There are some excellent book-length treatments of relational databases and JDBC in particular. One book I like is the JDBC API Tutorial and Reference (Addison Wesley, Reading: MA, 1999), in successive editions by Graham Hamilton and Rick Cattell, and then by Maydene Fisher, and then by Seth White and Mark Hapner, and finally by Maydene and Seth again. If you buy this book, be sure to get the most up-to-date edition!
In addition, Sun has an online tutorial on JDBC that contains some of the same material in the JDBC API Tutorial book.
