Hello,

Some of my friends told that EjB is an alternative of JDBC.Isn't it?

Write down your idea here.

no..who said.
ejb is mainly used for heavy transaction however you can use EJB for database operations. However widely used for handing transactions.

JPA which is part of EJB is uses jdbc. so jdbc compliments ejb. not an alternative

no,wrong information.. EJB is a distributed component which can be supported in any of the platform..now we use this ejb for middletier purpose.

it is always a good idea not to use plain jdbc when you work
with some greater databases.

EJB is one possible alternative but it only works
in an application server environment.

An alternative to EJB is Spring + Hibernate.
