Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Part of the JDK (Java Development Kit) version 1.1 is a set of JDBC--Java database connectivity--libraries that let Java applets exchange information with databases. JDBC holds the promise to elevate Java's capabilities beyond today's "toy apps" and make Java a part of robust client/server solutions. The Comprehensive Guide to the JDBC SQL API explains the basics of both Java and SQL and how to tie them together with JDBC. You don't need much familiarity with either area to benefit from this book: the authors introduce both the fundamental techniques you'll need to program in Java and the rudimentary SQL you'll need to access information in a database.

Shame on the editors of this book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to the JDBC SQL API: Develop High-Powered Database Solutions for Your Site (Paperback)
Not only does this book fail to deliver on its promise to be a "Comprehensive Guide to the SQL API", it provides information that is just plain wrong. The first page I read (301) had serious errors, showing methods with incorrect (and inconsistent) argument types. A quick glance showed the book full of this type of error. This is inexcusable. The beginner will be confused, the experienced frustrated, and both will quickly realize that the book should should be thrown away. A book that has not been edited should not be published.

There's gotta be a better book!,
By Michael.Williamson@mci.com (Michael Williamson Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to the JDBC SQL API: Develop High-Powered Database Solutions for Your Site (Paperback)
The first third of the book is Java...cool.The Second third is SQL...OK, but none of the screen-shots line up their captions. It really makes it hard to follow. It's a good thing I already knew SQL or I'd be lost right now. The Last third covers JDBC...well almost. The essential theory of connecting to a Database is covered but there is little practical demonstration on how to use this connection. I wish I could get my money back. ($54.00 from "some other bookstore")

Great Introduction,
By Simon Miller (Nr. Ilminster, SOMERSET United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Comprehensive Guide to the JDBC SQL API: Develop High-Powered Database Solutions for Your Site (Paperback)
I had no knowledge of JAVA or JDBC and a limited understanding of SQL. I found the book extremely informative and well written Given the enormity of the three topics covered the author does an excelent job of introducing these. I don't think this book will suit professional Java Coders but if you want to understand the concept of how JAVA, JDBC and SQL work together this is an excellent book. A great book to get started
