Steps in Creating JDBC Application

The steps in creating a JDBC application are: 1. Import required JDBC packages. 2. Register the JDBC driver to initialize a connection. 3. Open a connection to the database using the DriverManager. 4. Execute an SQL query statement using a Statement object. 5. Extract data from the result set using the appropriate getter methods. 6. Close all database resources to clean up the environment.

Steps in Creating JDBC Application

Import the packages . Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes
needed for database programming.
import java.sql.*;
Register the JDBC driver . Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a
communications channel with the database.
Open a connection . Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a
Connection object, which represents a physical connection with the database.
Execute a query . Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an
SQL statement to the database.
Extract data from result set . Requires that you use the appropriate ResultSet.getXXX()
method to retrieve the data from the result set.
Clean up the environment . Requires explicitly closing all database resources versus relying
on the JVM's garbage collection.

//STEP 1. Import required packages


import java.sql.*;
public class FirstExample {
// 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;
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 FirstExample
