Most Java database books are long on theory but short on practical examples, full of JDBC but failing to show how Java can be applied to specific database situations. This hands-on, practical... This description may be from another edition of this product.
A good how-to access databases using java and jdbc
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The book I have been looking for. Recommended for database programmer who wants to make available their data in the Web or Intranet using Java and JDBC. Great sample programs that really works. I learned a lot from this book about database programming with Java and JDBC. I liked the part where the author detailed nicely the steps how a database connection is established and how the different pieces of interface interacts to store and retrieve data from the database. Great book. More power to you Bill.
Excellent introduction to JDBC with Microsoft Access
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I found this book to be extremely useful. It is extremely good at explaining things, and has great code examples. A word of caution: it assumes you'll be using Microsoft Access. It's hard for me to assess how much you would get out of it if you're using a different configuration. It should probably have been called "JDBC programming with Access". But if this is what you'll be using, and/or you're a beginner, this book will be invaluable. I've seen no better book than this for learning the basics of JDBC, and it has helped me immensely. Other books just gloss through the basics and assume you'll figure it out yourself. On the contrary, "SQL Programming with Java" guides you step by step, and tells you every little thing you need to know. You end up with a solid knowledge of both the operation and the concepts behind JDBC. Definitely recommended, "The Book" to start with if you're using Access. It may also be valuable if you're using a similar DBMS.
An excellent resource for writing java database apps
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I found this book to be very useful for creating a database app using JDBC and SQL. It focuses on the SQL side of the equation instead of the JDBC side. While the book does use Microsoft Access as its example, it teaches pure Java. The basic techniques are the same whether using Access or Oracle. If you are looking to write a database front end in Java, this book is an excellent place to start.
Worth the read...
