Java: Database Integration with JDBC

Whether you're building a web- or desktop-based application with Java SE or Java EE, many Java applications need to integrate data from a relational database. This course describes how to read and manage data from relational databases such as MySQL and SQL Server using the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API.
Author David Gassner explains how to choose a JDBC driver and connect to one or more databases. He also provides detailed instructions on reading, selecting, and updating data; calling stored procedures; managing data via JavaBean classes or with prepared statements; and working with metadata.

Topics include:

Importing a MySQL database

Connecting to databases

Handling JDBC exceptions

Looping through result sets

Limiting the number of fetched rows

Filtering data with prepared statements

Calling stored procedures

Inserting, updating, and deleting rows with prepared statements

Using a persistent database connection

Committing and rolling back transactions
