Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.5 A64685-01 |
|
This preface contains these sections:
This manual assumes that you are an experienced programmer and that you understand Oracle databases, the SQL and Java programming languages, and the principles of JDBC.
The JDBC Developers Guide and Reference contains eight chapters and one appendix:
This manual contains references to the following Oracle publications:
This book describes how to use the JPublisher utility to translate object types and other user-defined types to Java classes. If you are developing SQLJ or JDBC applications that use object types, varray
types, nested table types, or REF
types, then you are required to have Java classes that correspond to these types. JPublisher helps you do this by creating the mapping between object types and Java classes, and between object attribute types and their corresponding Java types.
This book describes the use of SQLJ to embed static SQL operations directly into Java code. Both standard SQLJ features and Oracle-specific SQLJ features are described.
This book describes Java stored procedures, which lets Java programmers access the Oracle RDBMS. With stored procedures (functions, procedures, database triggers, and SQL methods), Java developers can implement business logic at the server level, thereby improving application performance, scalability, and security.
This manual describes the Oracle extensions to the JavaBeans and CORBA specifications.
Refer to this manual for more information about ANO (Advanced Network Option), the Oracle8 Connection Manager, and about Net8 network administration in general.
Refer to this document set for more information on error messages that can be passed by the Oracle Database and the Oracle JDBC drivers.
Refer to this manual for more information on NLS environment variables, character sets, territories, and locale data. In addition, it contains an overview of common NLS issues, some typical scenarios, and some NLS considerations for OCI and SQL programmers.
These books describe how to access and manipulate large objects (LOBs) using PL/SQL code and the DBMS_LOB
package.
This reference contains a complete description of the content and syntax of the Structured Query Language (SQL) used to manage information in an Oracle database.
PL/SQL is Oracle's procedural extension to SQL. An advanced fourth-generation programming language (4GL), PL/SQL offers seamless SQL access, tight integration with the Oracle server and tools, portability, security, and modern software engineering features such as data encapsulation, overloading, exception handling, and information hiding. This guide explains all the concepts behind PL/SQL and illustrates every facet of the language.
Refer to this documentation for more information on how the Oracle8i Application Server supports JDBC.
Refer to this documentation for more information on how Oracle8 JDeveloper Suite supports JDBC.
Solaris syntax is used in this book, but file names and directory names for Windows NT are the same unless otherwise noted.
The term [ORACLE_HOME
] is used to indicate the full path of the Oracle home directory.
In examples, an implied carriage return occurs at the end of each line, unless otherwise noted. You must press the Return key at the end of a line of input.
The following conventions are also used in this manual:
