FairCom JDBC Developer's Guide

Introductory Tutorial

drivers\<Your-API-Folder>\tutorials\JDBC_Tutorial1.java

This tutorial will take you through the basic use of the FairCom DB JDBC Interface.

As with all other examples in the c-tree tutorial series, this tutorial simplifies the creation and use of a database into four simple steps: Initialize(), Define(), Manage(), and You’re Done() !

Tutorial #1: Introductory - Simple Single Table

We wanted to keep this program as simple as possible. This program does the following:

• Initialize() - Connects to the FairCom Database Engine.
• Define() - Defines and creates a "customer master" (custmast) table/file.
• Manage() - Adds a few rows/records; Reads the rows/records back from the database; displays the column/field content; and then deletes the rows/records.
• Done() - Disconnects from FairCom Database Engine.

Note our simple Main() function:

import java.sql.*;

import java.io.*;

public class JDBC_Tutorial1 {

static Connection conn;

static Statement stmt;

//

// main()

//

// The main() function implements the concept of "init, define, manage

// and you're done..."

//

public static void main (String[] args)

throws java.io.IOException

{

Initialize();

Define();

Manage();

Done();

System.out.print("\nPress <ENTER> key to exit . . .");

System.in.read();

System.exit(0);

}

We suggest opening the source code with your own editor.

Continue now to review these four steps.
