About this Specialization

The intent of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Introduction is to get some hands-on experience with foundational JDBC concepts. On our journey we’ll learn about why and how the API makes working with databases easy for Java Developers. After this course you should not only be able to demonstrate the mechanics of JDBC but furthermore, you should be able to explain the design and intent.

Applied Learning Project

Students have a variety of hands-on labs that replicate real-life examples of JDBC, from how to write it, to how to debug it. In addition, there are multiple videos, readings, discussions between students, and other activities to help students learn the materials along the way.

How the Specialization Works

Take Courses

A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.

Hands-on Project

Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.

Earn a Certificate

When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.

Course 2

Prepared Statements and Stored Procedures

This is the second course in Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and builds upon the core principals and techniques in the JDBC 1 course. It utilizes PreparedStatements, highlighting their advantages over JDBC Statements. It will also introduce utilizing Stored Procedures on the database server itself to encapsulate complex SQL and PLSQL logic. The Course also introduces the idea of querying the database meta data such as table structures and how to cope with different SQL syntax for different Jdbc complaint databases via the JDBC escape syntax.

Course3

Course 3

Java Data Access - SQL Primer

This course will introduce the student to the basic concepts of SQL for interaction with Relational Databases. It will illustrate basic SQL statements to create and query tables, leverage table relationships through joins and subqueries, insert and update table rows. It is, however, only intended to cover the basics needed in order for the student to progress onto the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Jakarta Persistence (JPA) courses in the Data Access Specialization.

Course4

Course 4

Jakarta Persistence (JPA)

This course takes the student through a variety of labs exploring the interaction between Java Object Domain Models and Relational Database Tables, this is becoming the standard approach for database access in Java Applications. The course will illustrate how using meta data annotations, you can map domain objects to database tables, and class properties to columns in those tables for CRUD operations. The student will use numerous Query strategies to retrieve data from a database and consume the data in their applications with minimal effort. The course will talk about the how these meta data annotations can also map compositional and inheritance relationships between classes and a database schemas.
