deploying java programs (applications)

Yes.  You have to provide  system-specific scripts or programs that wrap
the call to Java: a DOS batch for Windows, a shell script for Unix.

Yes, but again it is  system-specific.  Check out the documentation from
each OS vendor.   It is achieved differently on Windows,  Mac OS, Gnome,
etc.

> is it  possible to  bind an  sql database  with a  java front  end and

The easiest way  to do that is  using a Java RDBMS  like Hypersonic SQL.
Its classes simply has to be bundled in your application.
