Book Description
JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), the powerful API that is a standard part of the Java Class Libraries (JDK 1.1), represents one of the most exciting and fertile areas for Java development. Offering SQL compatibility and sophisticated database development capabilities, JDBC allows Java programmers access to MIS and Legacy systems. From the creators of the JDBC API at JavaSoft, here is the definitive guide to this vital new technology. Appropriate for Java programmers of all skill levels, this book provides explanations of JDBC and Java fundamentals, a step-by-step tutorial to bring you up to speed, and an extensively annotated reference to all JDBC classes and interfaces. Overviews of Java and the JDBC API explain how JDBC fits into the world of SQL and relational databases. The tutorial walks you through JDBC, demonstrating how to execute common tasks with numerous examples. For those interested in writing applications that access various database systems, the JDBC Metadata API is also introduced. The alphabetically arranged reference section is comprehensive and detailed, containing class and interface definitions along with a wealth of in-depth information on methods and fields. Also included is important information on mapping Java and SQL types, a look at the rationale behind JDBC's design, and a glimpse into JDBC's future. Anyone interested in pursuing the many development opportunities made possible by JDBC will find this book an indispensable resource.
