Java & MySQL – Commit & Rollback ”; Previous Next Once you are done with your changes and you want to commit the changes then call commit() method on connection object as follows − conn.commit( ); Otherwise, to roll back updates to the database made using the Connection named conn, use the following code − conn.rollback( ); The following example illustrates the use of a commit and rollback object − try{ //Assume a valid connection object conn conn.setAutoCommit(false); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); String SQL = “INSERT INTO Employees ” + “VALUES (106, 20, ”Rita”, ”Tez”)”; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); //Submit a malformed SQL statement that breaks String SQL = “INSERTED IN Employees ” + “VALUES (107, 22, ”Sita”, ”Singh”)”; stmt.executeUpdate(SQL); // If there is no error. conn.commit(); }catch(SQLException se){ // If there is any error. conn.rollback(); } In this case, none of the above INSERT statement would success and everything would be rolled back. Following is the example, which makes use of commit and rollback described. This sample code has been written based on the environment and database setup done in the previous chapters. Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; static final String QUERY = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees”; static final String INSERT_QUERY = “INSERT INTO Employees (first, last, age) values(”Rita”, ”Tez”, 20)”; static final String INSERT_QUERY_2 = “INSERT INTO Employees (first, last, age) values(”Sita”, ”Singh”, 20)”; public static void printResultSet(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException{ // Ensure we start with first row rs.beforeFirst(); while(rs.next()){ // Display values System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } System.out.println(); } public static void main(String[] args) { Connection conn = null; Statement stmt = null; try{ // Open a connection System.out.println(“Connecting to database…”); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS); // Set auto commit as false. conn.setAutoCommit(false); // Execute a query to create statment with // required arguments for RS example. System.out.println(“Creating statement…”); stmt = conn.createStatement( ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); // INSERT a row into Employees table System.out.println(“Inserting one row….”); stmt.executeUpdate(INSERT_QUERY); // INSERT one more row into Employees table stmt.executeUpdate(INSERT_QUERY_2); // Commit data here. System.out.println(“Commiting data here….”); conn.commit(); // Now list all the available records. String sql = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees”; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); System.out.println(“List result set for reference….”); printResultSet(rs); // Clean-up environment rs.close(); stmt.close(); conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); // If there is an error then rollback the changes. System.out.println(“Rolling back data here….”); try{ if(conn!=null) conn.rollback(); }catch(SQLException se2){ se2.printStackTrace(); } }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); }finally{ // finally block used to close resources try{ if(stmt!=null) stmt.close(); }catch(SQLException se2){ se2.printStackTrace(); } try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); } } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Connecting to database… Creating statement… Inserting one row….

Java & MySQL – Statement ”; Previous Next JDBC Statement interface defines the methods and properties to enable send SQL commands to MySQL database and retrieve data from the database. Statement is used for general-purpose access to your database. It is useful when you are using static SQL statements at runtime. The Statement interface cannot accept parameters. Before you can use a Statement object to execute a SQL statement, you need to create one using the Connection object”s createStatement( ) method, as in the following example − Statement stmt = null; try { stmt = conn.createStatement( ); . . . } catch (SQLException e) { . . . } finally { . . . } Once you”ve created a Statement object, you can then use it to execute an SQL statement with one of its three execute methods. boolean execute (String SQL) − Returns a boolean value of true if a ResultSet object can be retrieved; otherwise, it returns false. Use this method to execute SQL DDL statements or when you need to use truly dynamic SQL. int executeUpdate (String SQL) − Returns the number of rows affected by the execution of the SQL statement. Use this method to execute SQL statements for which you expect to get a number of rows affected – for example, an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. ResultSet executeQuery (String SQL) − Returns a ResultSet object. Use this method when you expect to get a result set, as you would with a SELECT statement. Closing Statement Object Just as you close a Connection object to save database resources, for the same reason you should also close the Statement object. A simple call to the close() method will do the job. If you close the Connection object first, it will close the Statement object as well. However, you should always explicitly close the Statement object to ensure proper cleanup. Statement stmt = null; try { stmt = conn.createStatement( ); . . . } catch (SQLException e) { . . . } finally { stmt.close(); } We”re using try with resources which handles the resource closure automatically. Following example demonstrates all of the above said concepts. This code has been written based on the environment and database setup done in the previous chapter. Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; static final String QUERY = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees”; static final String UPDATE_QUERY = “UPDATE Employees set age=30 WHERE id=103”; public static void main(String[] args) { // Open a connection try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); ) { // Let us check if it returns a true Result Set or not. Boolean ret = stmt.execute(UPDATE_QUERY); System.out.println(“Return value is : ” + ret.toString() ); // Let us update age of the record with ID = 103; int rows = stmt.executeUpdate(UPDATE_QUERY); System.out.println(“Rows impacted : ” + rows ); // Let us select all the records and display them. ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(QUERY); // Extract data from result set while (rs.next()) { // Retrieve by column name System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Return value is : false Rows impacted : 1 ID: 100, Age: 18, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 101, Age: 25, First: Mehnaz, Last: Fatma ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 30, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal C:> Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

Java & MySQL – PreparedStatement ”; Previous Next The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface, which gives you added functionality with a couple of advantages over a generic Statement object. This statement gives you the flexibility of supplying arguments dynamically. Creating PreparedStatement Object PreparedStatement pstmt = null; try { String SQL = “Update Employees SET age = ? WHERE id = ?”; pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(SQL); . . . } catch (SQLException e) { . . . } finally { . . . } All parameters in JDBC are represented by the ? symbol, which is known as the parameter marker. You must supply values for every parameter before executing the SQL statement. The setXXX() methods bind values to the parameters, where XXX represents the Java data type of the value you wish to bind to the input parameter. If you forget to supply the values, you will receive an SQLException. Each parameter marker is referred by its ordinal position. The first marker represents position 1, the next position 2, and so forth. This method differs from that of Java array indices, which starts at 0. All of the Statement object”s methods for interacting with the database (a) execute(), (b) executeQuery(), and (c) executeUpdate() also work with the PreparedStatement object. However, the methods are modified to use SQL statements that can input the parameters. Closing PreparedStatement Object Just as you close a Statement object, for the same reason you should also close the PreparedStatement object. A simple call to the close() method will do the job. If you close the Connection object first, it will close the PreparedStatement object as well. However, you should always explicitly close the PreparedStatement object to ensure proper cleanup. PreparedStatement pstmt = null; try { String SQL = “Update Employees SET age = ? WHERE id = ?”; pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(SQL); . . . } catch (SQLException e) { . . . } finally { pstmt.close(); } We”re using try with resources which handles the resource closure automatically. Following example demonstrates all of the above said concepts. This code has been written based on the environment and database setup done in the previous chapter. Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; static final String QUERY = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees”; static final String UPDATE_QUERY = “UPDATE Employees set age=? WHERE id=?”; public static void main(String[] args) { // Open a connection try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(UPDATE_QUERY); ) { // Bind values into the parameters. stmt.setInt(1, 35); // This would set age stmt.setInt(2, 102); // This would set ID // Let us update age of the record with ID = 102; int rows = stmt.executeUpdate(); System.out.println(“Rows impacted : ” + rows ); // Let us select all the records and display them. ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(QUERY); // Extract data from result set while (rs.next()) { // Retrieve by column name System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Return value is : false Rows impacted : 1 ID: 100, Age: 18, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 101, Age: 25, First: Mehnaz, Last: Fatma ID: 102, Age: 35, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 30, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal C:> Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

Java & MySQL – Environment Setup ”; Previous Next To start developing with JDBC, you should setup your JDBC environment by following the steps shown below. We assume that you are working on a Windows platform. Install Java Java SE is available for download for free. To download click here, please download a version compatible with your operating system. Follow the instructions to download Java, and run the .exe to install Java on your machine. Once you have installed Java on your machine, you would need to set environment variables to point to correct installation directories. Setting Up the Path for Windows 2000/XP Assuming you have installed Java in c:Program Filesjavajdk directory − Right-click on ”My Computer” and select ”Properties”. Click on the ”Environment variables” button under the ”Advanced” tab. Now, edit the ”Path” variable and add the path to the Java executable directory at the end of it. For example, if the path is currently set to C:WindowsSystem32, then edit it the following way C:WindowsSystem32;c:Program Filesjavajdkbin Setting Up the Path for Windows 95/98/ME Assuming you have installed Java in c:Program Filesjavajdk directory − Edit the ”C:autoexec.bat” file and add the following line at the end − SET PATH = %PATH%;C:Program Filesjavajdkbin Setting Up the Path for Linux, UNIX, Solaris, FreeBSD Environment variable PATH should be set to point to where the Java binaries have been installed. Refer to your shell documentation if you have trouble doing this. For example, if you use bash as your shell, then you would add the following line at the end of your .bashrc − export PATH = /path/to/java:$PATH” You automatically get both JDBC packages java.sql and javax.sql, when you install J2SE Development Kit. Install MySQL Database The most important thing you will need, of course is an actual running database with a table that you can query and modify. MySQL DB − MySQL is an open source database. You can download it from MySQL Official Site. We recommend downloading the full Windows installation. In addition, download and install MySQL Administrator as well as MySQL Query Browser. These are GUI based tools that will make your development much easier. Finally, download and unzip MySQL Connector/J (the MySQL JDBC driver) in a convenient directory. For the purpose of this tutorial we will assume that you have installed the driver at C:Program FilesMySQLmysql-connector-java-5.1.8. Accordingly, set CLASSPATH variable to C:Program FilesMySQLmysql-connector-java-5.1.8mysql-connector-java-5.1.8-bin.jar. Your driver version may vary based on your installation. Set Database Credential When we install MySQL database, its administrator ID is set to root and it gives provision to set a password of your choice. Using root ID and password you can either create another user ID and password, or you can use root ID and password for your JDBC application. There are various database operations like database creation and deletion, which would need administrator ID and password. For rest of the JDBC tutorial, we would use MySQL Database with guest as ID and guest123 as password. If you do not have sufficient privilege to create new users, then you can ask your Database Administrator (DBA) to create a user ID and password for you. Create Database To create the TUTORIALSPOINT 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> Note − The path to mysqld.exe may vary depending on the install location of MySQL on your system. You can also check documentation on how to start and stop your database server. Step 2 Start the database server by executing the following command, if it is already not running. C:Program FilesMySQLbin>mysqld C:Program FilesMySQLbin> Step 3 Create the TUTORIALSPOINT database by executing the following command − C:Program FilesMySQLbin> mysqladmin create TUTORIALSPOINT -u guest -p Enter password: ******** C:Program FilesMySQLbin> Create Table To create the Employees table in TUTORIALSPOINT 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 guest -p Enter password: ******** mysql> Step 3 Create the table Employees as follows − mysql> use TUTORIALSPOINT; 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 Finally you create few records in 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> For a complete understanding on MySQL database, study the MySQL Tutorial. Now you are ready to start experimenting with JDBC. Next chapter gives you a sample example on JDBC Programming. Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

Java & MySQL – Quick Guide ”; Previous Next Java & MySQL – Overview JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity, which is a standard Java API for database-independent connectivity between the Java programming language and a wide range of databases. The JDBC library includes APIs for each of the tasks mentioned below that are commonly associated with database usage. Making a connection to a database. Creating SQL or MySQL statements. Executing SQL or MySQL queries in the database. Viewing & Modifying the resulting records. Fundamentally, JDBC is a specification that provides a complete set of interfaces that allows for portable access to an underlying database. Java can be used to write different types of executables, such as − Java Applications Java Applets Java Servlets Java ServerPages (JSPs) Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs). All of these different executables are able to use a JDBC driver to access a database, and take advantage of the stored data. JDBC provides the same capabilities as ODBC, allowing Java programs to contain database-independent code. Pre-Requisite Before moving further, you need to have a good understanding of the following two subjects − Core JAVA Programming SQL or MySQL Database JDBC Architecture The JDBC API supports both two-tier and three-tier processing models for database access but in general, JDBC Architecture consists of two layers − JDBC API − This provides the application-to-JDBC Manager connection. JDBC Driver API − This supports the JDBC Manager-to-Driver Connection. The JDBC API uses a driver manager and database-specific drivers to provide transparent connectivity to heterogeneous databases. The JDBC driver manager ensures that the correct driver is used to access each data source. The driver manager is capable of supporting multiple concurrent drivers connected to multiple heterogeneous databases. Following is the architectural diagram, which shows the location of the driver manager with respect to the JDBC drivers and the Java application − Common JDBC Components The JDBC API provides the following interfaces and classes − DriverManager − This class manages a list of database drivers. Matches connection requests from the java application with the proper database driver using communication sub protocol. The first driver that recognizes a certain subprotocol under JDBC will be used to establish a database Connection. Driver − This interface handles the communications with the database server. You will interact directly with Driver objects very rarely. Instead, you use DriverManager objects, which manages objects of this type. It also abstracts the details associated with working with Driver objects. Connection − This interface with all methods for contacting a database. The connection object represents communication context, i.e., all communication with database is through connection object only. Statement − You use objects created from this interface to submit the SQL statements to the database. Some derived interfaces accept parameters in addition to executing stored procedures. ResultSet − These objects hold data retrieved from a database after you execute an SQL query using Statement objects. It acts as an iterator to allow you to move through its data. SQLException − This class handles any errors that occur in a database application. The JDBC 4.0 Packages The java.sql and javax.sql are the primary packages for JDBC 4.0. This is the latest JDBC version at the time of writing this tutorial. It offers the main classes for interacting with your data sources. The new features in these packages include changes in the following areas − Automatic database driver loading. Exception handling improvements. Enhanced BLOB/CLOB functionality. Connection and statement interface enhancements. National character set support. SQL ROWID access. SQL 2003 XML data type support. Annotations. Java & MySQL – Environment Setup To start developing with JDBC, you should setup your JDBC environment by following the steps shown below. We assume that you are working on a Windows platform. Install Java Java SE is available for download for free. To download click here, please download a version compatible with your operating system.

Click on the ”Environment variables” button under the ”Advanced” tab. Now, edit the ”Path” variable and add the path to the Java executable directory at the end of it. For example, if the path is currently set to C:WindowsSystem32, then edit it the following way C:WindowsSystem32;c:Program Filesjavajdkbin Setting Up the Path for Windows 95/98/ME Assuming you have installed Java in c:Program Filesjavajdk directory − Edit the ”C:autoexec.bat” file and add the following line at the end − SET PATH = %PATH%;C:Program Filesjavajdkbin Setting Up the Path for Linux, UNIX, Solaris, FreeBSD Environment variable PATH should be set to point to where the Java binaries have been installed. Refer to your shell documentation if you have trouble doing this. For example, if you use bash as your shell, then you would add the following line at the end of your .bashrc − export PATH = /path/to/java:$PATH” You automatically get both JDBC packages java.sql and javax.sql, when you install J2SE Development Kit. Install Database The most important thing you will need, of course is an actual running database with a table that you can query and modify. Install a database that is most suitable for you. You can have plenty of choices and most

Java & MySQL – Batch Processing ”; Previous Next Batch Processing allows you to group related SQL statements into a batch and submit them with one call to the database. When you send several SQL statements to the database at once, you reduce the amount of communication overhead, thereby improving performance. JDBC drivers are not required to support this feature. You should use the DatabaseMetaData.supportsBatchUpdates() method to determine if the target database supports batch update processing. The method returns true if your JDBC driver supports this feature. The addBatch() method of Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement is used to add individual statements to the batch. The executeBatch() is used to start the execution of all the statements grouped together. The executeBatch() returns an array of integers, and each element of the array represents the update count for the respective update statement. Just as you can add statements to a batch for processing, you can remove them with the clearBatch() method. This method removes all the statements you added with the addBatch() method. However, you cannot selectively choose which statement to remove. Batching with Statement Object Here is a typical sequence of steps to use Batch Processing with Statement Object − Create a Statement object using either createStatement() methods. Set auto-commit to false using setAutoCommit(). Add as many as SQL statements you like into batch using addBatch() method on created statement object. Execute all the SQL statements using executeBatch() method on created statement object. Finally, commit all the changes using commit() method. Example The following code snippet provides an example of a batch update using Statement object − // Create statement object Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); // Set auto-commit to false conn.setAutoCommit(false); // Create SQL statement String SQL = “INSERT INTO Employees (id, first, last, age) ” + “VALUES(200,”Zia”, ”Ali”, 30)”; // Add above SQL statement in the batch. stmt.addBatch(SQL); // Create one more SQL statement String SQL = “INSERT INTO Employees (id, first, last, age) ” + “VALUES(201,”Raj”, ”Kumar”, 35)”; // Add above SQL statement in the batch. stmt.addBatch(SQL); // Create one more SQL statement String SQL = “UPDATE Employees SET age = 35 ” + “WHERE id = 100”; // Add above SQL statement in the batch. stmt.addBatch(SQL); // Create an int[] to hold returned values int[] count = stmt.executeBatch(); //Explicitly commit statements to apply changes conn.commit(); Batching with PrepareStatement Object Here is a typical sequence of steps to use Batch Processing with PrepareStatement Object − Create SQL statements with placeholders. Create PrepareStatement object using either prepareStatement() methods. Set auto-commit to false using setAutoCommit(). Add as many as SQL statements you like into batch using addBatch() method on created statement object. Execute all the SQL statements using executeBatch() method on created statement object. Finally, commit all the changes using commit() method. The following code snippet provides an example of a batch update using PrepareStatement object − // Create SQL statement String SQL = “INSERT INTO Employees (id, first, last, age) ” + “VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?)”; // Create PrepareStatement object PreparedStatemen pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(SQL); //Set auto-commit to false conn.setAutoCommit(false); // Set the variables pstmt.setInt( 1, 400 ); pstmt.setString( 2, “Pappu” ); pstmt.setString( 3, “Singh” ); pstmt.setInt( 4, 33 ); // Add it to the batch pstmt.addBatch(); // Set the variables pstmt.setInt( 1, 401 ); pstmt.setString( 2, “Pawan” ); pstmt.setString( 3, “Singh” ); pstmt.setInt( 4, 31 ); // Add it to the batch pstmt.addBatch(); //add more batches . . . . //Create an int[] to hold returned values int[] count = stmt.executeBatch(); //Explicitly commit statements to apply changes conn.commit(); Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

Java & MySQL – LIKE Clause Example ”; Previous Next This chapter provides an example on how to select records from a table using JDBC application. This would add additional conditions using LIKE clause while selecting records from the table. Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place − To execute the following example you can replace the username and password with your actual user name and password. Your MySQL database you are using, is up and running. Required Steps The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application − Import the packages − Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import java.sql.* will suffice. Open a connection − Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a database server. Execute a query − Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an SQL statement to fetch records from a table which meet given condition. This Query makes use of LIKE clause to select records to select all the students whose first name starts with “za”. Clean up the environment − try with resources automatically closes the resources. Sample Code Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; static final String QUERY = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration”; public static void main(String[] args) { // Open a connection try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();) { System.out.println(“Fetching records without condition…”); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(QUERY); while(rs.next()){ //Display values System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } // Select all records having ID equal or greater than 101 System.out.println(“Fetching records with condition…”); String sql = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration” + ” WHERE first LIKE ”%za%””; rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ //Display values System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Fetching records without condition… ID: 100, Age: 30, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal Fetching records with condition… ID: 100, Age: 30, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan C:> Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

This would add additional conditions using WHERE clause while selecting records from the table. Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place − To execute the following example you can replace the username and password with your actual user name and password. Your MySQL database you are using, is up and running. Required Steps The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application − Import the packages − Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes needed for the database programming. Most often, using import java.sql.* will suffice. Register the JDBC driver − Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a communications channel with the database. Open a connection − Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a database server. Execute a query − Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an SQL statement to fetch records from a table, which meet the given condition. This Query makes use of the WHERE clause to select records. Clean up the environment − try with resources automatically closes the resources. Sample Code Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; static final String QUERY = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration”; public static void main(String[] args) { // Open a connection try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();) { System.out.println(“Fetching records without condition…”); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(QUERY); while(rs.next()){ //Display values System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } // Select all records having ID equal or greater than 101 System.out.println(“Fetching records with condition…”); String sql = “SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration” + ” WHERE id >= 101 “; rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ //Display values System.out.print(“ID: ” + rs.getInt(“id”)); System.out.print(“, Age: ” + rs.getInt(“age”)); System.out.print(“, First: ” + rs.getString(“first”)); System.out.println(“, Last: ” + rs.getString(“last”)); } rs.close(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Fetching records without condition… ID: 100, Age: 30, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal Fetching records with condition… ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal C:> Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;

Java & MySQL – Insert Records Example ”; Previous Next This chapter provides an example on how to insert records in a table using JDBC application. Before executing following example, make sure you have the following in place − To execute the following example you can replace the username and password with your actual user name and password. Your MySQL database you are using is up and running. Required Steps The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application − Import the packages − Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import java.sql.* will suffice. Register the JDBC driver − Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a communications channel with the database. Open a connection − Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a database server. Execute a query − Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an SQL statement to insert records into a table. Clean up the environment − try with resources automatically closes the resources. Sample Code Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows − import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class TestApplication { static final String DB_URL = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT”; static final String USER = “guest”; static final String PASS = “guest123”; public static void main(String[] args) { // Open a connection try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); ) { // Execute a query System.out.println(“Inserting records into the table…”); String sql = “INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (100, ”Zara”, ”Ali”, 18)”; stmt.executeUpdate(sql); sql = “INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (101, ”Mahnaz”, ”Fatma”, 25)”; stmt.executeUpdate(sql); sql = “INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (102, ”Zaid”, ”Khan”, 30)”; stmt.executeUpdate(sql); sql = “INSERT INTO Registration VALUES(103, ”Sumit”, ”Mittal”, 28)”; stmt.executeUpdate(sql); System.out.println(“Inserted records into the table…”); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Now let us compile the above example as follows − C:>javac TestApplication.java C:> When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result − C:>java TestApplication Inserting records into the table… Inserted records into the table… C:> Print Page Previous Next Advertisements ”;
