Is this indicator specific to Oracle?  I set up the MySQL JDBC driver 
and had working queries in a matter of hours.  (I am not using complex 
database abstractions, simply submitting SQL queries with JDBC classes.)

I'm not sure about the Java tutorial on this topic, but if you read the 
File I/O chapter of Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java" (which you can 
download at http://mindview.net/ ), you can have File I/O basics down in 
a couple of hours.
