In this chapter, we will discuss how to access database with JSP. We assume you have good understanding on how JDBC application works. Before starting with database access through a JSP, make sure you have proper JDBC environment setup along with a database.

For more detail on how to access database using JDBC and its environment setup you can go through our JDBC Tutorial.

To start with basic concept, let us create a table and create a few records in that table as follows −

Create Table

To create the Employees table in the EMP database, use the following steps −

Step 1

Open a Command Prompt and change to the installation directory as follows −

C:>
C:>cd Program FilesMySQLbin
C:Program FilesMySQLbin>

Step 2

Login to the database as follows −

C:Program FilesMySQLbin>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ********
mysql>

Step 3

Create the Employee table in the TEST database as follows − −

mysql> use TEST;
mysql> create table Employees
   (
      id int not null,
      age int not null,
      first varchar (255),
      last varchar (255)
   );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
mysql>

Create Data Records

Let us now create a few records in the Employee table as follows − −

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (100, 18, ''Zara'', ''Ali'');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
 
mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (101, 25, ''Mahnaz'', ''Fatma'');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
 
mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (102, 30, ''Zaid'', ''Khan'');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
 
mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (103, 28, ''Sumit'', ''Mittal'');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
 
mysql>

SELECT Operation

Following example shows how we can execute the SQL SELECT statement using JTSL in JSP programming −

<%@ page import = "java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import = "javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix = "sql"%>
 
<html>
   <head>
      <title>SELECT Operation</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      <sql:setDataSource var = "snapshot" driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
         url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST"
         user = "root"  password = "pass123"/>
 
      <sql:query dataSource = "${snapshot}" var = "result">
         SELECT * from Employees;
      </sql:query>
 
      <table border = "1" width = "100%">
         <tr>
            <th>Emp ID</th>
            <th>First Name</th>
            <th>Last Name</th>
            <th>Age</th>
         </tr>
         
         <c:forEach var = "row" items = "${result.rows}">
            <tr>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.id}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.first}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.last}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.age}"/></td>
            </tr>
         </c:forEach>
      </table>
 
   </body>
</html>

Access the above JSP, the following result will be displayed −




Emp ID
First Name
Last Name
Age




100
Zara
Ali
18




101
Mahnaz
Fatma

INSERT Operation

Following example shows how we can execute the SQL INSERT statement using JTSL in JSP programming −

<%@ page import = "java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import = "javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix = "sql"%>
 
<html>
   <head>
      <title>JINSERT Operation</title>
   </head>
   
   <body>
      <sql:setDataSource var = "snapshot" driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
         url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST"
         user = "root"  password = "pass123"/>
         <sql:update dataSource = "${snapshot}" var = "result">
         INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (104, 2, ''Nuha'', ''Ali'');
      </sql:update>
 
      <sql:query dataSource = "${snapshot}" var = "result">
         SELECT * from Employees;
      </sql:query>
 
      <table border = "1" width = "100%">
         <tr>
            <th>Emp ID</th>
            <th>First Name</th>
            <th>Last Name</th>
            <th>Age</th>
         </tr>
         
         <c:forEach var = "row" items = "${result.rows}">
            <tr>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.id}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.first}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.last}"/></td>
               <td><c:out value = "${row.age}"/></td>
            </tr>
         </c:forEach>
      </table>
