PostgreSQL JDBC (original) (raw)

In this section on PostgreSQL JDBC, you’ll learn the process of interacting with the PostgreSQL databases from Java programs using the JDBC driver.

JDBC, as the core API of Java, offers a standardized interface for communication with SQL-compliant databases, especially PostgreSQL.

• Install JDK, setup Java IDE, and download PostgreSQL JDBC driver
• Connect to the PostgreSQL server from Java programs.
• Perform common database operations such as creating tables, inserting data, querying data, updating data, and deleting data.
• Call PostgreSQL stored functions and stored procedures.
• Handle Transactions.
• Basic Java programming.
• Know how to connect to PostgreSQL using psql and execute queries.

This section helps you get started by setting up JDK, installing Java IDE, downloading the PostgreSQL JDBC driver, and connecting to the PostgreSQL server from a Java program.
