| In this thesis, different methods to access relational databases from an object oriented programming language like Java have been investigated. The approaches that are covered are JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), SQLJ (industry standard for embedding SQL in Java) and Java Blend (product from Sun Microsystems, that provides object-oriented way to access data in a relational database). The emphasis is given to Java Blend, as it is a new tool with a very broad scope. And arguments in support of Java Blend as a better approach compared to JDBC and SQLJ are presented. |
