{"product_id":"database-programming-with-jdbc-and-java","title":"Database Programming with JDBC and Java","description":"Java and databases make a powerful combination. Getting the two sides to  work together, however, takes some effort--largely because Java deals in  objects while most databases do not. 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 and RMI 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 book begins with a quick overview of SQL for developers who may be  asked to handle a database for the first time. It then explains how to  issue database queries and updates through SQL and JDBC. It also covers  the use of stored procedures and other measures to improve efficiency,  where these are available. But the book's key contribution is a set of patterns that let developers  isolate critical tasks like object creation, information storage and  retrieval, and the committing or aborting of transactions.\nThe second edition includes more basics of JDBC and SQL, with more  examples, and a deeper discussion about the architecture of a robust,  maintainable database application. The second edition also explains the relationship between JDBC and  Enterprise JavaBeans.","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224908812632,"sku":"9781565926165","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781565926165_2ab1877c-3154-4d14-a7e8-1c76ba37db96.jpg?v=1770119148","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/database-programming-with-jdbc-and-java","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
