Hey all. I'm working on a project and I would like to use java with a sql database. I don't know a whole lot about sql (though I understand its not too terrible difficult)and I have no idea how to make it interact with java at all. Does anyone know of any guides that might help me get started or what software I might need for the sql side of things? Any help would be more than appreciated!

That's what JDBC is good for. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html

Moving to our JDBC forum...

What's the best type of car?



Sorry, depends on your requirements. There are some extremely light databases like Hypersonic (HSQLDB) but while it is fine playing around it isn't suitable for real systems. MySQL is a good free database with a rich set of features but is harder to set up and maintain. Something large scale like Oracle is so rich you can make a career of learning what it can do, but you run the risk of learning Oracle rather than JDBC.

Helpful?
