Summary: Great Intro to Java Database Programming
Comment: I felt the need to add a few comments about this book directed to those who may be looking for a primer on Java database programming. Having read several JDBC books, I feel that this is the best written of the bunch! Though there may be some typos in the code examples, nobody that I've read explains JDBC concepts as well or as simply as this author does. Because of the book's age, you may want to read another reference for the new method syntax along with this one. But don't shortchange youself, read this book if you're trying to gain an understanding of Java database programming. If you're only looking for code examples, you can find those on the web.

Summary: Really Helpful Book
Comment: Yes I agree with the other reviews that there are a lot of type o's but the code on the CD is correct. Anyhew if your worth your weight in java to begin with you would be able to see the mistakes and correct them they're not that difficult. The book is well written and the jdbc api is explained very elegantly. Good job Matthew. I would however give the publisher and editor a piece of my mind if I were you about the type o's. Nasty!
The code on the CD does make up for it though. Check it out.

Summary: Small blessing in disguise
Comment: This book sure has a lot of typos and coding pring errors. It must be a source of great embarassment to Mcgraw-Hill. The braces have wrong scoping making it impossible to compile without putting in a lot of analysis. This is very frustrating to novices like myself.

Otherwise the book as been very lucidly written for individuals who need a jumpstart on learning and using JDBC.

Another good feature (in disguise) is that one can learn how to debug dirty code. Unless you specualte you cannot accumulate!
