#### To Set Up Database Access

1. Install a supported database product.

   For a list of supported databases, see Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Release Notes

2. Install a JDBC driver for the database.
3. Make the driver’s JAR file accessible to the domain’s server instance.

   See To integrate a JDBC driver.

4. Create the database.

   Usually, the application provider delivers scripts for creating and populating the database.

5. Create a connection pool for the database.

   See To create a JDBC connection pool.

6. Create a JDBC resource that points to the connection pool.

   See To create a JDBC resource.
