Most database vendors offer an API for this purpose. The usage will vary by vendor, but generally you open a connection, query (or runcommand), check or step through results, close connection. In the MS Windows environment, you can also use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), which is an API that abstracts (no, its not C++ classes) the database, its tables, and its query language. You still have to install a vendor specific ODBC driver, and a vendor specific database client, so you still need to consult the vendor documentation. The procedure is similar to the non ODBC solution - you open the connection, query it, step through the results cursor, and close the connection.

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.
