM:

Question
Is Lotus® Domino® Driver for JDBC (LDDJ) supported on current versions of IBM® Lotus Notes® and Lotus Domino?

Answer
IBM no longer provides a Notes JDBC driver since Java developers may utilize the Notes.jar to make API calls into Notes databases. The Notes JDBC driver is no longer provided nor supported.

Java – What are the differences between a HashMap and a Hashtable in Java

There are several differences between HashMap and Hashtable in Java:

Hashtable is synchronized, whereas HashMap is not. This makes HashMap better for non-threaded applications, as unsynchronized Objects typically perform better than synchronized ones.
Hashtable does not allow null keys or values. HashMap allows one null key and any number of null values.
One of HashMap's subclasses is LinkedHashMap, so in the event that you'd want predictable iteration order (which is insertion order by default), you could easily swap out the HashMap for a LinkedHashMap. This wouldn't be as easy if you were using Hashtable.

Since synchronization is not an issue for you, I'd recommend HashMap. If synchronization becomes an issue, you may also look at ConcurrentHashMap.
