JDBC Limitations or Problems

• Changing DB Software is too complex since JDBC code is Database software dependent and is not at all portable. 
• Programmers need to convert Object notations to DB columns and visa versa. 
• Exception handling is mandatory and nothing is in built
• Versioning and time stamping are not provided out of the box. Need to program and handle them manually. 
• No proper transaction management support. 
• Does not support Object level relationships like we have table relationships.
• Too much boiler plate code (repeated code) needs to be written.
