JDBC APIs:


JDBC APIs:


If any java application or an applet wants to
connect with a database then there are various
classes and interfaces available in java.sql package.

Depending on the requirements these classes
and interfaces can be used.

Some of them are list out the below which are
used to perform the various tasks with database as
well as for connection.


Class or Interface Description

Java.sql.Connection Create a connection with specific database

The task of DriverManager is to manage the database
Java.sql.DriverManager
driver

It executes SQL statements for particular connection and
Java.sql.Statement
retrieve the results

It allows the programmer to create prepared SQL
Java.sql.PreparedStatement
statements

Java.sql.CallableStatement It executes stored procedures

This interface provides methods to get result row by row
Java.sql.ResultSet
generated by SELECT statements

Now we are going to elobrate each class or
interface in detail with their methods and will give
program for each one in next topic.


The Connection interface:


The Connection interface used to connect java
application with particular database.

After crating the connection with database we
can execute SQL statements for that particular
connection using object of Connection and retrieve the
results.

The interface has few methods that makes
changes to the database temporary or permanently.
The some methods are as given below.


Method Description
This method frees an object of type Connection from
void close()
database and other JDBC resources.

This method makes all the changes made since the last
void commit() commit or rollback permanent. It throws
SQLExeception.
This method creates an object of type Statement for
Statement createStatement() sending SQL statements to the database. It throws
SQLExeception.

boolean isClosed() Return true if the connection is close else return false.

This method creates an object of type
CallableStatement prepareCall(String s) CallableStatement for calling the stored procedures
from database. It throws SQLExeception.
This method creates an object of type
PreparedStatement PrepareStatement for sending dynamic (with or without
prepareStatement(String s) IN parameter) SQL statements to the database. It
throws SQLExeception.

void rollback() This method undoes all changes made to the database.

The example program for Connection interface
and its methods are given in next chapter for different
databases.


Statement Interface:


The Statement interface is used for to
execute a static query.

It’s a very simple and easy so it also calls a
“Simple Statement”.

The statement interface has several methods
for execute the SQL statements and also get the
appropriate result as per the query sent to the
database.

Some of the most common methods are as
given below

Method Description

This method frees an object of type Statement from
void close()

This method executes the SQL statement specified by s.
boolean execute(String s)
The getResultSet() method is used to retrieve the result.

This method retrieves the ResultSet that is generated by
ResultSet getResultet()
the execute() method.

ResultSet This method is used to execute the SQL statement
executeQuery(String s) specified by s and returns the object of type ResultSet.

This method returns the maximum number of rows those
int getMaxRows()
are generated by the executeQuery() method.

This method executes the SQL statement specified by s.
Int executeUpdate(String s) The SQL statement may be a SQL insert, update and
delete statement.

The example program for Statement interface
and its methods are given in next chapter for different
databases.


The Prepared Statement Interface:


The Prepared Statement interface is used to
execute a dynamic query (parameterized SQL
statement) with IN parameter.

IN Parameter:-

In some situation where we need to pass
different values to an query then such values can be
specified as a “?” in the query and the actual values
can be passed using the setXXX() method at the time
of execution.

Syntax :
setXXX(integer data ,XXX value); http://www.java2all.com

Where XXX means a data type as per the value
we want to pass in the query.
For example,
String query = "Select * from Data where ID = ? and
Name = ? ";
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setInt(1, 1);
ps.setString(2, "Ashutosh Abhangi");
The Prepared statement interface has several
methods to execute the parameterized SQL statements
and retrieve appropriate result as per the query sent to
the database.
Some of the most common methods are as given
below http://www.java2all.com

Method Description
This method frees an object of type Prepared Statement from
void close()

This method executes the dynamic query in the object of type
boolean execute() Prepared Statement.The getResult() method is used to
retrieve the result.
This method is used to execute the dynamic query in the
ResultSet executeQuery() object of type Prepared Statement and returns the object of
type ResultSet.

This method executes the SQL statement in the object of type
Int executeUpdate() Prepared Statement. The SQL statement may be a SQL
insert, update and delete statement.

The ResultSetMetaData means a deta about the data of
ResultSet.This method retrieves an object of type
ResultSetMetaData getMetaData() ResultSetMetaData that contains information about the
columns of the ResultSet object that will be return when a
query is execute.

This method returns the maximum number of rows those are
int getMaxRows()
generated by the executeQuery() method.

The example program for Prepared Statement
interface and its methods are given in next chapter for
different databases.
