JDBC Recipes focuses on important topics, such as "database metadata" and "result set metadata," which unfortunately have been ignored in most other books on JDBC. This book helps users to develop database solutions (such as adapters, connectors, and frameworks) using Java/JDBC. JDBC Recipes provides elegant solutions for handling all data types (including large binary objects). It is written in such a way that users will be able to cut and paste the solutions without any code changes. One of the unique features of the this book is that it presents JDBC solutions - result sets - in XML. With XML, a client can present data in different presentation media, such as hand-held wireless devices, Web browsers, and server components, in such a way that the solution can be easily used in Web-based applications.
