Data Access

For the most part, developers no longer open database connections manually, write SQL statements, and store data in result sets for display. They instead use high-level data connectors and data-access engines to deliver requests and updates to databases, and data back to the applications. These solutions give developers the freedom to create sophisticated data interactions with little or no coding through visual interfaces. For an added bonus, using commercial data-access solutions provide the ability to add compelling features and user interface enhancements to the application that couldn't otherwise be considered. Java Pro magazine provides a unique opportunity for companies to spotlight their data access solutions in its January/February 2004 issue.
