Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 3 (8.1.7) Part Number A83724-01 |
|
This preface introduces you to the Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference, discussing the intended audience, structure, and conventions of this document. A list of related Oracle documents is also provided.
This manual is intended for anyone with an interest in JDBC programming but assumes at least some prior knowledge of the following:
The Oracle JDBC Developers Guide and Reference contains 21 chapters and one appendix:
This book uses Solaris syntax, 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:
This section lists other documentation of interest.
See the following additional documents available from the Oracle Java Platform group:
This book introduces the basic concepts of Java in Oracle8i and provides general information about server-side configuration and functionality. Information that pertains to the Oracle Java platform as a whole, rather than to a particular product (such as JDBC, SQLJ, or EJBs) is in this book.
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 object reference types, then JPublisher can generate custom Java classes to map to them.
This book covers the use of SQLJ to embed static SQL operations directly into Java code, covering SQLJ language syntax and SQLJ translator options and features. Both standard SQLJ features and Oracle-specific SQLJ features are described.
This book discusses Java stored procedures--programs that run directly in the Oracle8i server. 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 book describes the Oracle extensions to the Enterprise JavaBeans and CORBA specifications.
You can also refer to the following documents from the Oracle Server Technologies group.
This book contains information about the Oracle8 Connection Manager and Net8 network administration in general.
This book contains information about NLS environment variables, character sets, and territory and locale settings. In addition, it contains an overview of common NLS issues, typical scenarios, and NLS considerations for OCI and SQL programmers.
This book describes features of the Oracle Advanced Security Option (formerly known as ANO or ASO).
This book introduces basic design concepts and programming features in using an Oracle8i database and creating database access applications.
This book describes general functionality and features of database large objects (LOBs) in Oracle8i.
This book contains general information about structured objects and other object-relational database features in Oracle8i.
This book documents PL/SQL packages available as part of the Oracle8i server, some of which may be useful to call from JDBC applications.
PL/This book explains the concepts and features of PL/SQL, Oracle's procedural language extension to SQL.
This book contains a complete description of the content and syntax of the SQL commands and features used to manage information in an Oracle database.
This book contains general reference information about the Oracle8i server.
This book contains information about error messages that can be passed by the Oracle8i server.
Documentation from the following Oracle groups may also be of interest.
This documentation contains information about how the Oracle8i Application Server supports JDBC.
This documentation contains information about how the Oracle8i JDeveloper Suite supports JDBC.
