JDBC (Java Database Connectiveity) is an API (Application Programming Interface) That is, a collection of classes and
interfaces
JDBC is used for accessing databases from Java applications
Information is transferred from relations to objects and vice-versa
6
JDBC Architecture
Java code calls JDBC library JDBC loads a driver The driver talks to a particular DBMS An application can work with several DBMS by using corresponding drivers

7 Steps for Using JDBC
1. Load the driver2. Define the connection URL3. Establish the connection4. Create a Statement object5. Execute a query using the Statement6. Process the result7. Close the connection
10
1. Loading the Driver
Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver ”);Class.forName loads the given class dynamicallyWhen the driver is loaded, it automatically creates an instance of itself registers this instance within DriverManager
Another way:Driver driver = new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver();DriverManager.registerDriver(driver); MySql JDBC driver can be downloaded from here.
12
2. Define the connection URL
Every database is identified by a URLGiven a URL, DriverManager looks for the driver that can talk to the corresponding databaseDriverManager tries all registered drivers,until a suitable one is found
14
An Example
// A driver for imaginary1Class.forName("ORG.img.imgSQL1.imaginary1Driver");// A driver for imaginary2Driver driver = new
ORG.img.imgSQL2.imaginary2Driver();DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);//A driver for PostgreSQLClass.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

4. Create a Statement object
We use Statement objects in order to Query the DB Update the db(insert, update, create,
drop, …)
executeQuery returns a ResultSet object representing the query result (discussed later…)
19
5. Execute a query using the Statement
executeQuery returns a ResultSet object representing the query result (discussed later…)
21
Manipulating DB with Statement
executeUpdate is for data manipulation: insert, delete, update, create table, etc.executeUpdate returns the number of rows modified (or 0 for DDL commands)
24
7. Close the connection
Close Connections, Statements, and Result Sets con.close(); stmt.close(); rs.close()
26
ResultSet
ResultSet objects provide access to the tables generated as results of executing Statement queries.Only one ResultSet per Statement can be open at a given time!The table rows are retrieved in sequence: A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing
to its current row. next() moves the cursor to the next row
27
ResultSet Methodsboolean next()
Activates the next row First call to next() activates the first row Returns false if there are no more rows Not all of the next calls actually involve the DB
void close() Disposes of the ResultSet Allows to re-use the Statement that created it Automatically called by most Statement methods
Type getType(int columnIndex) Returns the given field as the given type Indices start at 1 and not 0! Add the column name as a comment if it is known!
Type getType(String columnName) Same, but uses name of field
int findColumn(String columnName) Looks up column index given column name
28
Timeout
Use setQueryTimeOut(int seconds) of Statement to set a timeout for the driver to wait for a query to be completed.If the operation is not completed in the given time, an SQLException is thrownWhat is it good for?
30
Null Values
In SQL, NULL means the field is empty Not the same as 0 or “”!
In JDBC, you must explicitly ask if the last read field was null ResultSet.wasNull(column)
For example, getInt(column) will return 0 if the value is either 0 or NULL!
31
Database TimeTimes in SQL are notoriously non-standardJava defines three classes to helpjava.sql.Date year, month, day
java.sql.Time hours, minutes, seconds
java.sql.Timestamp year, month, day, hours, minutes,
seconds, nanoseconds Usually use this one
33
Prepared Statements
The PreparedStatement object contains not just an SQL statement, but an SQL statement that has been precompiled. This means that when the
PreparedStatement is executed, the DBMS can just run the PreparedStatement SQL statement without having to compile it first.
Most often used for SQL statements that take parameters.
34
Creating a PreparedStatement Object
As with Statement objects, you create PreparedStatement objects with a Connection method.The following code create a PreparedStatement object that takes two input parameters:
35
Supplying Values for PreparedStatement Parameters
You need to supply values to be used in place of the question mark placeholders (if there are any) before you can execute a PreparedStatement object. You do this by calling one of the setXXX methods defined in the PreparedStatement class.
36
Example
the following line of code sets the first question mark placeholder to a Java int with a value of 75:
updateSales.setInt(1, 75);
The next example sets the second placeholder parameter to the string " Colombian":
updateSales.setString(2, "Colombian");
