11.11. What's Next

In the next chapter, we cover Java database connectivity, or JDBC. This standard is based somewhat on Microsoft's Open DataBase Connectivity, and is the technology that allows Java programs and Java Web applications to connect to databases, retrieve record sets, and manipulate the data. Performing such operations in Java requires writing a good deal more code than it does in ColdFusion, as every aspect of the operation requires its own objects, each with its own methods and properties.
