Hi guys,

Just wondering if somebody could point me to a thread/web site/article that gives a good overview of the different ways of linking Java to databases (particularly RDBMS). Also a book recommendation on this subject would be much appreciated.

I have done some JDBC and SQLJ but would really like to know what is the "best practice" or most-used method out there.

Many thanks.

Paul,
The most common way is definitely JDBC. You could probably verify this by doing a search on javaworld.com or google.com for "JDBC" and "SQLJ" and compare the results.
