Where can I get detailed documentation on using Firebird DB with Java?

Question

Java

Good day,
The bottom line is this: I'm applying for the position of junior server software developer. We were given a test task to build the software so that it interacts with the Firebird database, allowing you to make changes to it and display it on the localhost. There is very little information and examples on this DBMS, and the information that is in the attached documentation is not enough to build a full-fledged web application. I also do not find answers to the errors that arise, tk. again, there is very little information on the Internet, even in English-language sources.
I showed an alternative with MySQL, but it was not accepted, because. Firebird is necessary. And I am such a person that I can’t figure it out if I don’t see a good example and I don’t figure it out myself, hence difficulties arise.
Can someone tell me where to start or links to examples? There are no necessary examples on the github, and I can’t find any books or information with examples of how to build a web application with this DBMS :(

Answer 1

Java has JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) for this . Such a universal set of interfaces for interacting with the database. All you need is to download the JDBC driver for Firebird , add it to your classpath, correct getting the driver in the code, it is possible to change the connection string to the database. And everything else should work without changes if you used only standard SQL constructs when working with the MySQL JDBC driver (without MySQL specifics)
