Database References
Here are some Oracle database references that I have found useful.
- Oracle JDBC Developer's Guide — A good guide if you are going to be implementing a JDBC layer in your application.
- Oracle Driver Documentation — Javadoc for Oracle's java classes.
- Oracle LONG Column type example — This article describes how to use the LONG column type to store large graphs of binary data. I used this as an alternative to a BLOB (or CLOB) type because this type is supported in ANSI SQL without having to use a vendor specific driver, which was a goal in several projects I have completed.
