The examples in this topic use SDK for Java 2.x as a starting point for writing Athena applications.

**Note**  
For information about programming Athena using other language-specific AWS SDKs, see the following resources:

**Note**  
These samples use constants (for example, `ATHENA_SAMPLE_QUERY`) for strings, which are defined in an `ExampleConstants.java` class declaration. Replace these constants with your own strings or defined constants.
