Start Programming with the Examples

Simple Examples

Simple

/demo/programs/simple contains a simple Java application, along with step-by-step instructions for compiling and running it. It illustrates basic tasks such as:

  • starting Cloudscape, loading the Cloudscape JDBC driver
  • running in an embedded or a client/server environment (RmiJdbc or Cloudconnector)
  • establishing a connection
  • turning off auto-commit
  • creating a table
  • inserting and selecting data
  • disconnecting
  • shutting down Cloudscape

In this directory, the file demo/programs/simple/example.html contains the instructions for compiling and running the application.

Synchronization

Users who install Cloudsync get an application that illustrates the features of this product.

  • demo/programs/synchronization illustrates Cloudscape synchronization. This example/link is available only if you have purchased and installed Cloudsync.

A More Complex Example: The JBMSTours Tutorial

demo/programs/tours contains a complete sample application that builds and runs against the sample database, toursDB. The application consists of the Java package JBMSTours.

Learning Cloudscape: The Tutorial takes you step-by-step through building the database and then running queries and applications against it.

You can use the pre-built version of the database as well. From Cloudview, you can browse its data and dictionary objects and enter queries and other SQL-J statements from its SQL window.

In addition, you can do some of the lessons as stand-alone examples. These examples include:

  • storing images in the database
  • creating a servlet
  • creating a JDBC applet
  • accessing external data through Cloudscape's Virtual Table Interface
