Java Database Programming with JDBC

Java Database Programming with JDBC, takes you step-by-step, into the world of Internet database programming using Java, the hottest programming language today, and the new Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) specification. Essential for making Java applets and applications database aware, JDBC is a must for Java and database programmers who want to enter the cutting-edge field of Web database development.
Java Database Programming with JDBC, Web database development gurus Pratik Patel and Karl Moss reveal the hottest topics techniques surrounding the JDBC specification and API explains how to develop Java programs, from start to finish, for connecting to databases; shows you how to easily install drivers for most databases; features a section on programming ODBC Java programs, and includes an ODBC client template you can use to develop your own applications; features a handy interactive SQL query client, read to use!; shows you how to write your own database drivers for the JDBC; includes dozens of tips on how to optimize your Java database programs to maximize efficiency and speed; and includes a complete reference section on the JDBC API.

Pratik Patel (Chapel Hill, NC) is a freelance technology writer and co-author of Java Programming for the Internet (Ventana). He is also a researcher in the Duke UNC-Chapel Hill Medical Informatics research program and is developing Web-based systems for health care.

Karl Moss (Raleigh, NC) is a Software Engineer at SAS Institute. He has been significantly involved with the JDBC specification since its inception, and was the sole developer of the JDBC-ODBC Bridge. Karl has since written several other JDBC drivers and continues to help shape the future of JDBC.
