This document discusses Java database connectivity (JDBC) and CRUD operations using JDBC and SQL Server. It covers how to configure a JDBC-ODBC data source name to connect to an SQL Server database, use the JDBC API to connect to the database and execute basic SQL statements to perform CRUD operations. It also demonstrates how to use prepared statements to query and modify data in a more efficient way by binding parameters at runtime. Code examples are provided to show how to connect to a database, insert, update, delete and retrieve rows from a table.
