Explanation:
Quoted directly from Sun’s Java document site at
http//developer.java.sun.com/ JDBCTM is a JavaTM API (Application
Programming Interface. that documents a standard framework for dealing with
tabular and, generally, relational data. While JDBC 2.0 begins a move to make SQL
semi-transparent to the programmer, SQL is still the lingua franca of the standard
database engines and represents a major industry victory in the effort to separate
data from code. Before getting into the course proper, it’s worth taking a few
moments to provide some background on the movement from straight-ahead SQL
to JDBC.
