Title: Jsp native database functions

JDBC will create connectivity (sort of communication chanel) between your app and DB. Any SQL statement that is acceptable by your DB can be executed including (create tables/sequences/constraints)

Subject: Jsp native database functions

In JSP I usually use JDBC.  But if I want to do database specific things like create tables/sequences/constraints/, alter objects, drop tables, etc; I don't think JDBC can do that.  Does JSP allow you to use any database specific functions at all?

For example, if you were to program in PHP, when you install PHP you can compile it with MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle clients on the web server.  This allows you to not only use ODBC/JDBC, but you can also use database specific functions.

Is there anything comparable in JSP?

Am I clear enough on  what I'm asking?

Thank you for your time!!!
