Database access is the heart of iSeries web applications. There are two
main techniques available: JDBC and Record Level Access (RLA). RLA is similar
to using file I/O operations in RPG, while JDBC uses SQL. Which should
you use for any given job? Whether you're creating web applications, client
programs, or server-side code, you need to know how to effectively use
JDBC or RLA to access your iSeries data.
In this new, fast-paced 20-hour training course, Joe Pluta takes you
step-by-step through many labs which allow you to compare and contrast
both JDBC and RLA. Using short, easy to understand labs, you'll create
Java classes to read files sequentially and by key. You'll learn how to
create complete CRUD classes (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using both
RLA and JDBC.
- Sequential access with RLA and JDBC
- Creating and closing connections
- Working with records and fields from database files
- Using RLA and JDBC for keyed access
- Updating records using RLA and JDBC
- Error handling using the database access techniques
- Inserting new records with RLA and JDBC
- Creating a 3-tier client application to display, insert, update and
delete data
- Using an Abstract Class to simplify Java development
- The JBUI classes to provide powerful user interfaces, far simpler
than AWT or Swing
Note: This course uses VisualAge
for Java version 3.5 or 4.0, provided with the IBM WebSphere Development
Tools for iSeries. The course is an ideal follow-on to Practical
Java Programming for WebSphere. Some experience with Java is assumed.
When should you use JDBC? When should you use RLA? With this training you’ll
always make the right choice to maximize Java Database performance and
make your job easier.
