Synopsis :

Java and databases make a powerful combination. Getting the two sides to work together, however, takes some effort--largely because Java deals in objects while most databases do not.

This book describes the standard Java interfaces that make portable object-oriented access to relational databases possible and offers a robust model for writing applications that are easy to maintain. It introduces the JDBC and RMI packages and uses them to develop three-tier applications (applications divided into a user interface, an object-oriented logic component, and an information store).

The book begins with a quick overview of SQL for developers who may be asked to handle a database for the first time. It then explains how to issue database queries and updates through SQL and JDBC. It also covers the use of stored procedures and other measures to improve efficiency, where these are available.

But the book's key contribution is a set of patterns that let developers isolate critical tasks like object creation, information storage and retrieval, and the committing or aborting of transactions.

The second edition includes more basics of JDBC and SQL, with more examples, and a deeper discussion about the architecture of a robust, maintainable database application. The second edition also explains the relationship between JDBC and Enterprise JavaBeans.

À propos de l?auteur: George Reese (http://www.imaginary.com/~borg) is an information systems consultant in Bloomington, MN. After earning a degree in philosophy from Bates College in Maine, he worked in television for a while before becoming involved with enterprise client/server and Internet programming. George runs one of the oldest LPMuds on the Internet, Nightmare LPMud, where he developed the Nightmare Object Library used by other muds as a foundation for development. His free textbooks, LPC_Basics and Intermediate LPC, are widely read by new mud programmers looking to learn LPC. In addition to these works, he has developed a handful of free Internet class libraries for LPC and Java, including the world's first JDBC driver, mSQL-JDBC. George is also coauthor of the O'Reilly book MySQL and mSQL. When he is not working, he loves skiing, inline skating, and camping.
