Is JAVA technology helps a lot in database interaction?

[kekewong]

Hi, i am new to JAVA technology. Previously i have some knowledge in VB.NET with database. But i doesn't know how JAVA helps in interaction between database and software. Does JAVA provide a powerful API in database interaction? or any thread/article i can read?

Kind Regard,
kekewong

JDBC is the buzzword for that stuff.

If you are really smart (read extremely lazy) you will skip the plain JDBC altogether and use some ORM tools like hibernate.

Hi.
In my opinion, you can refer to the url below:

The JDBC API

You can start here:
Lesson: JDBC Introduction (The Java™ Tutorials > JDBC(TM) Database Access)

and if you want to dive deeper you can find:
"OReilly.Database.Porgramming With Jdbc And Java 2nd Edition"

Pay attention on widely used DAO pattern and move on
later with ORM like Hibernate.

hibernate...

... if you dont want to do much configuration and xml then simpleorm.org is an easier way (although hibernate is more powerfull).
