I think oracle is better than Derby
Connecting to Java from within a Oracle database is not possible. However, if you want to connect to an Oracle database from Java, you can use JDBC for the same. JDBC stands for Java DataBase Connectivity which is the framework that helps Java applications connect to databases like Oracle
Java is an object oriented programming language while Oracle is a Relational Database Management System. They are totally different and in no way similar to one another in terms of their features and abilities. Oracle is also the name of the company which makes and sells the Oracle database. It also owns Java as a result of its acquisition of Sun Microsystems which created Java.
They are not comparable to each other. Oracle is a company/organization, or a database (developed by the organization with the same name). Java is a general purpose programming language. You may write a Java program not using Oracle database as the persistence. And you may use Oracle Database without Java programming language. Interestingly though, Oracle, the company, does provide both Oracle and Java Certification programs.
Arraylist Java runs on Oracle which is a relational data management database produced by the Oracle Corporation. Arraylist Java has been part of the Java framework ever since Java 5.
Oracle is a company; they produce several programs (notably Oracle, a database program, and, since they bought out Sun Microsystems, Solaris and Java). The programming language used in the Oracle database is mainly PL/SQL.
In C language Oracle is developed and after that enhancement is done in Java for 10g and 11g
depends on the database you're trying to insert into for sql specifics, but... http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.sql/Insert.html provides a very good oracle answer/example.
Oracle is one of the popular database. It grows by adding many supporting tools like client tools (Developer 2000), Enterprise manager (admin), Designer tools,ERP etc. In simple, it stores your data, manipulate. You may check my profile there is a link to my oracle faq site. It will give you some idea about oracle. Also google to more information.
Definitely Yes. All Java applications that need to connect to a database (it can be any db - oracle or sybase or sql server or db2 or anything else as well) use a java class to create database connections.
JDBC is the acronym for "Java Database Connectivity". JDBC actually offers a two-way interface towards a specific database (like for example Oracle or DB2) and to the actual Java application. The technical part towards the database is encapsulated in a vendor-dependent "database driver", but the part towards the Java application is totally vendor independent. Hence if the database gets replaced by a different vendor mostly no coding changes are necessary.
An Oracle certification in Java programming and technologies can help set you apart from other applicants if you are looking for a job. The higher level Oracle Java certifications (i.e. Certified Java Developer and higher) show advanced knowledge of Java in specialized areas, while the Oracle Certified Java Programmer certification shows that you can actually program in Java.
Java Database Connectivity, a Java API that enables Java programs to execute SQL statements. This allows Java programs to interact with any SQL-compliant database.
