Introduction
Spring Data JDBC is a module in the Spring Framework that provides a lightweight and efficient approach to data access using JDBC. It eliminates the need for object-relational mapping (ORM) and supports the straightforward mapping of POJOs to database tables.
To set up and configure Spring Data JDBC, we add the relevant dependencies, configure a data source, define entity classes with proper annotations, create repository interfaces, and configure them appropriately. This allows for seamless integration of JDBC-based data access and management in our Spring application.
