Java Database Connectivity (JDBC): An Introduction to JDBC

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is the Java application programming interface (API) that manages the connection and execution of queries with a database. The focus of this course is to provide you hands-on experience with a variety of JDBC objects that are required to set up a connection to a relational database and run queries against it. Learn how to set up a MySQL database and use DataSource and Data Manager instances to connect to it from your Java application. Delve into objects such as Statements and PreparedStatements that enable you to execute a variety of queries against the database and familiarize yourself with the ResultSet that allows you to parse the results of the execution of a select query. You'll have the foundational knowledge to connect to and query against databases using JDBC objects after completing this course.
