I’m studying for a programming interview in Java which may involve database access. Is there a good, easy framework that I can learn quickly and use during the programming test part of my interview? JDBC?
If you are familiar with DB concepts and wish to play around with Java, JDBC is a good place to start. It has a clean and neat API which will enable you to perform various database operations as you wish.
If you are looking for something more advanced, like Object-Relational-Mappings, then JPA (Java Persistence API) is a widely accepted standard. This is just a specification, so for concrete implementations you should refer to Hibernate, OpenJPA or TopLink.
I would assume that if they want to ask you about database access in Java then they are referring to JDBC, since JPA is a wider concept. From my experience, if interviewers want to see if I have experience in JPA, they usually say that in the job post.
