A great book, but not the best starting point for JDBC

Having read over two-thirds of this huge volume, I am now of the opinion that it probably is not the best place to begin exploring Java database development. The word "Beginning" in the title is a bit misleading: you shouldn't approach this book without a solid grounding in Java and databases in general. True, the introductory chapters cover essential SQL and other database concepts, but there is a steady ramping-up in the...

Good tutorial

I thought that this book was quite good at explaining Java programming of databases. Many of the examples in the book, though, use the Oracle personal edition database. This is a 600MB file that you download from Oracle. Or, you can pay them [money] to send it to you on CD-ROM. Alternatively, you can use another database - like SQL Server - and modify the examples to work with that database.

GREAT BOOK!

I'm using this book as my text book for my independent study of database programming with Java. This book is the tops! The primary focus is programming with the Cloudscape database, but it does give you code snippets to use if you're using Oracle or one of the Microsoft databases (like SQL Server). What impresses me about the book is it's one of the few instructional books that teaches a programmer how to wade in the water...

Great book to have a good feel of java

I am not a java programmer nor want to be one at all. As an Oracle DBA I have been looking for a book that helps me to understand what java's all about and enough knowledge to help developers. Although This book doesn't deal with the latest specifications like EJB 2.0, JSP 1.3 and Servlet 2.3, it gives us a good explanations and good examples on how java interacts with databases,especially Oracle. Reading this book you can...

This is a GREAT book!

This book is great!I read this book from cover to cover and I still use it ALL the time as a great reference for DataSources, Transaction APIs, etc. The appendixes are more helpful than I could have imagined, they summarize so much stuff that I read in the book, but don't use very often, and have a hard time remembering sometimes. If you are looking for a good book to guide you through ALL the steps of database access with...
