JDBC API

The JDBC API (Java Database Connectivity API) is a set of tools in Java that allows programs to connect to and interact with databases. It provides a standardized way for software to send queries, retrieve data, and perform updates in various types of databases like MySQL or Oracle. Think of it as a translator that lets Java applications communicate seamlessly with databases, managing data efficiently without needing to understand the complex details of each database system. This makes it easier for developers to build applications that work across different database platforms.
