Database Programming with JDBC and Java, Second Edition
George Reese, Andy Oram · O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. eBooks · 2000
From the Publisher: This book describes the standard Java interfaces that make portable object-oriented access to relational databases possible and offers a robust model for writing applications that are easy to maintain. It introduces the JDBC packages and uses them to develop three-tier applications (applications divided into a user interface, an object-oriented logic component, and an information store). The second edition also explains the relationship between JDBC and Enterprise JavaBeans. If you use Enterprise JavaBeans, JDBC can handle object persistence; if you choose not to use Enterprise JavaBeans, this book shows you how to achieve many of the same goals in your own code.
