1.1 Scope:
         The document describes standards specific to database while developing products that are database independent. It is meant for use by the designers and developers. Presently the document is in the initial stage and will undergo a lot of improvements. This document is the outcome of the experience while developing the database independent version of 2ndLook product. Since HSS will be developing products for Internet/Intranet and that Java is one of the languages used for development, the document also covers Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).
