Java Programming - Accessing Databases Using Jdbc

JAVA PROGRAMMING – ACCESSING DATABASES USING JDBC

You can access databases using JAVA. The special feature available in Java for this purpose is Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).

You have to create a database in MS Access or Oracle or MySQL or any other database management system. Then give an ODBC name for your database.

// The following example illustrates how to display a table in
// JAVA using
// Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).
// Before running the program, create a table
// named as BOOKS in Oracle 9i.
// Declare the database giving ODBC Name bk.
// User Name is kt.
// Password is kt.
// Save File as MyTable.java
// Assuming that your java bin directory is C:javabin
// Compile the file using
// C:javabin javac MyTable.java
// to create MyTable.class file.
// Execute the program using
// C:javabin java MyTable.
