Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition 3.0: Developer Workshop R2

The Berkeley DB Java Edition Developers' Workshop provides the software engineer with a detailed walk-through of Berkeley DB Java Edition database, from installation, to the base API, to the Direct Persistence Layer (DPL), to transactional protections. Database opens, database reads and writes, cursor operations, environments, secondary indices, multiple threads of control, and transaction usages are all described in detail. The goal of the Berkeley DB Java Edition Developers' Workshop is to introduce the student to developing applications using Berkeley DB Java Edition.

Learn To:

• Administer Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition
• Tune Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition
• Use the Direct Persistence Layer (DPL)
• Install Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition
