CS119 L3 JDBC

JDBC provides access to relational databases through Java programs. It uses drivers specific to each database to mediate between JDBC and the database. Key classes include Connection to establish a connection, Statement to issue SQL queries, and ResultSet to retrieve query results. Programs load the appropriate driver, get a Connection, create a Statement to execute queries, and process the ResultSet.

JDBC

Enterprise Systems
Programming
JDBC
 Java Database Connectivity
 Database Access Interface
 provides access to a relational database (by
allowing SQL statements to be sent and
executed through a Java program)
 JDBC package: set of Java classes that
facilitate this access (java.sql.*)
 Comes with JDK (since 1.1)
JDBC Driver
Need a driver, specific to the DB product, to
mediate between JDBC and the database
 the driver is a Java class that needs to be
loaded first

Java Program
- load driver Relational
- establish connection DBMS
- send SQL statements
JDBC-ODBC Bridge
 Driver that interfaces with ODBC (Object
Database Connectivity--also an access
interface)
 Easiest way to access databases created
by Microsoft products
 register database as an ODBC data source
 use JDBC-ODBC bridge as the JDBC driver
(included in JDK distribution)
Key Classes in JDBC
 Connection
 need to create an instance of this class when
establishing a connection to the database
 Statement
 for issuing SQL statements
 ResultSet (interface)
 a ResultSet object represents the table
returned by an SQL select statement
Establishing a Connection
Use the getConnection() method
 under the DriverManager class
 String argument: "jdbc:driver:name”
 returns a Connection object

Class.forName(“sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”);
// above line loads the jdbc-odbc driver
String dbname = “jdbc:odbc:MyDB”;
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(dbname);
Creating a
Statement Object
Execute the createStatement() method on
the Connection object
 returns a Statement object
 afterwards, run methods on the Statement
object to execute an SQL statement

Statement s = c.createStatement();
Methods of the
Statement Class
 executeQuery()
 requires a String argument (a select
statement)
 returns a ResultSet object
 executeUpdate()
 requires a String argument (an insert, update,
or delete statement)
 returns an int (row count, in most cases)
The ResultSet Interface
 A ResultSet object represents the table
returned by the select statement sent
 Navigation/retrieval methods
 next(): moves to the next row (first row if
called for the first time), returns false if no
rows remain
 getXXX() methods return the value of a field
for the current row
get Method Example: getInt()
ResultSet rs;
rs = s.executeQuery(“SELECT * FROM ORDER”);
rs.next(); // gets the first row (use in a loop for multiple
rows)

// suppose the ORDER table has an integer field


// called quantity
int myvar = rs.getInt(“quantity”);
// if you knew that quantity is the 2nd field in the table
myvar = rs.getInt(2); Actually, this example will produce an
SQL syntax error because ORDER is
a reserved word in SQL. To fix,
use this string instead:
“SELECT * FROM [ORDER]”
Exercise
 Create a Microsoft Access table
 insert sample rows
 Add an ODBC data source
 use the Microsoft Access driver
 associate with the created database
 Create a Java program
 use JDBC-ODBC bridge
 create a loop that lists all rows of the table
Summary
 JDBC allows you to write Java programs
that manipulate a database
 A driver (often a separate product) is
required that facilitates access
 Key classes: Connection, Statement, and
ResultSet
 Other features: metadata, parameterized
statements, and stored-proc invocation
