Java MySQL database tutorials and examples

Over the years I've done a lot of Java programming, including Java database programming, and I've tried to document a lot of what I've learned about database programming.

A very long time ago I wrote these generic Java database programming tutorials:

• JDBC SQL INSERT example (tutorial)
• Java JDBC - a SQL SELECT query example

More recently I followed those tutorials with these newer Java MySQL database programming tutorials:

• Java MySQL JDBC Driver class and URL example
• Java MySQL SELECT example
• Java MySQL INSERT example (using Statement)
• Java MySQL INSERT example (using PreparedStatement)
• Java MySQL UPDATE example
• Java MySQL DELETE example

These days I use Spring JDBC for all my Java database programming. If you've never used Spring before, it is a life-saver. Here's a link to the Spring Framework website.

If online database programming tutorials aren't your thing, here are links to the best Java database programming books I know, including a Spring book. (If you've never used Spring for your Java database programming needs, you'll thank me later.)

• Java Database Best Practices
• Database Programming with JDBC and Java
• Spring in Action

I hope this collection of Java database tutorials and books will be helpful to you!
