Exterior Wall Connection To Floor Sheathing

How do you properly connect an exterior wall to a wood joist and sheathed deck? I understand that at the foundation you have anchor bolts 48O.C. and in seismic areas you need hold downs. Once you get up to the first floor walls and you are building on a wood floor how do you connect the wall to the floor. My interpretation of the code is that you only need (2) 16d's 16 O.C. Is that really all you need? Do you typically do more than the code requires? Thanks for your input.
