WEEK 1
Connecting to a Database
In this module you will learnt the core concepts of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). You will load a database driver into a Java Application so that you can connect to a database, send commands to the database using the Statement Objects to define and load tables.

WEEK 2
More Statements
In this module you will extract data from database tables either using a ResultSet or a JdbcRowSet, define referential integrity constraints and leverage table associations between tables in ResultSet extraction.
