33.1. Introduction

The preceding chapter introduced the basic features of JDBC. This chapter covers the advanced features of JDBC. Many of the advanced features are introduced in JDBC 2 or JDBC 3 , which are new standards for JDBC. You will learn how to develop a universal SQL client for accessing any local or remote relational database, learn how to execute statements in a batch mode to improve performance, learn scrollable result sets and how to update a database through result sets, learn how to use RowSet to simplify database access, and learn how to store and retrieve images.
