    Java & Oracle

    I want to start getting into database programming but not sure if i want to use SQLServer or Oracle as a back end. I noticed that most Java database programming uses Oracle. It also looks like Oracle owns 39.4% of the market vs. IBM DB2 33.6%, Microsoft SQL Server 11.1%. http://www.oracle.com/ip/index.html?database1.html What do you guys think?

    Use a generic frontend so it doesn't matter. JDBC for example.

    Wow pretty cool. Straight from suns site.
    "JDBC technology is an API that lets you access virtually any tabular data source from the Java programming language. It provides cross-DBMS connectivity to a wide range of SQL databases, and now, with the new JDBC API, it also provides access to other tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets or flat files."
    Thanks
