About Question enthuware.ocpjp.v8.2.1367 :

Should this question not at least say that it is talking about JDBC 4.0?
I assumed it was "safer" to call Class.forName before DriverManager.getConnection because it does not say what JDBC version it is.
And as far as I know Class.forName can be called anyway, and does not hurt.

For the purpose of this exam, you need to assume that it is talking about JDBC 4.
Yes, calling forName does not hurt. But it is not a must, which is what the question is asking about.

This exam is validated against Java SE 8. This is mentioned in Official exam page.
Java SE 8 uses JDBC 4.

So, if the JDBC version is not specified, then we need to assume that it is JDBC 4. This information is not stated in the official exam page and I needed to make sure if this is an official information or just an assumption of yours (no offence :) ). Thank you for your suupport

Yes, JDBC questions appearing on the exam require you to know JDBC 4 specific features (such as loading of driver). This also shows that JDBC 4 is the default for this exam.
Official exam page says Java SE 8. JDBC is part of Java SE and SE 8 uses JDBC 4. So, there is no confusion in our mind.
