The JDBC Tutorial is a good starting point

A snippet from the intro

The JDBC API is a Java API that can access any kind of tabular data, 
especially data stored in a Relational Database.

JDBC helps you to write java applications that manage these three programming 
activities:

   1. Connect to a data source, like a database
   2. Send queries and update statements to the database
   3. Retrieve and process the results received from the database in answer to 
      your query

      The following simple code fragment gives a simple example of
these three steps:

  Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection
             ( "jdbc:myDriver:wombat", "myLogin","myPassword");

  Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
  ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b, c FROM Table1");
  while (rs.next()) {
    int x = rs.getInt("a");
    String s = rs.getString("b");
    float f = rs.getFloat("c");
  }

      This short code fragment instantiates a DriverManager object to 
connect to a database driver and log into the database, instantiates a 
Statement object that carries your SQL language query to the database; 
instantiates a ResultSet object that retrieves the results of your query, 
and executes a simple while loop, which retrieves and displays those 
results. It's that simple. 

There is also a book preview on Google Books here.

Answer 3

One you get comfortable with JDBC, you might want to consider using Spring`s support for JDBC. It provides a much nicer API (than the standard libraries) for accessing a database via JDBC

Answer 4

After reading jdbc tutorials take some attention to the base concepts: - connection - statement - query - resultset

Db authorisation belongs to conntection, query is the description of "what to do" - fetch data or update, resultset could be updatable(!) in some cases.

Answer 5

The last time I looked at the JDBC tutorial, it had a lot of code examples in it that would be a recipe for SQL Injection if they were used in a real app. I had to teach a class on JDBC and I was supposed to use the tutorial, but I had to supplement it with a security lecture.
