newbie J2EE Database Server question

[SONYFX]

In the old J2EE 1.4 there's a Pointbase Console where I can execute SQL commands like creating tables. Does anyone know where this went in J2EE 5 or how I can do the same thing? Thanks!

What do you mean there's a sql console in j2ee 1.4? Google tells me pointbase is part of bea's weblogic which is only an implementation of j2ee, not j2ee itself. So when you say j2ee5, do you mean the version of weblogic that implements 5? Please specify what software you are actually using.

I am reading a book on J2EE 1.4, it says all I have to do is download J2EE 1.4 SDK and in its directory there is a place to "Start Pointbase" console.

Alright, I retract my previous assumptions about pointbase and bea 😛 I really have no experience with it or any idea why it's in the sdk 😕

I guess you could do a search for files with pointbase in the name and, if nothing turns up, assume that it's been removed for some reason. You should probably stick with 1.4 if you're reading a book for that, at least until you understand enough that you can make any necessary translations yourself. I imagine 1.5 is fairly different from 1.4 (didn't ejb3 make it into jee5?).
