Chapter 25. The JDBC in Action

In this chapter I'll expand on the topics that I introduced in the previous chapter, and go into more detail on the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) application program interface (API). In this chapter you're going to learn more about:

  • How you map relational data onto Java objects

  • The mapping between SQL and Java data types

  • How you limit the data created in a resultset

  • How you constrain the time spent executing a query

  • How you use a PreparedStatement object to create a parameterized SQL statement

  • How you can execute database update and delete operations in your Java programs

  • How you can get more information from SQLException objects

  • What an SQLWarning object is and what you can do with it
