Java Database Integration Tutorials

Java is two-dimensional: It's a programming language and also a client/server system in which programs are automatically downloaded and run on the local machine. Java includes Java compilers, interpreters, tools, libraries, and integrated development environments (IDEs). Javasoft is leading the way in the development of libraries to extend the functionality and usability of Java as a serious platform for creating applications. One of these libraries, called Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), is the Java Database Connectivity API, or JDBC. Its primary purpose is to intimately tie connectivity between the Java programming language and a wide range of databases – SQL databases and other tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets or flat files.
