Don�t drop your JDBC yet!

A good presentation for both architects and programmers, about JDO. The author explains the issues with Object oriented programs and relational databases then goes to show how JDO attempts to solve this mismatch (otherwise know as object relational impedance mismatch) Note from this book you will find that JDO is a standard to be implemented by vendors so that developers need not know varying interfaces object relational mapping frame works. JDO also has its own query language, which is not as powerful as SQL especially if you have complex joins or aggregation (OLAP) so, don't drop your JDBC yet! Well written with little fluff. It's not a O'rilly style code code book, it has the write amount of theory and code mix
