This chapter provides examples of how to select records from a table using a JDBC application. When selecting records from a table, this will add additional conditions using the LIKE clause. Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following conditions:
To execute the following example, you can replaceUsernameAndPasswordReplace with actual username and password.
Your MySQL or any database you are using has already started and is running.
To create a new database using a JDBC application, you need to perform the following steps-
Import package:It requires you to include the software package that contains the JDBC classes required for database programming. Typically, using import java.sql.* Is enough.
Register JDBC driver: It requires you to initialize the driver so that you can open a communication channel with the database.
Establish connection:Need to use DriverManager.getConnection() A method to create a Connection object representing a physical connection to the database server.
Execute query:An object of the Statement type is needed to construct and submit SQL statements to retrieve records from a table that meets the given conditions. The query usesLIKEThe clause selects records to select all students whose names start with "za".
Clean up the environment: All database resources must be explicitly closed, rather than relying on JVM garbage collection.
Copy and paste the following example into JDBCExample.java, compile and run as follows-
//steps1Import the required software packages import java.sql.*; public class JDBCExample { // JDBC driver name and database URL static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/STUDENTS"; // Database credentials static final String USER = "username"; static final String PASS = "password"; public static void main(String[] args) { Connection conn = null; Statement stmt = null; try{ //steps2Register JDBC driver Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); //steps3: Establish connection System.out.println("Connecting to a selected database..."); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); System.out.println("Connected to database successfully..."); //steps4: Execute query System.out.println("Creating statement..."); stmt = conn.createStatement(); // Extract records without condition. System.out.println("Fetching records without condition..."); String sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ //Search by column name int id = rs.getInt("id"); int age = rs.getInt("age"); String first = rs.getString("first"); String last = rs.getString("last"); //Display value System.out.print("ID: " + id); System.out.print(", Age: " + age); System.out.print(", First: " + first); System.out.println(", Last: " + last); } // Select all IDs equal to or greater than101records System.out.println("Fetching records with condition..."); sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration" + " WHERE first LIKE '%za%' "; rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ //Search by column name int id = rs.getInt("id"); int age = rs.getInt("age"); String first = rs.getString("first"); String last = rs.getString("last"); //Display value System.out.print("ID: " + id); System.out.print(", Age: " + age); System.out.print(", First: " + first); System.out.println(", Last: " + last); } rs.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ //Handle JDBC errors se.printStackTrace(); catch(Exception e){ //Handling Class.forName error e.printStackTrace(); }finally{ //Used for closing resources try{ if(stmt!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ }// Nothing to do try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); } } System.out.println("Goodbye!"); }//End of main }//End of JDBCExample
Now, let's compile the above example as follows:
C:\>javac JDBCExample.java C:\>
RuntimeJDBCExampleIt will produce the following result-
C:\>java JDBCExample Connecting to a selected database... Database connected successfully... Creating statement... Fetching records without condition...
