JDBC - Java Database Connectivity

JDBC is a Java technology for accessing SQL databases. It is a core part of J2EE, and it works with every major database product. This hands-on course covers all the details that you will need to use JDBC to access the information in your databases using Java. It also talks about real world issues in using JDBC.

All labs can be done with the Eclipse IDE or a simple editor, and the lab instructions include detailed directions on both environments.
