Introduction of Java Database Connectivity

JDBC - Java Database Connectivity.

JDBC provides API or Protocol to interact with different databases.

With the help of JDBC driver we can connect with different types of databases.

Driver is must needed for connection establishment with any database.

A driver works as an interface between the client and a database server.

JDBC have so many classes and interfaces that allow a java application to send request made by
user to any specific DBMS(Data Base Management System).

JDBC supports a wide level of portability.

JDBC provides interfaces that are compatible with java application.

components and specification of JDBC:

Components of JDBC:

JDBC has four main components as under and with the help of these components java
application can connect with database.

The JDBC API - it provides various methods and interfaces for easy communication with
database.

The JDBC DriverManager - it loads database specific drivers in an application to establish

connection with database.

The JDBC test suite - it will be used to test an operation being performed by JDBC drivers.

The JDBC-ODBC bridge - it connects database drivers to the database.

JDBC Specification:

Different version of JDBC has different specification as under.

JDBC 1.0 - it provides basic functionality of JDBC

JDBC 2.0 - it provides JDBC API(JDBC 2.0 Core API and JDBC 2.0 Optional Package API).

JDBC 3.0 - it provides classes and interfaces in two packages(java.sql and javax.sql).

JDBC 4.0 - it provides so many extra features like

Auto loading of the driver interface.

Connection management

ROWID data type support.

Enhanced support for large object like BLOB(Binary Large Object) and CLOB(Character Large
Object).

What Does JDBC Do?

Simply put, JDBC makes it possible to do three things:

1. establish a connection with a database

Email:[email protected]
2. send SQL statements
3. process the results.

JavaSoft provides three JDBC product components as part of the Java Developer's Kit (JDK):

1. . the JDBC driver manager,

2. . the JDBC driver test suite, and
3. . the JDBC-ODBC bridge.

The JDBC driver manager is the backbone of the JDB architecture. It actually is quite small and
simple; its primary function is to connect Java applications to the correct JDBC driver and then
get out of the way

JDBC Architecture:

As we all know now that driver is required to communicate with database.

JDBC API provides classes and interfaces to handle request made by user and response made by
database.

Some of the important JDBC API are as under.

DriverManager

Driver

Connection

Statement

PreparedStatement

CallableStatement

ResultSet

DatabaseMetaData

ResultSetMetaData

Here The DriverManager plays an important role in JDBC architecture.

It uses some database specific drivers to communicate our J2EE application to database.

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

As per the diagram first of all we have to program our application with JDBC API.

With the help of DriverManager class than we connect to a specific database with the help of
spcific database driver.

Java drivers require some library to communicate with the database.

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
We have four different types of java drivers.

We will learn all that four drivers with architecture in next chapter.

Some drivers are pure java drivers and some are partial.

So with this kind of JDBC architecture we can communicate with specific database.

JDBC Drivers:

JDBC Driver Types:

There are four categories of drivers by which developer can apply a connection between Client
(The JAVA application or an applet) to a DBMS.

(1) Type 1 Driver : JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

(2) Type 2 Driver : Native-API Driver (Partly Java driver).

(3) Type 3 Driver : Network-Protocol Driver (Pure Java driver for database Middleware).

(4) Type 4 Driver : Native-Protocol Driver (Pure Java driver directly connected to database).

(1) Type 1 Driver: JDBC-ODBC Bridge :-

The JDBC type 1 driver which is also known as a JDBC-ODBC Bridge is a convert JDBC
methods into ODBC function calls.

SunprovidesJDBC-ODBCBridge driver by “sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”.

The driver is a platform dependent because it uses ODBC which is depends on native libraries of
the operating system and also the driver needs other installation for example, ODBC must be
installed on the computer and the database must support ODBC driver.

Type 1 is the simplest compare to all other driver but it’s a platform specific i.e. only on
Microsoft platform.

For type-1 we create the DSN name.

Steps for DSN:

1. Start

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
 2. Control panel
3. Administrator tools
4. Data source odbc
5. System dsn
6. Add
7. Microsoft oracle for odbc
8. Finish
9. ora

The JDBC-ODBC Bridge is use only when there is no PURE-JAVA driver available for a
particular database.

The driver is a platform dependent because it uses ODBC which is depends on native libraries of
the operating system and also the driver needs other installation for example, ODBC must be
installed on the computer and the database must support ODBC driver.

Java DB is Oracle's supported distribution of the open source Apache Derby database. Its ease of
use, standards compliance, full feature set, and small footprint make it the ideal database for Java
developers. Java DB is written in the Java programming language, providing "write once, run
anywhere" portability. It can be embedded in Java applications, requiring zero administration by
the developer or user. It can also be used in client server mode. Java DB is fully transactional and
provides a standard SQL interface.

The JDBC driver manager is the backbone of the JDB architecture. It actually is quite small and
simple; its primary function is to connect Java applications to the correct JDBC driver and then
get out of the way

Process:
Java Application → JDBC APIs → JDBC Driver Manager → Type 1 Driver → ODBC
Driver → Database library APIs → Database

Advantage:

(1) Connect to almost any database on any system, for which ODBC driver is installed.

(2) It’s an easy for installation as well as easy(simplest) to use as compare the all other driver.

Disadvantage:
(1) The ODBC Driver needs to be installed on the client machine.

(2) It’s a not a purely platform independent because its use ODBC which is depends on native
libraries of the operating system on client machine.

(3) Not suitable for applets because the ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client machine.

(2) Type 2 Driver: Native-API Driver (Partly Java driver) :-

The JDBC type 2 driver is uses the libraries of the database which is available at client side and
this driver converts the JDBC method calls into native calls of the database so this driver is also
known as a Native-API driver.

Architecture Diagram :

Email:[email protected]
Process:
Java Application → JDBC APIs → JDBC Driver Manager → Type 2 Driver → Vendor
Client Database library APIs → Database

Advantage:

(1) There is no implantation of JDBC-ODBC Bridge so it’s faster than a type 1 driver; hence
the performance is better as compare the type 1 driver (JDBC-ODBC Bridge).

Disadvantage:

(1) On the client machine require the extra installation because this driver uses the vendor client
libraries.

(2) The Client side software needed so cannot use such type of driver in the web-based
application.

(3) Not all databases have the client side library.

(4) This driver supports all JAVA applications except applets.

(3) Type 3 Driver: Network-Protocol Driver (Pure Java driver for database Middleware) :-

The JDBC type 3 driver uses the middle tier(application server) between the calling program and
the database and this middle tier converts JDBC method calls into the vendor specific database
protocol and the same driver can be used for multiple databases also so it’s also known as a
Network-Protocol driver as well as a JAVA driver for database middleware.

Architecture Diagram:

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
Process:

Java Application → JDBC APIs → JDBC Driver Manager → Type 3 Driver →

Middleware (Server)→ any Database

Advantage:

(1) There is no need for the vendor database library on the client machine because the
middleware is database independent and it communicates with client.

(2) Type 3 driver can be used in any web application as well as on internet also because there is
no any software require at client side.

(3) A single driver can handle any database at client side so there is no need a separate driver for
each database.

(4) The middleware server can also provide the typical services such as connections, auditing,
load balancing, logging etc.

Disadvantage:

(1) An Extra layer added, may be time consuming.

(2) At the middleware develop the database specific coding, may be increase complexity.

(4) Type 4 Driver: Native-Protocol Driver (Pure Java driver directly

connected to database) :-

The JDBC type 4 driver converts JDBC method calls directly into the vendor specific database
protocol and in between do not need to be converted any other formatted system so this is the
fastest way to communicate quires to DBMS and it is completely written in JAVA because of
that this is also known as the “direct to database Pure JAVA driver”.

If we are using type-4 driver in oracle then we need to add jar file to the class path because it was
given by third party.

Process:

Java Application → JDBC APIs → JDBC Driver Manager → Type 4 Driver (Pure JAVA
Driver) → Database Server

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
Advantage:
(1) It’s a 100% pure JAVA Driver so it’s a platform independence.

(2) No translation or middleware layers are used so consider as a faster than other drivers.

(3) The all process of the application-to-database connection can manage by JVM so the
debugging is also managed easily.

Disadvantage:

(1)There is a separate driver needed for each database at the client side.

(2) Drivers are Database dependent, as different database vendors use different network
protocols.

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
Java.sql.Statement
and 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

Java.sql.ResultSet
row generated by SELECT statements

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
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

void close()
from database and other JDBC resources.

This method makes all the changes made since the

void commit() last commit or rollback permanent. It throws
SQLExeception.

This method creates an object of type Statement

Statement createStatement() for sending SQL statements to the database. It
throws SQLExeception.

Return true if the connection is close else return

boolean isClosed()
false.

This method creates an object of type

CallableStatement for calling the stored
CallableStatement prepareCall(String s)
procedures from database. It throws
SQLExeception.

This method creates an object of type

PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String PrepareStatement for sending dynamic (with or
s) without IN parameter) SQL statements to the
database. It throws SQLExeception.

This method undoes all changes made to the

void rollback()
database.

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
void close()
from database and other JDBC resources.

This method executes the SQL statement specified

boolean execute(String s) by s. The getResultSet() method is used to retrieve
the result.

This method retrieves the ResultSet that is

ResultSet getResultet()
generated by the execute() method.

This method is used to execute the SQL statement

ResultSet executeQuery(String s) specified by s and returns the object of type
ResultSet.

This method returns the maximum number of rows

int getMaxRows()
those are generated by the executeQuery() method.

This method executes the SQL statement specified

Int executeUpdate(String s) by s. The SQL statement may be a SQL insert,
update and delete statement.

The Prepared Statement Interface:

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

IN Parameter:-

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
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);

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

Method Description

This method frees an object of type Prepared

void close() Statement from database and other JDBC
resources.
This method executes the dynamic query in the
boolean execute() object of type Prepared Statement.The
getResult() method is used to retrieve the result.
This method is used to execute the dynamic
query in the object of type Prepared
ResultSet executeQuery()
Statement and returns the object of type
ResultSet.
This method executes the SQL statement in the
object of type Prepared Statement. The SQL
Int executeUpdate()
statement may be a SQL insert, update and
delete statement.
The ResultSetMetaData means a deta about the
ResultSetMetaData getMetaData()
data of ResultSet.This method retrieves an

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
 object of type 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

int getMaxRows() rows those are generated by the executeQuery()
method.

The JDBC API

The JDBC API is based mainly on a set of interfaces, not classes. It's up to the manufacturer of
the driver to implement the interfaces with their own set of classes.

A class diagram that shows the basic JDBC classes and interfaces; these make up the core API.
Notice that the only concrete class is DriverManager. The rest of the core API is a set of
interfaces.

The interfaces of the core JDBC API

DriverManager is used to load a JDBC Driver. A Driver is a software vendor's implementation

of the JDBC API. After a driver is loaded, DriverManager is used to get a Connection.

In turn, a Connection is used to create a Statement, or to create and prepare a PreparedStatement

or CallableStatement.

Statement and PreparedStatement objects are used to execute SQL statements. CallableStatement
objects are used to execute stored procedures.
A Connection can also be used to get a DatabaseMetaData object describing a database's
functionality.

The results of executing a SQL statement using a Statement or PreparedStatement are

returned as a ResultSet.

A ResultSet can be used to get the actual returned data or a ResultSetMetaData object that can
be queried to identify the types of data returned in the ResultSet.

A Struct is a weakly typed object that represents a database object as a record.

A Ref is a reference to an object in a database. It can be used to get to a database object. An
Array is a weakly typed object that represents a database collection object as an array. The
SQLData interface is implemented by custom classes you write to represent database objects as
Java objects in your application. SQLInput and SQLOutput are used by the Driver in the creation
of your custom classes during retrieval and storage.

CallableStatement Interface
To call the stored procedures and functions, CallableStatement interface is used.

We can have business logic on the database by the use of stored procedures and
functions that will make the performance better because these are precompiled.

Suppose you need the get the age of the employee based on the date of birth, you may
create a function that receives date as the input and returns age of the employee as the
output.

1. The java.sql.CallableStatement is a part of JDBC API that describes a standard abstraction for the
CallableStatement object,implemented by third-party vendor as a part of JDBC driver.
2. The CallableStatement object provides support for both input and output parameters.

What is the difference between stored procedures and

functions.

The differences between stored procedures and functions are given below:

Stored Procedure Function

is used to perform business logic. is used to perform calculation.

must not have the return type. must have the return type.

may return 0 or more values. may return only one values.

We can call functions from the procedure. Procedure cannot be called from
function.
Procedure supports input and output Function supports only input parameter.
parameters.
Exception handling using try/catch block Exception handling using try/catch can't
can be used in stored procedures. be used in user defined functions.

K.Yellaswamy,Assistant Professor|CMR College of Engineering & Technology

Email:[email protected]
Syntax of creating a stored procedure:
Create or [Replace] Procedure procedure_name
[(parameter[,parameter])]
IS
[Declarations]
BEGIN
Executables
[EXCEPTION exceptions]
END [Procedure_name]

Steps to use CallableStatement in an Application are as follows:

1. Create the CallableStatement object
2. Setting the values of parameters
3. Registering the OUT parameter type
4. Excecuting the stored procedure or function
5. Retrieving the parameter values

Let’s discuss these steps in details

Create the CallableStatement object:

The first step to use CallableStatement is to create the CallableStatement object.The
CallableStatement object can be created by invoking the prepareCall(String) method of the
Connection object.
The syntax to call the prepareCall method in an application is as follows:
{call procedure_name(?,?,…)} //Calling the procedure method with parameters
{call procedure_name} //with no parameter

Setting the values of parameters

After creating the CallableStatement object,you need to set the values for the IN and IN OUT
type parameters of stored procedure.The values of these parameters can be set by calling the
setXXX() methods of the CallableStatement object.These methods are used to pass the values to
the IN OUT parameters.The values for the parameter can be set by using the following syntax:
setXXX(int index,XXX value)
Registering the OUT Parameter Type
The OUT or IN OUT parameters,which are used in a procedure and represented by
CallableStatement,must be registered to collect the values of the parameters after the stored
procedure is executed.
The parameters can be registered by using the following syntax:
registerOutParameter(int index,int type)
Excecuting the Stored Procedure or Function

After registering the OUT parameter type you need to execute the procedure by using execute()
method of CallableStatement object.The execute() method of CallableStatement does not take
any argument.

Retrieving the Parameter Values:
After executing the stored procedure,you can retrieve its OUT or IN OUT type parameter values.

EXECUTING A STORED PROCEDURE WITH IN PARAMETERS

Create the Following Tables:

create table bank(Accno number,Name varchar2(20),Bal number(10,2),Acctype number);
Create table personal_details(Accno number,address varchar2(20),phno number);
Create the following Procedure:
create or replace procedure createAccount(accnumber number,actype number,acname
varchar2,amt number,addr varchar2,phno number)is
begin
insert into bank values(accnumber,acname,amt,actype);
insert into personal_details values(accnumber,addr,phno);

begin
select bal into amt from bank where accno=acno;

Provides the API for server side data source access and processing from the Java TM programming
language. This package supplements the java.sql package and, as of the version 1.4 release, is
included in the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE TM). It remains an essential part of the
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE TM).

The javax.sql package provides for the following:

1. The DataSource interface as an alternative to the DriverManager for establishing a

connection with a data source
2. Connection pooling and Statement pooling
3. Distributed transactions
4. Rowsets

Applications use the DataSource and RowSet APIs directly, but the connection pooling and
distributed transaction APIs are used internally by the middle-tier infrastructure.

Using a DataSource Object to Make a Connection

The javax.sql package provides the preferred way to make a connection with a data source.
The DriverManager class, the original mechanism, is still valid, and code using it will continue
to run. However, the newer DataSource mechanism is preferred because it offers many
advantages over the DriverManager mechanism.

These are the main advantages of using a DataSource object to make a connection:

 Changes can be made to a data source's properties, which means that it is not necessary to
make changes in application code when something about the data source or driver
changes.
 Connection and Statement pooling and distributed transactions are available through a
DataSource object that is implemented to work with the middle-tier infrastructure.
Connections made through the DriverManager do not have connection and statement
pooling or distributed transaction capabilities.

Driver vendors provide DataSource implementations. A particular DataSource object

represents a particular physical data source, and each connection the DataSource object creates
is a connection to that physical data source.

A logical name for the data source is registered with a naming service that uses the Java Naming
and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI) API, usually by a system administrator or someone performing
the duties of a system administrator. An application can retrieve the DataSource object it wants
by doing a lookup on the logical name that has been registered for it. The application can then
use the DataSource object to create a connection to the physical data source it represents.

A DataSource object can be implemented to work with the middle tier infrastructure so that the
connections it produces will be pooled for reuse. An application that uses such a DataSource
implementation will automatically get a connection that participates in connection pooling. A
DataSource object can also be implemented to work with the middle tier infrastructure so that
the connections it produces can be used for distributed transactions without any special coding.

Connection Pooling and Statement Pooling

Connections made via a DataSource object that is implemented to work with a middle tier
connection pool manager will participate in connection pooling. This can improve performance
dramatically because creating new connections is very expensive. Connection pooling allows a
connection to be used and reused, thus cutting down substantially on the number of new
connections that need to be created.

Connection pooling is totally transparent. It is done automatically in the middle tier of a Java EE
configuration, so from an application's viewpoint, no change in code is required. An application
simply uses the DataSource.getConnection method to get the pooled connection and uses it
the same way it uses any Connection object.

The classes and interfaces used for connection pooling are:

 ConnectionPoolDataSource
 PooledConnection
 ConnectionEvent
 ConnectionEventListener
 StatementEvent
 StatementEventListener

The connection pool manager, a facility in the middle tier of a three-tier architecture, uses these
classes and interfaces behind the scenes. When a ConnectionPoolDataSource object is called
on to create a PooledConnection object, the connection pool manager will register as a
ConnectionEventListener object with the new PooledConnection object. When the
connection is closed or there is an error, the connection pool manager (being a listener) gets a
notification that includes a ConnectionEvent object.

If the connection pool manager supports Statement pooling, for PreparedStatements, which
can be determined by invoking the method DatabaseMetaData.supportsStatementPooling,
the connection pool manager will register as a StatementEventListener object with the new
PooledConnection object. When the PreparedStatement is closed or there is an error, the
connection pool manager (being a listener) gets a notification that includes a StatementEvent
object.

Distributed Transactions
As with pooled connections, connections made via a DataSource object that is implemented to
work with the middle tier infrastructure may participate in distributed transactions. This gives an
application the ability to involve data sources on multiple servers in a single transaction.

The classes and interfaces used for distributed transactions are:

 XADataSource
 XAConnection

These interfaces are used by the transaction manager; an application does not use them directly.

The XAConnection interface is derived from the PooledConnection interface, so what applies
to a pooled connection also applies to a connection that is part of a distributed transaction. A
transaction manager in the middle tier handles everything transparently. The only change in
application code is that an application cannot do anything that would interfere with the
transaction manager's handling of the transaction. Specifically, an application cannot call the
methods Connection.commit or Connection.rollback, and it cannot set the connection to be
in auto-commit mode (that is, it cannot call Connection.setAutoCommit(true)).

An application does not need to do anything special to participate in a distributed transaction. It

simply creates connections to the data sources it wants to use via the
DataSource.getConnection method, just as it normally does. The transaction manager
manages the transaction behind the scenes. The XADataSource interface creates XAConnection
objects, and each XAConnection object creates an XAResource object that the transaction
manager uses to manage the connection.

Rowsets
The RowSet interface works with various other classes and interfaces behind the scenes. These
can be grouped into three categories.

1. Event Notification
o RowSetListener
A RowSet object is a JavaBeansTM component because it has properties and
participates in the JavaBeans event notification mechanism. The RowSetListener
interface is implemented by a component that wants to be notified about events
that occur to a particular RowSet object. Such a component registers itself as a
listener with a rowset via the RowSet.addRowSetListener method.

When the RowSet object changes one of its rows, changes all of it rows, or moves
its cursor, it also notifies each listener that is registered with it. The listener reacts
by carrying out its implementation of the notification method called on it.

 o RowSetEvent
As part of its internal notification process, a RowSet object creates an instance of
RowSetEvent and passes it to the listener. The listener can use this RowSetEvent
object to find out which rowset had the event.
2. Metadata
o RowSetMetaData
This interface, derived from the ResultSetMetaData interface, provides
information about the columns in a RowSet object. An application can use
RowSetMetaData methods to find out how many columns the rowset contains and
what kind of data each column can contain.

The RowSetMetaData interface provides methods for setting the information

about columns, but an application would not normally use these methods. When
an application calls the RowSet method execute, the RowSet object will contain a
new set of rows, and its RowSetMetaData object will have been internally updated
to contain information about the new columns.

3. The Reader/Writer Facility

A RowSet object that implements the RowSetInternal interface can call on the
RowSetReader object associated with it to populate itself with data. It can also call on the
RowSetWriter object associated with it to write any changes to its rows back to the data
source from which it originally got the rows. A rowset that remains connected to its data
source does not need to use a reader and writer because it can simply operate on the data
source directly.
o RowSetInternal
By implementing the RowSetInternal interface, a RowSet object gets access to
its internal state and is able to call on its reader and writer. A rowset keeps track
of the values in its current rows and of the values that immediately preceded the
current ones, referred to as the original values. A rowset also keeps track of (1)
the parameters that have been set for its command and (2) the connection that was
passed to it, if any. A rowset uses the RowSetInternal methods behind the
scenes to get access to this information. An application does not normally invoke
these methods directly.
o RowSetReader
A disconnected RowSet object that has implemented the RowSetInternal
interface can call on its reader (the RowSetReader object associated with it) to
populate it with data. When an application calls the RowSet.execute method,
that method calls on the rowset's reader to do much of the work. Implementations
can vary widely, but generally a reader makes a connection to the data source,
reads data from the data source and populates the rowset with it, and closes the
connection. A reader may also update the RowSetMetaData object for its rowset.
The rowset's internal state is also updated, either by the reader or directly by the
method RowSet.execute.
o RowSetWriter
A disconnected RowSet object that has implemented the RowSetInternal
interface can call on its writer (the RowSetWriter object associated with it) to

 write changes back to the underlying data source. Implementations may vary
widely, but generally, a writer will do the following:
 Make a connection to the data source
 Check to see whether there is a conflict, that is, whether a value that has
been changed in the rowset has also been changed in the data source
 Write the new values to the data source if there is no conflict
 Close the connection

The RowSet interface may be implemented in any number of ways, and anyone may write an
implementation. Developers are encouraged to use their imaginations in coming up with new
ways to use rowsets.
