Database programming with jdbc and java by o reilly pdf

Stay ahead with the world's most comprehensive technology and business learning platform.

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. This book describes the standard Java interfaces that make portable object-oriented access to relational databases possible and offers a robust model for writing applications that are easy to maintain. It introduces the JDBC and RMI packages and uses them to develop three-tier applications applications divided into a user interface, an object-oriented logic component, and an information store. The book begins with a quick overview of SQL for developers who may be asked to handle a database for the first time. It also covers the use of stored procedures and other measures to improve efficiency, where these are available.

As a developer of Java enterprise applications, you can choose among several data access frameworks when working with relational databases. This book shows you how Spring's data access framework can help you connect to either non-relational or relational databases, or a combination of the two. You'll learn how Spring Data's familiar and consistent programming model greatly reduces the learning curve for creating applications with newer data access technologies. Relational database technologies continue to be predominant in the enterprise, but they're no longer considered a one size fits all solution. This book shows you how to increase your options.
