JAVA PROGRAMMING – ACCESSING DATABASES USING JDBC

You can access databases using JAVA. The special feature available in Java for this purpose is Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).

You have to create a database in MS Access or Oracle or MySQL or any other database management system. Then give an ODBC name for your database.

// The following example illustrates how to display a table in

// JAVA using

// Java Database Connectivity (JDBC).

// Before running the program, create a table

// named as BOOKS in Oracle 9i.

// Declare the database giving ODBC Name bk.

// User Name is kt.

// Password is kt.

// Save File as MyTable.java

// Assuming that your java bin directory is C:\java\bin

// Compile the file using

// C:\java\bin javac MyTable.java

// to create MyTable.class file.

// Execute the program using

// C:\java\bin java MyTable.
