BANGALORE, INDIA: pureQuery is IBM's new platform within Data Studio for developing Java database access applications.

Its simple API and integrated tooling make data access developers more productive and encourages coding best practices for improved performance.

Spring is an open source Java/J2EE application framework that offers higher level data access features like transaction management, resource management, and Data Access Object hierarchies which, when integrated with pureQuery, lead to a simpler application development and maintenance experience.

Objectives:

* Create a simple Java data access application using IBM Data Studio Developer to access the sample DB2 database

* Implement the same Java data access application with Spring’s JdbcTemplate

* Create a Data Studio pureQuery application with Spring

This tip guides you in creating a pureQuery application that uses the Spring Framework's Data Access features.
