Great Book!

I found this book to be really good and it gives a great overview of Java programming with JDBC. This book really has a lot of condensed material, and quickly covers a lot of areas. I was able to use the first application right off the bat to connect to a PostgreSQL database and do some simple queries. There is a lot to RDBMS accessed through JDBC, so I would suggest that readers prepare to review web servers, TCP/IP ports and client web browser java security problems. Make sure to get a good reference book for SQL, it will be a good investment for the future. The reader should also have a good grasp of programming with java and be ready to sit in the driver's seat. This book gets my thumb of approval.

Best JDBC Book on the market

Don't be fooled by people who skim through a book without reading it. The authors go into great detail of the inner working of the JDBC. The section on developing JDBC drivers is useful to the advanced JDBC developer (like me). The "Projects" section also provides many real examples with source code to show you how to develop client/server and servlet JDBC programs. For the beginner, there are simple, step-by-step details for connecting your Java program to a database. Great book, with lots of indepth coverage compared to other JDBC books.
