About This Document

For general information about the Cloudscape documentation, such as a complete list of books, conventions, and further reading, see "Using the Cloudscape Documentation".

Purpose of This Document

This book explains how to use the core Cloudscape technology and is for developers building Cloudscape applications. It describes basic Cloudscape concepts, such as how you create and access Cloudscape databases through JDBC methods, how you work with the Java extensions to SQL, and how you deploy Cloudscape applications.

Users working with Cloudscape synchronization will need additional information, which they will find in the Cloudscape Synchronization Guide. When using Cloudscape with a server framework, you will find that some minor instructions are different from those found in this book. Those details are in the Cloudscape Server and Administration Guide.

Audience

This book is intended for software developers who already know some SQL and Java. Cloudscape users who are not familiar with the SQL standard or the JavaTM programming language will benefit from consulting books on those subjects. See Further Reading in Using the Cloudscape Documentation for suggestions.
