Good examples and lively, clear prose

This book presents a nice systematic approach to jdbc. The first section develops a foundation in basic database topics. The next section develops jdbc as an implementation of these foundation themes. Finally the third section develops how jdbc can be implemented on the web.

This is a coherent approach to the subject matter. To keep things interesting the early sections present full java rich applications that demo things. Hint: place all files for each chatper in separate folders, make a path to your java compiler, and then remove all opening "package" commands in each file. The dependencies of the source code are not clearly given. The best approach is to start with chapter 10 code.

This book is essentially a solid and thorough tutorial in jdbc. It does not have an alphabetic list of all the commands of jdbc, but it really is an excellent tutorial.
