The goal of the JDBC Recipes is to provide easy-to-implement and immediately usable solutions for problems in relational databases that use JDBC. With JDBC Recipes, users will be able to quickly integrate these solutions into their Web-based applications, such as Java Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and Java server-side frameworks and programs. The book is written in such a way that users will be able to cut and paste the solutions without any code changes.
The only standard size JDBC "cookbook" in market with clear specification of problems and ready-to-be-used working code solutions (in a cut-and-paste fashion) that work for at least two leading databases such as MySQL and Oracle Most existing JDBC-related books provide only generic solutions, which might not work on any vendor’s database. This book shows the importance of "vendor" factor for solving JDBC problems Complete coverage of database and result set "metadata" (which is missing from most JDBC books)
