At JavaOne2012, Mark Biamonte of DataDirect Technologies and Lance Andersen of Oracle organized a discussion about JDBC.
To learn more about using JDBC to develop database applications, see the JDBC trail in the Java Tutorials.
You will know how to use the basic JDBC API to
* create tables
* insert values into them
* query the tables
* retrieve the results of the queries
* update the tables
In this process, you will learn how to use simple statements and prepared statements, and see an example of a stored procedure. You will also learn how to perform transactions and how to catch exceptions and warnings.
