JDBC Statement Object Instance
Here are examples of using the following three queries and opening and closing instructions:
boolean execute(String SQL): Returns a boolean value true, if the ResultSet object can be retrieved, otherwise returns false. Use this method to execute SQL DDL statements, or when using real dynamic SQL.
int executeUpdate(String SQL): Returns the number of rows executed by the affected SQL statement. Use this method to execute, and hope to get some affected rows of SQL statements - for example, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements.
ResultSet executeQuery(String SQL): Returns the ResultSet object. Use this method when you want to get a result set, just like using a SELECT statement.
This sample code based on the environment and database installation in the previous chapter has been written.
Copy the following example JDBCExample.java, compile and run as shown below:
//STEP 1. Import required packagesimport 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/EMP"; // 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{ //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); //STEP 3: Open a connection System.out.println("Connecting to database..."); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS); //STEP 4: Execute a query System.out.println("Creating statement..."); stmt = conn.createStatement(); String sql = "UPDATE Employees set age=30 WHERE id=103"; // Let us check if it returns a true Result Set or not. Boolean ret = stmt.execute(sql); System.out.println("Return value is : " + ret.toString() ); // Let us update age of the record with ID = 103; int rows = stmt.executeUpdate(sql); System.out.println("Rows impacted : " + rows ); // Let us select all the records and display them. sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Employees"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); //STEP 5: Extract data from result set while(rs.next()){ //Retrieve by column name int id = rs.getInt("id"); int age = rs.getInt("age"); String first = rs.getString("first"); String last = rs.getString("last"); //Display values System.out.print("ID: " + id); System.out.print(", Age: " + age); System.out.print(", First: " + first); System.out.println(", Last: " + last); } //STEP 6: Clean-up environment rs.close(); stmt.close(); conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ //Handle errors for JDBC se.printStackTrace(); }catch(Exception e){ //Handle errors for Class.forName e.printStackTrace(); } finally{ //finally block used to close resources try{ if(stmt!=null) stmt.close(); }catch(SQLException se2){ }// nothing we can do try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); }//end finally try }//end try System.out.println("Goodbye!"); }//end main}//end JDBCExampleNow compile the above example as follows:
C:>javac JDBCExample.java
When running JDBCExample, it produces the following results:
C:>java JDBCExample
Connecting to database...Creating statement...Return value is : falseRows impacted : 1ID: 100, Age: 18, First: Zara, Last: AliID: 101, Age: 25, First: Mahnaz, Last: FatmaID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: KhanID: 103, Age: 30, First: Sumit, Last: MittalGoodbye!
JDBC CallableStatement object instance
Here is an example of a MySQL stored procedure using CallableStatement along with the following getEmpName():
Please make sure that the stored procedure has been created in the EMP database. It can be done using the MySQL query browser.
DELIMITER $$DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `EMP`.`getEmpName` $$CREATE PROCEDURE `EMP`.`getEmpName` (IN EMP_ID INT, OUT EMP_FIRST VARCHAR(255))BEGIN SELECT first INTO EMP_FIRST FROM Employees WHERE ID = EMP_ID;END $$DELIMITER ;
This script code has been written based on the installation of the environment and database in the previous chapter.

System.out.println("Executing stored procedure..." ); stmt.execute(); //Retrieve employee name with getXXX method String empName = stmt.getString(2); System.out.println("Emp Name with ID:" + empID + " is " + empName); stmt.close(); conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ //Handle errors for JDBC se.printStackTrace(); }catch(Exception e){ //Handle errors for Class.forName e.printStackTrace(); } finally{ //finally block used to close resources try{ if(stmt!=null) stmt.close(); }catch(SQLException se2){ }// nothing we can do try{ if(conn!=null) conn.close(); }catch(SQLException se){ se.printStackTrace(); }//end finally try }//end try System.out.println("Goodbye!"); }//end main}//end JDBCExampleNow compile the above example as follows:
C:>javac JDBCExample.java
When running JDBCExample, it produces the following results:
C:>java JDBCExample
