JDBC and Inheritance

[Hemakanta Sethi]

Hai... Friends

I have a problem with inheritance, any one please guide me.

I can't understand, weather JDBC support inheritance or not ?
If yes then how, if not then how.

Advance Thanks....

JDBC uses inherhitance. CallableStatement extends PreparedStatement. But I don't think that is what you are asking.

JDBC just runs SQL. It doesn't do mapping to your object structure. Which means it can't support inheritance. Your code would need to do this.

JDBC and inheritance are two completely different things, that don't really have anything to do with each other. So the question is a bit strange. Can you explain in more detail what you mean by this question?

In case of Hibernate, it supports the three basic inheritance mapping strategies. It means when ever we save a derived class object then hibernate automatically stores it's base class data into the Database table. Like it, i want to know JDBC support inheritance or not.

I would suggest you spend some time reading a JDBC tutorial. Then you should be able to answer for yourself whether JDBC supports inheritance -- whatever that might mean to you. Or at least it would make it easier for you to ask a more specific question.

Repeating my answer: No because JDBC doesn't map to objects. The question doesn't apply to JDBC.
