Jdbc Database Access With Java: A Tutorial and Annotated Reference (Java Series)

Rating:
Summary: sasa
Review: I am an experienced Java programmer who bought this book in the middle of implementing a JDBC based application. After staring at the opaque JDBC documentation from Sun, I hoped to find in this book an in depth examination of design and performance issues. The examples here do not go very far. My feeling is that this book covers the subject adequately, but in the end it is not a very complex subject. The hard issues are often implementation specific, and I suppose an in depth look at the details of conformance and performance is not really possible in a book format (e.g. which databases require that resultsets read every column and only once). Now I wish I had purchased a more general book with one good chapter on JDBC, though I do appreciate the reference section in the back and still refer to it.

Summary: good coverage, not much depth.

Summary: Excellent book for anyone who wants to learn JDBC and more
Review: I tried JDBC programmers Resource(PH), Java Database Pgoraming with JDBC(Coriolis Group Books), Database programming with JDBC in 21days (Sames net), but this book is very eazy yet comprehensive enough for the JDBC newbie like me. Authoer does not dig into too deep to confuse reader. Good chapter indexing helping me to use as reference later

Review: This book is well-written and has examples on using the SQL select, insert, delete and update commands. In addition, the topics on metadata is thorough. This is the best of the bunch, you won't be disappointed. It covers everything about database transactions - stored procedures, rollbacks and more.
