| Overview
If you're a Java programmer working in an Oracle environment,
you're probably familiar with JDBC as a means of accessing data
within an Oracle database. SQLJ takes you further, allowing you to
access a database using embedded SQL statements. Java
Programming with Oracle SQLJ shows you how to get the most out
of SQLJ. Layered on top of JDBC, SQLJ greatly simplifies database
programming. Rather than make several calls to the JDBC API just to
execute a simple SQL statement, SQLJ executes that statement simply
by embedding it within the Java code. In this book, Jason Price
explains SQLJ programming from a task-oriented point of view.
You'll learn how to:
Embed queries and other SQL statements within Java
programs Deploy SQLJ code not only on client machines, but
also to JServer--Oracle's Java engine built into the database Use advanced techniques for working with
collections, streams, large objects, and database objects, all
without leaving the comfort of the SQLJ environment Tune SQLJ programs for maximum performance
Throughout the book, the exposition of SQLJ and SQLJ programming
techniques reflects the author's many years of professional
experience as a programmer and consultant. Examples are first-rate,
enabling you to learn SQLJ in no time. If you're writing Java code
to access an Oracle database, you can't afford not to know about
SQLJ.
Editorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionSQLJ is a technology that lets you easily access an Oracle database from a Java program, using embedded SQL statements. Unlike JDBC, which requires a complex application programming interface, SQLJ is easy to use and allows you to simply embed Oracle SQL statements within Java programs. With SQLJ, you can write code faster, without having to debug complex JDBC calls. Throughout this book, Jason Price explains SQLJ programming techniques from a task-oriented point of view. You'll start by learning how to connect to an Oracle database in order to issue SELECT queries and other SQL statements. Then you'll move on to more advanced topics like SQLJ tuning, deploying SQLJ code within the Oracle database server, using streams, and working with large objects. If you're already a SQLJ programmer, this book will help you get the most out of the technology. |

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 10 reviews. Java Programming with Oracle SQLJ - above average, 2004-04-10 Reviewer rating: My knowledge of Oracle and Java is beginner/intermediate level and I like this book a lot. The book explains how SQLJ relates to SQL, PL/SQL, Java, JDBC and it provides a good introduction to the JDeveloper IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The book is written very clearly and the appearance and organization of the text is well up to the O'Reilly standard.
I can't comment on the worked examples yet as I have not yet tried them out. | Easy reading, 2004-01-25 Reviewer rating: This is just an easy read with good code examples. It is geared toward the intermediate or beginner programmer, and presents clear explanation for easy understanding. | Outstanding book, 2002-11-08 Reviewer rating: This is an outstanding book. SQLJ is a simpler way of embedding SQL statements in a Java programming, and is possibly the successor to PL/SQL. I liked this book because it covers SQLJ programming, as well as:
1. Oracle SQL.
2. Oracle PL/SQL.
3. Oracle JDeveloper.
4. Developing J2EE components for the Oracle9i Application server (9iAS) such as EJB, servlets and JSP.
5. Java stored procedures. I liked the author's writing style: it is clear and to the point. I found it very easy to read, and was able to follow the examples in the book and apply them to my own programs. I highly recommend this great little book! | Java Programming with Oracle SQLJ, 2002-06-15 Reviewer rating: This is a great book if you are interested in building J2EE applications and want to link to an Oracle database but don't want to learn the complicated JDBC API. It isn't an 'intro to programming' book like so many out there; it is, however, perfect for object-oriented programmers who are wanting to learn java with a quikness. Finally, a great SQLJ book has emerged! | Well worth the price., 2002-03-27 Reviewer rating: I found this book to be concise, to the point, and very readable. A large amount of material was well presented in a relatively small amount of space. And the examples worked as advertised. I found myself incorporating the material presented into my work before I finished reading the book. An excellent resource. |
