Essential Sqlj Programming

The SQLJ (also known as Embedded SQL for Java) standard was designed by leading database companies such as Oracle, IBM, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft to allow access to a database in Java. Currently under review with ANSI, this standard is the first of its kind, with Embedded SQL non-existent in C++ and SmallTalk - a pointer to the importance of Java for future database development in the eyes of database vendors. Presenting an introduction to the SQLJ standard from key contributors to the specification submitted to the ANSI standard body, this book provides comprehensive coverage of SQLJ. It includes descriptions of: using SQLJ through JDBC 2.0; performance tuning and debugging tips (featuring a list of known bugs in SQLJ); numerous code examples used in SQLJ; and an overview of current tools available for SQLJ.
