Time Tested

I bought my copy of "JDBC Database Access with Java" in the fall of 1999. It's sitting next to me on my desk here at work as I write these words. The right side is choked with Postit page markers that get me back to my most frequently referenced pages quickly. The binding has finally worn out within a part of the DatabaseMetaData section - and some of the pages are loose there. I have relied on this book for the past seven years of Java SQL database programming like no other. That's not to say that I don't have others. I just don't use them. The organization and writing style of this book fits my needs perfectly. I happen to be here today to check to see whether there has been an update to this wonderful reference. Nope. Apparently they got it right the first time back in 1997. If you're looking for a reference book that will enable you to expand your Java capability to JDBC (or to expand your JDBC capability to using all of it) - this is the one. Not too terse. Not too wordy. It covers everything from initial access to database reflection. It has just enough examples to show you how to use JDBC without over-burdening you with code. The index is terrific for quick lookups. Postit notes stick reliably to the pages for many years. A real gem.

Excellent book for anyone who wants to learn JDBC and more

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.

Very good book for Database Programming using Java

Excellent book for starters in either Java/DB. Can be used by expert prorammers to write their own APIs. My favorite in this book is metadata explanation. A must reference for everyone whose working with JAVA/JDBC.

A Very Good Book

The book is a really good beginning into JDBC, it is VERY well indexed and has a really good introduction for people who are not into SQL already, it is really worth the money.
