Overview
Java's "write once-run anywhere" model has been one of the Holy Grails of computing for decades. As CPU speeds increase, they can absorb the extra layer of translation required to execute an interpreted language, and Java is expected by many to become a major computing platform in the 21st Century.Java 2 Database Programming For Dummies targets the Java programmer who is just starting to access and interact with databases and needs information on how to design, create, and deploy. The book assumes that the reader already knows the basic concept and syntax of the Java programming language and builds on this knowledge to introduce the reader to the concept of databases and the techniques to using JDBC to interface a Java application with a database. The book presents information on how to design and develop a database, then access and manipulate the database as a component of a Java application.
