Help in basics of database..

[vinoth]

Hi.
Am learning JAVA and now am learning JDBC in it.
I ve very basic questions.
Should I install SQL Server database inorder to access it from JAVA?
Then how do i invoke it from JAVA?
I am using NETBEANS IDE. Do any database software come along with it?

Hi,
Start with MS-Access database which is quite easily available with "Micro soft office"

MS Access is a toy, there is no type4 driver available. Stay away from it.

OP: You can use SQL Server, MySQL, or the JAVA DB shipped with JDK 6. You should read the various JDBC tutorials to get some insights and examples.
