This class contains public statics that map directly to the new public statics in the jdbc 4.0 interfaces. By providing an intermediary class with hard-coded copies of constants that will be available in jdbc 4.0, it becomes possible to refer to these constants when compiling against older jdk versions.

This class also contains some constants shared by the network server and client.

This class should not be shipped with the product.

This class has no methods, all it contains are constants are public, static and final since they are declared in an interface.
