Question 10:

What is the meaning of ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE

(b) This means that the Resultset is sensitive to scrolling,
but insensitive to updates, i.e. not
updateable
(c) This means that the ResultSet is sensitive to scrolling,
but insensitive to changes made
by others
(d) The meaning depends on the type of data source, and the
type and version of the driver
you use with this data source

Answer :C

Question 11:

Are ResultSets updateable?

(a) Yes, but only if you call the method openCursor() on the
ResultSet, and if the driver and
database support this option
 (b) Yes, but only if you indicate a concurrency strategy when
executing the statement, and
if the driver and database support this option
(c) Yes, but only if the ResultSet is an object of class
UpdateableResultSet, and if the driver
and database support this option
(d) No, ResultSets are never updateable. You must explicitly
execute DML statements (i.e.
insert, delete and update) to change the data in the
underlying database

Answer :B

Question 12:

correct answers)?

called on the Transaction
object
[d] A transaction is finished when close() is called on the
Connection object.

Answer :B,D

Question 13:

How can you start a database transaction in the database?

setting the autoCommit property
of the Transaction to false
(c) By calling the method beginTransaction() on the
Connection object

false, and execute a statement
in the database

Answer :D

Question 14:
 What is the meaning of the transaction isolation level
TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ

Question 15:

What statements are correct about positioned updates (i.e.

cursor updates) in ResultSets? (2 correct answers)
[a] Using the cursor technique is currently the only possible
way to change the data in the
current row of a ResultSet
[b] Insert statements are only supported when using
scrollable cursors.
[c] Only scrollable updateable ResultSets can use this
approach to change the data in the
current row of a ResultSet

object?
 (a) the method close() does not exist for a ResultSet. Only
Connections can be closed.
(b) the database and JDBC resources are released

synchronizeWithDataSource is set to true or
false
(d) You will get a compile error: the method does not exist
because you can not delete rows
from a ResultSet
Answer :B

Question 19:

What statements are correct about batched insert and updates?

(2 answers)

statement you want to
execute in the batch
