SQLJ vs JDBC

[Ali Gohar]

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me whether SQLJ is more efficient or JDBC? and why?

[Hanna Habashy]

I am interested to know too.

JDBC generally depends on String input to make Database calls, this will not show us the Syntax errors untill the runtime.. and when we use SQLJ we will know the errors at compiletime itself and (though SQL statements will have to be static).
there is a good link on this in Javaworld.

SQLJ does provide some advantages over JDBC in terms of performance and security.
Where JDBC provides for the dynamic SQL execution, SQLJ apps can be precompiled to determine the optimal access paths, to give better performance.
SQLJ is simple as you can embedd your SQL statements like you would do in other languages such as COBOL and C.
