Kathy Seirra, Bert Bates

After having finished Khalid Azimi Mughal, I went to National Book Trade at T.nagar, Chennai. The store has really fantastic collections. I took the book "Sun Java2 Certification for Programmers and Developers" by Kathy Seirra, Bert Bates. I am yet to jump into it.

More errors, More challenges

Oops! Day to day, now & then, I face some inteteresting (and silly) errors. Few of them,
java.sql.Exception: Exhaustive resultset
[when, no record in table, this exception!]
No suitable driver found
Che...I forgot to include the line for loading driver!!
CallableStatement Errors:
I am happy to use procedures in jdbc.

My first Database in Oracle 9

Often I puzzled with creating own database in oracle. Mysql was pretty easier, but how big step it is in oracle!
Also, here is code for asccessing newly created db: (using jdbc)

---------
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "scott");
props.put("password", "tiger");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
---------

Ranchers way.. && PL/sql

During these time, I practice with mock questions (as sugessted by javaranchers). Also, training classes go on with Pl/sql. It seems easy and interesting. I made my first 'factorial program in Pl/sql'. (But, I know thats not the purpose for which Pl/sql used! :)) )

I have limited time access to internet. So, no time to record all nice things I learnt. Sure, one day will have some bandwidth to write everything!

Profile -> silent

Oops! Whats my tought time is, to listen to "management, Hr seminars!" I put my brain itself in silent mode for the past days, since I dont know their language.
Now I actived profile -> 127.0.0.1. Feeling relaxed. I am composing some new ringtones. Also, willing to compose "Braveheart"'s theme ringtone. I feel no one for help except Google.
