Course Number: 545-JK
Recommended Duration: 2 days
Intended Audience:
Experienced Java developers who need to use JDBC to access an SQL database from Java.
Course Overview
Java programmers learn to use JDBC to work with relational database data in Java programs. There are eight machine exercises. Exercises use text editor, Sun Java J2SE JDK and the locally available database. IDEs such as Eclipse, WSAD, JDeveloper, JBuilder, etc... may be used upon request.
Course appropriate for Java 5.0 (Java 1.5). Course covers Java 2 (aka. Java 1.4) with some new Java 5.0 features being introduced. Most topics and examples also apply to Java 1.1, Java 1.2, Java 1.3, and Java 1.4.
Objectives
Participants will enhance existing Java skills by learning to develop, test, and deploy Java database programs using JDBC. Hands-on exercises reinforce new concepts.
