Q) Explain about Types of java database connectivity approaches?



A)
->there are 2 types of connectivity from java application to database server.
1) JDBC-ODBC approach
2) JDBC approach

JDBC-ODBC approach:
->in this kind of connectivity sun Microsystems provided driver is used.
->this driver class is”sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”.
->this driver translates JDBC method calls into ODBC function calls. It can’t translate them into ODBC understandable (SQL) calls.








->In order to associate sun driver with ODBC driver we need to externally make some configuration and give some name to that configuration which is known as DSN ( Data Source Name).

Note:
->DNS is a user defined name given to a configuration in which ODBC driver and underlying database are involved.
->Using ODBC data source Administrator which is a graphical tool. We configure the DNS.

Start->settings->control panel->Administrator tools->data sources(ODBC)->ODBC data source administrator graphical tool is displayed-> click ”add” button ->select the DB-> then oracle ODBC driver manager dialogue box is displayed->give the DNS name->click ok.

Q) What is JDBC driver? What is its role in java database connection?

A) ->A translation software written in java according o JDBC specification is nothing but “JDBC driver”. -> JDBC driver implements JDBC API. Use single API. JDBC driver role: They are 4 roles   1)       Establishing connection between JDBC client and database server. 2)       Receiving JDBC method calls made by JDBC client while performing database (CRUD) operations. 3)       Translating java method calls into DBMS understandable calls and forwarding them to database server. 4)       Receiving the results from database server. Translating them into java format and handling over the same to the JDBC client.

Q) What is ODBC?

A) ->open database connectivity is a technology from MS that enables any language program (other than java) to communication with database Management System. ->in java program ODBC is directly not allowed for the fallowing reasons 1) OS dependency 2) Procedural oriented approach 3) Security thread

Q) Explain about nested classes?

A) ->defining a class with in another class is known as nesting of the class. Ex: class A {        class B        {                      } //nested class, and inner class.because it is not static class. } //enclosing class or outer class. ->static class is declared in inside an another class then it does not become an inner class. Note: non-static nested class is known as “inner class”. In the above example class B is nested but not an inner class. Ex: class D {        static c        {                      } //nested class, but not an inner class , because of static class. } //outer class. ->we have three different kinds of inner classes. 1) Member inner class 2) Meth...
