The existing JDBC API leads to blocked threads, threads scheduling and contention; the advent of Java Fibers will alleviate those problems. However, for high throughput and reactive applications, the Java community needs an API for database access where user threads never block with back pressure support. This technical session presents an advance look at a possible new Java standard for accessing SQL databases. This new API is completely non-blocking and support reactive streams. It is not intended to be an extension to, or a replacement for JDBC. This session examines the API through code samples, discusses Fibers and the next steps.
