Q) What is “CLASS PATH”?




A)
->CLASSPATH is an environmental variable used by java compiler and JVM to locate class files.(they may be user defined class file or library class file).

How to set this CLASSPATH :

->for J2SE platform, all library class file are located in the fallowing place
C:\program files\java jdk1.6.0\jre\rt.jar
->we need to place 2 locations in general in CLASS PATH environmental variable.
->Temporary: SET CLASS PATH = c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0\jre\rt.jar
(Temporary setting the path on command prompt)
-> “.” Indicates current working directory that is recognized by JVM.
->Permanent: right click on my computer->properties->advanced->environmental variable->select CLASSPATH->click edit->go to beginning of the path put; and click ok.
->this is the permanent CLASSPATH setting
->whenever we set the temporary classpath we using dos permanent one it is exit then permanent classpath is used automatically when dos prompt is opened

Q) What is the purpose of JDBC?

A) -> Java application can do any task by making a method (function) call. ->java method calls are not understandable to database management system. They can understand only SQL statements. ->SQL statements can’t be directly used in a java application. Java compiler complains. ->therefore, we say that java environment and database environment are heterogeneous to each other. Purpose of JDBC: ->for any kind of java application to communicate with any kind of database (management system) in a standard manner, JDBC is used.
