Learn how JDBC, the Java API to interact with relational databases, uses a driver manager and drivers to establish connections via a connection string.
Learn how to establish a JDBC connection to a MySQL database using the driver manager, with a properties file, and a centralized utility to obtain connections.
Learn to execute DML commands in JDBC by creating a statement and sending SQL strings; use execute update for insert, delete, and update, and execute query with results for retrieval.
Execute select queries with JDBC and retrieve data from a ResultSet. Explore ResultSet metadata, including column names, types, and class names, and navigate rows with next().
Learn how prepared statements in JDBC enable plan reuse, improve performance, and prevent SQL injection by binding values with placeholders and setting parameters before execution.
Learn how to create and call stored procedures in a JDBC context, using callable statements to invoke dbms logic, manage in/out parameters, and handle results.
Explore batch execution in JDBC by grouping statements, using executeBatch, and retrieving generated keys to obtain auto increment values after inserts.
Discover how JDBC handles binary data with blob columns, from tiny blob to long blob, and how to insert and retrieve files using prepared statements.
Manage transactions in JDBC to balance reliability and performance, ensuring all operations succeed or fail together. Turn off auto commit, then commit or rollback to enforce ACID properties.

This course is designed to help you gain a complete understanding of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), the standard Java API used to interact with relational databases. It is ideal for Java developers who want to build database‑driven applications and understand how Java communicates with databases in real‑world scenarios.
The course begins with an introduction to JDBC, explaining its purpose, architecture, and role in Java applications. You will learn how to establish database connections using JDBC, including required drivers and connection objects.
You will then move on to executing DML commands such as insert, update, and delete operations, followed by executing SQL queries to retrieve data from databases. The course covers Prepared Statements, helping you write efficient, secure, and reusable SQL statements.
Advanced topics include Stored Procedures and Callable Statements, which allow Java applications to interact with database‑side logic. You will also learn batch execution, improving performance for bulk operations, and understand how to work with auto‑increment columns.
The course further explains how to handle binary data using BLOB columns, which is essential for working with images and files in databases. You will also gain a strong understanding of transaction management in JDBC, including commit, rollback, and maintaining data consistency.
A bonus lecture guides you on what to learn next after JDBC. Practice tests are included to reinforce concepts and validate your understanding of JDBC.
