Book Description: Java has evolved into a robust, high performance programming language that is well suited to a range of different environments, be it on a middle tier Application Server or a client browser. Regardless of the architecture of your application you are using, it will almost certainly need to make use of data that is stored in some form of database. Relational databases are the data store of choice in the vast majority of businesses, and have also evolved enormously over the recent years, into powerful and feature-rich data management systems.

This book aims to teach you how to use these two powerful technologies to build successful Java database applications. You will find out how relational databases work and how you can use them in your Java programs, through the JDBC interface. You will see how to apply your new skills in an enterprise environment and by the end will be building sophisticated web-enabled Java database applications that incorporate other technologies, such as XML.

This book covers:
• Using the JDBC API to build database-driven Java applications
• Introduction to new JDBC 3.0 features
• SQL and relational database design
• Object-relational mapping frameworks and techniques
• Debugging your application and logging its activities
• Applying Java and JDBC skills in a J2EE environment
• Integrating XML into you Java database applications

From the Publisher: This book is ideal for the programmer who has a reasonable grasp of the fundamentals of the Java language, and is now looking to apply and improve these skills in building database-driven Java applications. If you are relatively new to Java, then the explanations in the text should allow you to grasp all of the fundamental issues discussed, especially if you are migrating from another language such as C or C++.

About the Author: Since becoming a professional software developer, Kevin Mukhar has programmed a client-server based training system in C and C++. He then worked on a large-scale data management system using an Oracle database to manage terabytes of binary data. The front-end was developed as a web application employing C++ and Java. This was followed by an all Java system for dynamically finding and displaying data from distributed data repositories. His latest job is developing Java intranet web applications using J2EE technologies. The web applications provide customer management for a company with millions of customers.

Todd Lauinger is a freelance instructor, mentor, conference speaker, and published author. He is currently employed as a Software Construction Fellow at Best Buy Co., Inc., working there to establish a common infrastructure for all Java-related software development activities in the enterprise. Todd has his Masters degree in Software Engineering, along with over 10 years of experience developing large, mission-critical software systems for engineering and business organizations.

John Carnell is currently working as a Senior Systems Architect for Workscape, a leading provider of HR and Employee Benefits self-service solutions. John's favorite topic of discussion, much to his wife's chagrin, is component based, N-Tier architectures. John has extensive experience with both the Microsoft, Oracle, and Java N-Tier solutions.

GREAT BOOK!, March 28, 2002
Reviewer: Jennifer R Lewis from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania United States

I'm using this book as my text book for my independent study of database programming with Java. This book is the tops! The primary focus is programming with the Cloudscape database, but it does give you code snippets to use if you're using Oracle or one of the Microsoft databases (like SQL Server). What impresses me about the book is it's one of the few instructional books that teaches a programmer how to wade in the water before it teaches the programmer how to dive in 20-ft deep water and swim.

Although the book is HUGE, it really explains in detail why the programmer is writing the particular code. I also liked the idea that it dedicates a few chapters on SQL and database concepts. Although this may appear to be a rehash for experienced database programmers, it's still good to review, since it covers the topics from a Java perspective. I teach at a college part-time. If the college decides to offer a third-level Java programming course to its students, then I would highly recommend this book for the class. Excellent job again, WROX Press!

Great book to have a good feel of java, March 25, 2002
Reviewer: HYUNDEOK KWON from FARMINGTON HILLS, MI United States

I am not a java programmer nor want to be one at all. As an Oracle DBA I have been looking for a book that helps me to understand what java's all about and enough knowledge to help developers. Although This book doesn't deal with the latest specifications like EJB 2.0, JSP 1.3 and Servlet 2.3, it gives us a good explanations and good examples on how java interacts with databases,especially Oracle. Reading this book you can try some simple codes yourself and will get a hang of it. This is great book for a Java beginner to start with. Was this review helpful to you?

This is a GREAT book!, September 3, 2001
Reviewer: Jason Lawrence from Atlanta, GA USA

This book is great! I read this book from cover to cover and I still use it ALL the time as a great reference for DataSources, Transaction APIs, etc. The appendixes are more helpful than I could have imagined, they summarize so much stuff that I read in the book, but don't use very often, and have a hard time remembering sometimes. If you are looking for a good book to guide you through ALL the steps of database access with Java, then I highly suggest at the very least sitting down with this book for a while to get the feel of it, and see if it's for you. The book moves at a great pace, spending most of the time covering the basic, everyday, important stuff, but also spending enough time to show how to use some really neat more advanced features. Overall... another great book from WROX!
