Good for starting JDBC
This book steps you through the JDBC API. This is not a book for an expert, but gives you a stepping stone into the relm of java database programming. This book also touches on points to watch out for and sometimes offers workarounds. The book also offers an explanation section and then a seperate reference section which allows you to get to the meat.

Sloppy, very SLoppy....
Tons of garbarge examples that don't even make sense....I will let the horse speak: int getColumnType(int column) String colTypeName = rsmd.getColumTypeName(1);

For a beginner,
By Michael Pucciarelli (Rockville, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JDBC Developer's Resource (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book is good for a beginner. I read this book and it helped me tremondously. This book would not be good for the experienced beginner. The code is easy to follow; although some could have been written better. It is a good reference. -- Not the best I have read.

Very little coverage of applets,
By Jack Biederman (jbiederm@visa.com) (Foster City, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JDBC Developer's Resource (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I am interested in connecting via JDBC from an applet. This subject is not covered in any depth, and there are no instructions for preparing your environment for the samples to work. I HATE depricated code, and the book is full of it.

Pretty Good, Needs Better Examples,
By A Customer
This review is from: JDBC Developer's Resource (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is a pretty good book, especially for a beginner.My only major complaint is that the examples and code snippets don't culminate in anything. I wish there was a more significant end-result to the book. I think that would help make the code more understandable. If you're a beginner to JDBC, this would be a good first step.

Disappointing as a reference book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jdbc Developer's Resource: Database Programming on the Internet (Prentice Hall Ptr Developer's Resource Series) (Paperback)
Seemed OK at the bookstore. Once I began using it I found it to be quite inadequate. It's OK as an introduction to JDBC but the reference section is poorly written and not complete. For example the description of CallableStatement escape syntax is very poor, and makes only passing reference on how return and OUT parameters are registered and retrieved. The Quick reference section is very hard to use when trying to look up a specific method. Method names are buried in the syntax. Found lots of typos in the examples used in the reference section. The O'Reilly book (1997 vintage) is 1/3 the size and much easier to read.

Unsufficient Guidance to practice the sample program,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jdbc Developer's Resource: Database Programming on the Internet (Prentice Hall Ptr Developer's Resource Series) (Paperback)
This book doesn't provide a sufficient guidance to practice the sample program.The JDBC-ODBC Bridge in only for ODBC 2.x. The book is very thick, but the material isn't as thick as the book, Why did the publisher use thick paper for the book. the book could be thinner than it is.
