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 WHERE clause. Before executing the following example, please ensure that you have the following conditions ready:
To execute the following example, you can replaceUsernameAndPasswordReplace with the actual username and password.
Your MySQL or any database you are using has been 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.* That 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:It is necessary to use DriverManager.getConnection() A method to create a Connection object that represents a physical connection to the database server.
Execute query:It is necessary to use an object of the Statement type to construct and submit SQL statements to obtain records that meet the given conditions from the table. This query utilizesWHERESelect clause for records.
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-
//Step1Import 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{ //Step2Register the JDBC driver program Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); //Step3: Establish connection System.out.println("Connecting to a selected database..."); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS); System.out.println("Connected database successfully..."); //Step4: 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 id >= 101 "; 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 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... ID: 10, Age: 3, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 102, Age: 3, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal Fetching records with condition... ID: 102, Age: 3, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal Goodbye! C:\>
