Day 8. Advanced JDBC Database Techniques

Yesterday, you studied the concepts of Java Database Connectivity, the JDBC API (Application Programming Interface) that is supported by WebLogic Servers. The important topics that you covered include the support provided in Java for database-enabled applications, JDBC driver types, the WebLogic Server's support for JDBC, and connection pooling.

From yesterday's session, you learned to write a Java program to access a database via WebLogic JDBC drivers and to store data in the database. Today, you will study the ways to retrieve data from the database. You'll also look at some of the advanced features of the JDBC 2.0 API that WebLogic Server 7.0 supports. The sample program will highlight the use of the JDBC driver in WebLogic and the use of the JDBC API. You will also learn how to enhance the BookShoppingJSP to persist the order data.
