  Unit VI: Interacting with Database This unit covers key concepts related to connecting and interacting with databases using Java. It focuses on JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) and ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), their architecture, types of JDBC drivers, and several core interfaces used in database programming. 6.1 Introduction to JDBC and ODBC ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) : ODBC is a standard API for accessing database management systems (DBMS). It allows different applications to interact with different types of databases using a common interface. It works by using database drivers for specific databases. Although ODBC provides database independence, it is primarily used in languages like C and C++. JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) : JDBC is a Java-based API that allows Java applications to interact with databases. Unlike ODBC, which is language-independent, JDBC is specifically designed for Java. It provides a set of interfaces and classes that enable Java a...

  5. Java Networking Java networking  (or,  Java network programming ) refers to writing programs that execute across multiple devices (computers), in which the devices are all connected to each other using a network. Advantages of Java Networking Creating server-client applications Implementing networking protocols Implement socket programming Creating web services Package Used in Networking The java.net package of the J2SE APIs contains a collection of classes and interfaces that provide the low-level communication details, allowing you to write programs that focus on solving the problem at hand. The java.net package provides support for the two common network protocols − TCP  − TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol, which allows for reliable communication between two applications. TCP is typically used over the Internet Protocol, which is referred to as TCP/IP. UDP  − UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol,...
