Want to be a Database Developer using JAVA

Hi Friends,
First of all i would like to introduce my programming background shortly.
I have been working on oracle using their development tools like developer 6i and oracle APEX since last 10 years. I have developed several database applications for different organizations such as Financials, inventory, Sales, Payroll etc.
Therefore, I am very desperate to learn JAVA and want to develop database application on it whereas i dont have any language experience. May be it is difficult for me.
Can you please tell me how can i create database application like form designing, inserting data in oracle database, triggers handling, report designing etc.??
any helpful website?
where should i start?
Please help. i will be thankful.
Regards,
Kamran

Hello friend. Excuse my rather withdrawn answers, but you are getting the same answers as so many people before you have gotten. Take them as an eye opener (or I prefer: brain-widener), do not take offense please.

inserting data in oracle databaseYou write code to do it. You can use a low level API like JDBC to execute plain queries, or you can use a higher level ORM framework to work from the perspective of a hierarchical object model in stead of flat tables
triggers handlingDatabases handle triggers, not applications
report designing etc.??You use the right tool for the job, of which there are many
any helpful website?Google
where should i start?A book about Java! Amazon user reviews are an excellent guide to know which ones are good and might fit you personally.
Your very, very first step is to make a 100% switch in the way you think though. You are NOT going to be creating "database applications". You are going to be creating applications which utilize databases. The application's business logic is the lead, not the database. If you cannot make that change in the way you think, you are going to fail into adopting software engineering through a development platform such as Java.

Database appication using java...?

Iam a database programmer using Microsoft Visual Basic 6 as Frunt end & Oracle 8 as back end. Iam a new in java programming & here i also want to make Desktop application using Java JDBC . One of my teacher say that java is basically made for internet i.e web development. If you want to make database application then it is still better to use Microsoft Visual Basic6 instrad of java further more java database is not so much strong as compaired to Visual basic 6...
Iam so much confuse that is java is soo much poor that it does not have a stronge database connectivity with Oracle or Access just like vb6. If yes then it is currect that java language is basially develop for programmers who want to development for the web .
Please guide me in this regards ...being a database programmer what do u suggest me that should i still use VB6 due to good database connectivity with Oracle or Access.
Thanks in advance.

VB actually has a data-bound table control, so the JTable example isn't the best choice for showing off Java's flexibility.
I've used VB and I've used Java, and you'll start to suffer using VB when you have to do something that doesn't have a pre-built control for it already. I'm not incredibly impressed with Java on the desktop, but so far I can easily write classes for any functionality I've needed.
After writing a build program for a newspaper's web site and archive in VB against an Oracle database, I never, ever want to use VB again. It was just too much of a struggle to get the API to do what I wanted.
Java's database access if faster and more flexible, and again, it is much easier to customize your functionality in Java than in the cookie-cutter world of VB.
My rambling two cents.

How to extract payload data from SOA database schema using Java

I am trying to extract the payload data and output as XML text files using Java. Seems that is stored in SOA table XML_DOCUMENT. I am trying the following Java code to get started and it's not working as I would expect. I only get a few actual lines of output and, when I do, I only get the *<?xml version ... ?>* line.
I appreciate any advice to extract the payload data from the database. Ultimately I will want to include the composite instance ID in the SQL but for now I'm just using the code shown here:
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("soa_db_connection_string");
ods.setUser("soa_db_user_id");
ods.setPassword("soa_db_password");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
String sql = "select document from xml_document where rownum < 10";
OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(sql);
DBBinXMLMetadataProvider dbrep = BinXMLMetadataProviderFactory.createDBMetadataProvider();
dbrep.setConnectionPool(ods);
dbrep.associateDataConnection(conn);
OracleResultSet rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
XMLDOMImplementation domimpl = new XMLDOMImplementation();
BinXMLProcessor proc = BinXMLProcessorFactory.createProcessor(dbrep);
while (rset.next()) {
     Blob blob = rset.getBlob("DOCUMENT");
     BinXMLStream inpbin = proc.createBinXMLStream(blob);
     BinXMLDecoder dec = inpbin.getDecoder();
     InfosetReader xmlreader = dec.getReader();
     XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)domimpl.createDocument(xmlreader);
     doc.print(System.out);
}

I found a method using a slight variation of the code I originally posted. Essentially you remove the DBBinXMLMetadataProvider dbrep portion. I believe, with this included, the XML being extracted is validated against the database (which is referenced as a "metadata provider"). Since the SOA schema doesn't seem to contain the information to validate the XML it returns as blank. If you don't include the dbrep portion then the XML is extracted as desired.
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("soa_db_connection_string");
ods.setUser("soa_db_user_id");
ods.setPassword("soa_db_password");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
String sql = "select document from xml_document where rownum < 10";
OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(sql);
OracleResultSet rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
XMLDOMImplementation domimpl = new XMLDOMImplementation();
BinXMLProcessor proc = BinXMLProcessorFactory.createProcessor();
while (rset.next()) {
     BLOB blob = rset.getBLOB("DOCUMENT");
     BinXMLStream inpbin = proc.createBinXMLStream(blob);
     BinXMLDecoder dec = inpbin.getDecoder();
     InfosetReader xmlreader = dec.getReader();
     XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)domimpl.createDocument(xmlreader);
     doc.print(System.out);
}

Help...create database(access) using java

i had developed an java application that capture packet using Jpcap but i dont know how to keep the packet captured into database(access).i can save the packet captured in text file but not in database(access).i already had the database conectivity but i don't know how to insert the packet caputred in the table in access, is it using sql statement like INSERT INTO? or else?i realy don't know.can someone help me....?

i can save the packet captured in to text file but not in database(access).I guess that you wish to get a databse file with your data, not a simple insert sql question.
1. commercial solution: HXTT Access(http://www.hxtt.com/access.html), which supports create database, create table sql, and batch insert data from any JDBC driver.
2. free solution: jdbc-odbc bridge and dsn-less jdbc url, you need to prepare a blank mdb file with blank table, then copy that blank mdb file into new mdb file, then repeat insert sql for that new mdb file.

AIR application and database connectivity (using JAVA)

Hi
I am creating AIR application and I want to connect with the database using java database connectivity (JDBC).
Can any body give me the some suggestion on how to how to do that.
Please give me any reference for creating AIR application for database connectivity with mysql/access.
Thanks
Sameer

lots of serching on the google and found that For AIR applications either you use Webservices(JAVA/PHP/.Net) or you can use SQLLite.
Not found any method for direct connectivity with the database using JDBC.
If any one found direct connecivity withe database using JAVA then please reply.
Thanks

The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
Enjoy, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards

Want to send PDF as attachement using Java Mail

HI,
I am using Java mail API for sending PDF as attachment. Here is my sample code
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler("String data for PDF using iText", "text/plain" ));
I am generating String for PDF file using iTEXT but I am unable to find out mimetype for passing into DataHandler as second paramete.
Any idea?
Thanks
Shailesh

Don't convert the data to String. It isn't text so
you'll damage the binary content by doing that. In
the "demos" directory of your JavaMail download
you'll find a ByteArrayDataSource class you can use
instead of a FileDataSource. Yes, this worked for me. I create the pdf in memory as as StringBuffer and I just changed the code from
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(pdf.toString(), "application/pdf"));
to
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(pdf.toString(), "application/pdf")));
and it worked.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Dennis

Oracle 9i lite application development using java

hi all,
I want to develop a applcation which interacts with the 9i lite database in java.Is there any emulator which will help me in developing this on a windows 2000 machine or winnt machine?
i tried developing it in eVB but the emulator which come along with it does not support the 'oladoce' object..
please if anybody has done something on this please help .. this is very urgent..
thanks ..,
sreekanth sreedharan

Oracle 9i Lite is a multi-platform product and you need to specific the target OS for the database and the version of java.
If you are planning to run your application in Win2000 you will have no problem using Oracle 9i Lite with the supplied
jdbc drivers and any java development environment for J2SE. What you get is a laptop platform that works while not
connected to the Internet
If you are trying to using Oracle 9i Lite on the Palm with J2ME development on windows, it works fine with the Palm Emulator
but I am not sure that the jdbc drivers are available for J2ME yet and I have not used them as I have for J2SE on windows
I am also very interested in developing java applications for the palm using Oracle 9i Lite and I would appreciate feedback
on the jdbc and other required sql extensions for the sun java cldc
If you are talking about the PocketPC or other WinCE, I cannot help you but I have used Personal Java on WinCE but not yet
attempted Oracle 9i Lite on those platforms

How to check the database existence using java.

Hi All,
I need to know if a database exists or not using DB2 sql statements. Is there any sql to find that.
Thanks in advance

try to connect to the database. if it is possible, the database exists - if not - well there may be a number of reasons, but if your database URL is correct, your network is ok and your database engine is running, the database is not existent.

From Oracl Developer to Java Please Guide me

Hi
i am presently making Database applications using Oracle Developer as tool. I want to shift to Database solutions using Java as front end. Will it be better to switch on to Java from Developer? I would like to know all pros and cong regarding it
Thanks
vikas joshi

one point: if you use Java, you would develop in standard SQL, because the Java JDBC API is database independend. of course, you could also use the Oracle specific things with the ORACLE JDBC-Driver or just call specific stored procedures via JDBC, but then: what's the benefit in using Java if you code specific ORACLE apps? so, you should change your way of developing database applications from "developing ORACLE apps" to "developing SQL apps" ... just a suggestion.

How to create a database using Java?

Hi there..
I'm a student who is currently studying IT and was asked to do a project based on database but create using Java.. since i'm a beginner..i was wondering whether is it possible to do that?
and if it is possible.. can you kindly show me a sample of code on how to start the project...
thank you
yours sincerely,
Shafini

While duffymo is correct in regard to most major database products, it's my understanding (warning! wild-ass guess coming) that the Hypersonic DB is more "application-centric" and the dynamic creation of databases is part of its design. It's pure Java database software, and therefore is not appropriate for all database projects, in particular those that require extremely high-performance.
See http://hsqldb.org/
I've not used it yet (but soon though), and I can't really advise anyone about it.
However, I'm wondering if you phrased you question in a way that is confusing us. To most of us in casual conversation, a "database" is both (1) a large organized collection of data and (2) the software that is used to organize and access it. However, the phrase "create a database" usually means creating a (1) database (a collection of data) using an already created (2) database software, such as Oracle, MySQL, DB2, HSQDB, etc., etc. If you'r question is, how do a create some new database software using Java, the answer is that this is a very very big and hard thing to do for the general case and probably not something you want to be doing.

How to create sql database using java frame or appelet?
