Product Description
Product Description
PLEASE PROVIDE DESCRIPTION
From the Back Cover
This book provides the definitive description of the JDBC™ API, the technology that enables universal data access for the Java™ programming language. This new edition has been updated and expanded to cover all of the JDBC 2.0 API, including the JDBC 2.0 core API and the JDBC Standard Extension API, the package that facilitates building server-side applications.
Containing in-depth explanations that go beyond the specification, this complete resource pairs a step-by-step tutorial with a comprehensive reference to all of the classes and interfaces.
For those new to Java technology, the book includes an introduction to the Java programming language and to SQL. It builds on this basic knowledge to walk you through creating a JDBC application–from setting up a database and establishing a connection to retrieving values from result sets and using prepared statements. In addition, the authors provide many examples along the way that demonstrate how to execute common tasks. The book proceeds to more advanced topics, focusing on the new features of the JDBC 2.0 API, including scrollable and updatable result sets, batch updates, SQL3 data types, custom mapping, and more.
You will also find an introduction to working with the JDBC metadata API as well as information on rowsets, the technology that makes it possible to handle data sets from any source such as JavaBeans™ components.
From array to XADataSource, a useful alphabetical reference provides concise but complete information on each class and interface in the JDBC API. Each entry includes an overview as well as a list and explanation of the methods and fields.
A chapter on mapping SQL types and types in the Java programming language, a summary of the new JDBC 2.0 features, and a glossary complete this indispensable resource for all database programmers.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced JDBC programmer you will find useful information in this book. The book is divided into two sections. The first section is a tutorial on using JDBC which makes up four chapters. The tutorial starts with a look at JDBC 1.0. The next chapter looks at the additional features added to JDBC in 2.0 and 3.0. The third tutorial chapter looks at metadata. The final chapter examines the RowSet interface, which is complex enough to need its own chapter.
The remainder of the book (about 800 pages) is a reference containing a chapter for each class or interface in JDBC. Each chapter contains an overview of a class or interface, sections on anything of either special interest or complexity, and then a list of all the methods of the class or interface with complete descriptions. If a section applies to a particular version of JDBC, the version it applies to is clearly marked. The information contained in the reference is much more than you can find in the APIs. The reference section itself is well laid out to make the information you need easy to find.
This is probably the only JDBC book you will ever need. No matter which version of JDBC your database drivers support, you will find your answers in this book. The book is well written with clear explanations and plenty of code samples (which can be downloaded from the Sun web site) . Anyone working with JDBC will want this book by their side while they are coding.

I bought this book, because I wanted to know everything about transaction processing using JDBC . Well, all the fundamentals are in there!
So if you plan to use JDBC in your company for this purpose, you'll find a great tutorial and reference in this book. If you know about basic Java, this book teaches you all the fundamentals about JDBC from the very beginning to a complete transaction level.
The things I miss in this fine book: - An overview of well-known database implementations with their level of the JDBC-API support. There a not so many RDBMS's around that support everything yet. - An accompanying CD-ROM with a starter kit: A (free) RDBMS with some good working examples. - A chapter about how JDBC relates to the internet.
Despite these remarks it is a wonderful book that's well worth the investment, really!
Sincerely, Patrick Holthuizen

All examples are working, everything explained clearly and in detail, and it includes all features of JAVA 1.2. What else do you need? This is what a proper book should be like! If you understand basics of JAVA and interested to learn JDBC this is the best book for you available at the time.
