Neoview JDBC Type 4 Driver Programmer's Reference (R2.2, R2.3, R2.4, R2.5)

U
Unicode A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII. By using 16 bits for each
character (rather than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of every language
and many symbols (such as "&") in an internationally standard way, eliminating the complexity
of incompatible extended character sets and code pages. Unicode's first 128 codes correspond
to those of standard ASCII.
uniform resource
locator (URL)
A draft standard for specifying an object on a network (such as a file, a newsgroup, or, with
JDBC, a database). URLs are used extensively on the World Wide Web. HTML documents use
them to specify the targets of hyperlinks.
URL See uniform resource locator (URL).
V
virtual machine
(VM)
A self-contained operating environment that behaves as if it is a separate computer. See also
Java virtual machine.
