Database Programming With Jdbc And Java

Java and databases make a powerful combination. Getting the two sides to work together, however, takes some effort–largely because Java deals in objects while most databases do not.

Teaches you how to develop Java programs, from start to finish, for connecting to databases using Java's new database connectivity environment, JDBC. Tells how to easily install drivers for most databases. Features a section on programming ODBC Java programs, including a robust ODBC client template for developing your own applications. Features a handy, ready-to-use Interactive SQL query client, including fully-explained and annotated source code. Teaches how to write your own database drivers for the JDBC. Reveals how to optimize your Java database programs for maximum efficiency and minimum time.

What is this book about?
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the Java programming language, updated thoroughly (more than 35% new and updated) for the latest SDK 1.5 release. This book shows readers how to build real-world Java applications using the Java SDK. No previous programming experience is required.

Whether you're building a web- or desktop-based application with Java SE or Java EE, many Java applications need to integrate data from a relational database. This course describes how to read and manage data from relational databases such as MySQL and SQL Server using the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. Author David Gassner explains how to choose a JDBC driver and connect to one or more databases. He also provides detailed instructions on reading, selecting, and updating data; calling stored procedures; managing data via JavaBean classes or with prepared statements; and working with metadata.
