Chapter 7: ShardingSphere-JDBC Installation and Start-Up

If you have read Chapter 5, Exploring ShardingSphere Adaptors, or you are somewhat familiar with JDBCs, you may know that they are fairly straightforward and simple to include in your system.

Using ShardingSphere-JDBC won't require you to prepare any additional deployment or services, as you will only need to input the dependencies and configurations into the project. This chapter helps you do just that.

Thanks to this chapter, you will be able to set up and get started with using ShardingSphere-JDBC. Moreover, we have prepared a few bonuses that will provide you with the necessary items to be able to prepare your own custom sharding strategies, configuration, and more.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:

• Setup and configuration
• Configurations

By the end of the chapter, you'll be ready to start leveraging ShardingSphere-JDBC to take your system to the next level...
