- 1. 1 JDBC – JJDBC – Javaava DDataatabbasease CConnectivityonnectivity Modified slides from Dr. Yehoshua Sagiv
- 2. 2 Introduction to JDBCIntroduction to JDBC • JDBC is used for accessing databases from Java applications • Information is transferred from relations to objects and vice-versa - databases optimized for searching/indexing - objects optimized for engineering/flexibility
- 3. 3 JDBC ArchitectureJDBC Architecture Java Application JDBC Oracle DB2 MySQL Oracle Driver DB2 Driver MySQL Driver Network We will use this one…
- 4. JDBC Architecture (cont.)JDBC Architecture (cont.) Application JDBC Driver • Java code calls JDBC library • JDBC loads a driver • Driver talks to a particular database • An application can work with several databases by using all corresponding drivers • Ideal: can change database engines without changing any application code (not always in practice)
- 5. 5 JDBC Driver for OracleJDBC Driver for Oracle • Download Oracle JDBC driver from : http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/jav • To install simply download and put ojdbc14.jar in the class path
- 6. 6 Seven StepsSeven Steps • Load the driver • Define the connection URL • Establish the connection • Create a Statement object • Execute a query using the Statement • Process the result • Close the connection
- 7. 7 Loading the DriverLoading the Driver • We can register the driver indirectly using the statement Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); • Class.forName loads the specified class • When OracleDriver is loaded, it automatically - creates an instance of itself - registers this instance with the DriverManager • Hence, the driver class can be given as an argument of the application
- 8. 8 An ExampleAn Example // A driver for imaginary1 Class.forName("ORG.img.imgSQL1.imaginary1Driver"); // A driver for imaginary2 Driver driver = new ORG.img.imgSQL2.imaginary2Driver(); DriverManager.registerDriver(driver); //A driver for MySQL Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); imaginary1 imaginary2 Registered Drivers MySQL
- 9. 9 Connecting to the DatabaseConnecting to the Database • Every database is identified by a URL • Given a URL, DriverManager looks for the driver that can talk to the corresponding database • DriverManager tries all registered drivers, until a suitable one is found
- 10. 10 Connecting to the DatabaseConnecting to the Database Connection con = DriverManager. getConnection("jdbc:imaginaryDB1"); imaginary1 imaginary2 Registered Drivers Oracle acceptsURL("jdbc:imaginaryDB1")? We Use: DriverManager.getConnection(<URL>, <user>, <pwd>); Where <UR>L is : jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracledb.mscs.mu.edu:1521:cosmos
- 11. Interaction with the DatabaseInteraction with the Database • We use Statement objects in order to - Query the database - Update the database • Three different interfaces are used: Statement, PreparedStatement, CallableStatement • All are interfaces, hence cannot be instantiated • They are created by the Connection
- 12. 12 Querying with StatementQuerying with Statement • The executeQuery method returns a ResultSet object representing the query result. •Will be discussed later… String queryStr = "SELECT * FROM employee " + "WHERE lname = ‘Wong'"; Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(queryStr);
- 13. 13 Changing DB with StatementChanging DB with Statement String deleteStr = "DELETE FROM employee " + "WHERE lname = ‘Wong'"; Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); int delnum = stmt.executeUpdate(deleteStr); • executeUpdate is used for data manipulation: insert, delete, update, create table, etc. (anything other than querying!) • executeUpdate returns the number of rows modified
- 14. 14 About Prepared StatementsAbout Prepared Statements • Prepared Statements are used for queries that are executed many times • They are parsed (compiled) by the DBMS only once • Column values can be set after compilation • Instead of values, use ‘?’ • Hence, Prepared Statements can be though of as statements that contain placeholders to be substituted later with actual values
- 15. 15 Querying withQuerying with PreparedStatementPreparedStatement String queryStr = "SELECT * FROM employee " + "WHERE superssn= ? and salary > ?"; PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(queryStr); pstmt.setString(1, "333445555"); pstmt.setInt(2, 26000); ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
- 16. 16 Updating withUpdating with PreparedStatementPreparedStatement String deleteStr = “DELETE FROM employee " + "WHERE superssn = ? and salary > ?"; PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(deleteStr); pstmt.setString(1, "333445555"); pstmt.setDouble(2, 26000); int delnum = pstmt.executeUpdate();
- 17. 17 Statements vs. PreparedStatements: BeStatements vs. PreparedStatements: Be Careful!Careful! • Are these the same? What do they do? String val = "abc"; PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("select * from R where A=?"); pstmt.setString(1, val); ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery(); String val = "abc"; Statement stmt = con.createStatement( ); ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from R where A=" + val);
- 18. 18 Statements vs. PreparedStatements: BeStatements vs. PreparedStatements: Be Careful!Careful! • Will this work? • No!!! A ‘?’ can only be used to represent a column value PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("select * from ?"); pstmt.setString(1, myFavoriteTableString);
- 19. 19 TimeoutTimeout • Use setQueryTimeOut(int seconds) of Statement to set a timeout for the driver to wait for a statement to be completed • If the operation is not completed in the given time, an SQLException is thrown • What is it good for?
- 20. ResultSetResultSet • ResultSet objects provide access to the tables generated as results of executing a Statement queries • Only one ResultSet per Statement can be open at the same time! • The table rows are retrieved in sequence - A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row - The next() method moves the cursor to the next row
- 21. ResultSet MethodsResultSet Methods • boolean next() - activates the next row - the first call to next() activates the first row - returns false if there are no more rows • void close() - disposes of the ResultSet - allows you to re-use the Statement that created it - automatically called by most Statement methods
- 22. ResultSet MethodsResultSet Methods • Type getType(int columnIndex) - returns the given field as the given type - indices start at 1 and not 0! • Type getType(String columnName) - same, but uses name of field - less efficient • For example: getString(columnIndex), getInt(columnName), getTime, getBoolean, getType,... • int findColumn(String columnName) - looks up column index given column name
- 23. 23 ResultSet MethodsResultSet Methods • JDBC 2.0 includes scrollable result sets. Additional methods included are : ‘first’, ‘last’, ‘previous’, and other methods.
- 24. 24 ResultSet ExampleResultSet Example Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt. executeQuery("select lname,salary from employees"); // Print the result while(rs.next()) { System.out.print(rs.getString(1) + ":"); System.out.println(rs.getDouble(“salary")); }
- 25. Mapping Java Types to SQL TypesMapping Java Types to SQL Types SQL type Java Type CHAR, VARCHAR, LONGVARCHAR String NUMERIC, DECIMAL java.math.BigDecimal BIT boolean TINYINT byte SMALLINT short INTEGER int BIGINT long REAL float FLOAT, DOUBLE double BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY byte[] DATE java.sql.Date TIME java.sql.Time TIMESTAMP java.sql.Timestamp
- 26. Null ValuesNull 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!
- 27. 27 Null ValuesNull Values • When inserting null values into placeholders of Prepared Statements: - Use the method setNull(index, Types.sqlType) for primitive types (e.g. INTEGER, REAL); - You may also use the setType(index, null) for object types (e.g. STRING, DATE).
- 28. 28 ResultSet Meta-DataResultSet Meta-Data ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData(); int numcols = rsmd.getColumnCount(); for (int i = 1 ; i <= numcols; i++) { System.out.print(rsmd.getColumnLabel(i)+" "); } A ResultSetMetaData is an object that can be used to get information about the properties of the columns in a ResultSet object An example: write the columns of the result set
- 29. Database TimeDatabase Time • Times in SQL are notoriously non-standard • Java defines three classes to help • java.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
- 30. 30 Cleaning Up After YourselfCleaning Up After Yourself • Remember to close the Connections, Statements, Prepared Statements and Result Sets con.close(); stmt.close(); pstmt.close(); rs.close()
- 31. 31 Dealing With ExceptionsDealing With Exceptions • An SQLException is actually a list of exceptions catch (SQLException e) { while (e != null) { System.out.println(e.getSQLState()); System.out.println(e.getMessage()); System.out.println(e.getErrorCode()); e = e.getNextException(); } }
- 32. 32 Transactions and JDBCTransactions and JDBC • Transaction: more than one statement that must all succeed (or all fail) together - e.g., updating several tables due to customer purchase • If one fails, the system must reverse all previous actions • Also can’t leave DB in inconsistent state halfway through a transaction • COMMIT = complete transaction • ROLLBACK = cancel all actions
- 33. 33 ExampleExample • Suppose we want to transfer money from bank account 13 to account 72: PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("update BankAccount set amount = amount + ? where accountId = ?"); pstmt.setInt(1,-100); pstmt.setInt(2, 13); pstmt.executeUpdate(); pstmt.setInt(1, 100); pstmt.setInt(2, 72); pstmt.executeUpdate(); What happens if this update fails?
- 34. 34 Transaction ManagementTransaction Management • Transactions are not explicitly opened and closed • The connection has a state called AutoCommit mode • if AutoCommit is true, then every statement is automatically committed • if AutoCommit is false, then every statement is added to an ongoing transaction • Default: true
- 35. 35 AutoCommitAutoCommit • If you set AutoCommit to false, you must explicitly commit or rollback the transaction using Connection.commit() and Connection.rollback() • Note: DDL statements (e.g., creating/deleting tables) in a transaction may be ignored or may cause a commit to occur - The behavior is DBMS dependent setAutoCommit(boolean val)
- 36. 36 Scrollable ResultSetScrollable ResultSet • Statement createStatement( int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency) • resultSetType: • ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY • -default; same as in JDBC 1.0 • -allows only forward movement of the cursor • -when rset.next() returns false, the data is no longer available and the result set is closed. • ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE • -backwards, forwards, random cursor movement. • -changes made in the database are not seen in the result set object in Java memory. • ResultSetTYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE • -backwards, forwards, random cursor movement. • -changes made in the database are seen in the • result set object in Java memory.
- 37. 37 Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d)Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d) • resultSetConcurrency: • ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY • This is the default (and same as in JDBC 1.0) and allows only data to be read from the database. • ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE • This option allows for the Java program to make changes to the database based on new methods and positioning ability of the cursor. • Example: • Statement stmt = conn.createStatement( ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); • ResultSetrset= stmt.executeQuery( “SHOW TABLES”);
- 38. 38 Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d)Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d) public boolean absolute(int row) throws SQLException • -If the given row number is positive, this method moves the cursor to the given row number (with the first row numbered 1). • -If the row number is negative, the cursor moves to a relative position from the last row. • -If the row number is 0, an SQLException will be raised. public boolean relative(int row) throws SQLException • This method call moves the cursor a relative number of rows, either positive or negative. • An attempt to move beyond the last row (or before the first row) in the result set positions the cursor after the last row (or before the first row). public boolean first() throws SQLException public boolean last() throws SQLException public boolean previous() throws SQLException public boolean next() throws SQLException
- 39. 39 Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d)Scrollable ResultSet (cont’d) public void beforeFirst() throws SQLException public void afterLast() throws SQLException public boolean isFirst() throws SQLException public boolean isLast() throws SQLException public boolean isAfterLast() throws SQLException public boolean isBeforeFirst() throws SQLException public int getRow() throws SQLException • getRow() method retrieves the current row number: The first row is number 1, the second number 2, and so on.
