Online JDBC Training – Java Database Connectivity Course

• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java API which is used to connect and execute query to the database.
• API stands for Application programming interface which is a document which contains a description of all the features of a product (software). It shows classes and interfaces that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. An application programming interface (API) can be created for applications, libraries, operating systems etc.
• That JDBC API uses Java Database Connectivity drivers to connect to the database.
• The Java Database Connectivity API can access any kind of tabular data, mainly data stored in a Relational Database.
• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)  works with Java on various platforms, such as Windows, Mac OS, and the various versions of UNIX.
• JDBC provides a complete set of interfaces that allows for portable access to a basic database.
• JDBC provides the same efficiency as ODBC which allowing Java programs to contain database independent code.
• The JDBC library consists of APIs for each of the tasks commonly associated with database usage:

1. Making or creating a connection to a database
2. Creating SQL or MySQL statements
3. Executing that SQL or MySQL queries in the database
4. Viewing & Modifying the resulting records

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Architecture:-

• The JDBC API supports two processing models namely two-tier and three-tier for database access. But in general, JDBC Architecture consists of two layers:
  i) JDBC API: This provides the application to JDBC Manager Connection.
  ii) JDBC Driver API: This supports the JDBC Manager to Driver Connection.
• The JDBC API use a driver manager and database specific drivers to give transparent connectivity to heterogeneous databases.
• The JDBC driver manager assures that the correct driver is used to access each and every data source.
• The driver manager is proficient in supporting multiple concurrent drivers connected to multiple different databases.

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers are of 4 types-

1) JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
2) Native-API driver or partially-java driver
3) Network protocol driver or fully-java driver
4) Thin driver or fully-java driver

Why is JDBC Training required?

• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is a Java API which is used to connect and execute a query to the database. It uses JDBC drivers to connect to the database.
• We know that before JDBC, ODBC API was used to connect and execute a query to the database. But ODBC API uses ODBC driver which is written in C language that is platform dependent and unsecured. That is why Sun Microsystem has defined its own API (JDBC API) which uses JDBC driver written in Java language.
• JDBC grants multiple implementations to exist and is used by the same application. The API gives a mechanism for dynamically loading the correct Java packages and registering them with the JDBC Driver Manager.
• For creating JDBC connections, the Driver Manager is used as a connection factory.
• JDBC connections support to create and execute statements.
• Also, it(JDBC) allows a Java Program to issue SQL statement and process the results.

JDBC Training Goals and Objective

• The primary goal of this course is to prepare students for a successful professional career in the advance java.
• To get a good knowledge of java database connectivity (JDBC).
• This course contains over 6 lectures and 47 mins of content.
• JDBC is used to provide Java programmers with a simple, uniform interface to a wide range of relational databases.
• It is used to provide database independence. It can replace the hidden database with minimal code impact.
• JDBC gives a common base on which higher level tools and interfaces can be built.
• The JDBC API is devoted to providing general access features for developers. The goal is to provide native applications which can achieve the same level of accessibility features.
• The JDBC API is to be a simple, straightforward interface.
• Who works in other technology but interested to learn JDBC connections, for them online learning platform is best because it saves time and other efforts.
• After completing the course, a participant can fluently work on JDBC.
• In simple words, the main objective is to make you awesome in java and that of database connectivity.

Target Audience for JDBC Training

• Java Professionals or developers
• New developers who are interested to learn Java database connectivity (JDBC).
• New as well as experienced users also, of all Java language.
• Students
• All developers
• This training course is designed who need to understand the JDBC framework in detail including its architecture and actual usage.
• This online training program has been created for the beginners to help them to understand the basic to advanced concepts of Java database connectivity (JDBC).
• This online tutorial will bring you at an intermediate level of expertise from where you can catch yourself at a higher level of expertise.

Pre-requisites for JDBC Training

• Previous experience is not required
• Basic knowledge of Computers required
• Knowledge of database concepts
• Database Professionals
• Good understanding of the Java programming language.
• It will be great if you have a good understanding of SQL
• Basic knowledge of web application and how the internet works.
• Such basic knowledge will help you to understand the JDBC concepts quickly and you can move fast on learning track.

JDBC Training Advantages

The advantages of Java database connectivity (JDBC) are as follows:
• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) gives existing enterprise data.
• It simplified enterprise development.
• The JDBC API is easy to learn and deploy.
• It is inexpensive to manage.
• There is no configuration required on the client side. All the information needed to make a connection is defined by the JDBC URL because drivers are written in Java.
• The Java Database Connectivity provides full access to Metadata which enables the development of sophisticated applications.
• There is no any special installation is required for Java Database Connectivity.
• By using a DataSource object, the JDBC API includes a way to connect to a data source which makes the code more portable and easier to maintain.
• The main advantage is that it is platform independent as well as database independent.
• And also we can change the back-end by changing the driver connection URL.
