JDBC Interview Questions and Answers

Is the JDBC-ODBC Bridge multi-threaded?


Answer :: No. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support multi threading. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge uses
synchronized methods to serialize all of the calls that it makes to ODBC. Multi-threaded Java programs may
use the Bridge, but they won't get the advantages of multi-threading. .... Read More

What is the fastest type of JDBC driver?


Answer :: JDBC Net pure Java Driver is the fastest JDBC driver. JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver and Network
protocol Driver will be slower than Native API Partly Java Driver (the database calls are make at least three
translations versus two), and JDBC Net pure Java Driver, drivers are the fastest (only one translation). ....

What are the different JDB drivers available?


Answer :: What are the different JDB drivers available?

There are mainly four type of JDBC drivers available. They are:

Type 1 : JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver - A JDBC-ODBC bridge provides JDBC API access via one or more ODBC
drivers. Note that some ODBC native code and in many cases native database client code must be loaded on
each client machine that uses this type of driver. Hence, this kind of driver is generally most appropriate when
automatic installation and downloading of a Java technology application is not important. For information on the
JDBC-ODBC bridge driver provided by Sun.

Type 2: Native API Partly Java Driver- A native-API partly Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC calls
into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver,
this style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.

Type 3: Network protocol Driver- A net-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver translates JDBC API calls
into a DBMS-independent net protocol which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a server. This net server
middleware is able to connect all of its Java technology-based clients to many different databases. The specific
protocol used depends on the vendor. In general, this is the most flexible JDBC API alternative. It is likely that
all vendors of this solution will provide products suitable for Intranet use. In order for these products to also
support Internet access they must handle the additional requirements for security, access through firewalls,
etc., that the Web imposes. Several vendors are adding JDBC technology-based drivers to their existing
database middleware products.

Type 4: JDBC Net pure Java Driver - A native-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC
technology calls into the network protocol used by DBMSs directly. This allows a direct call from the client
machine to the DBMS server and is a practical solution for Intranet access. Since many of these protocols are
proprietary the database vendors themselves will be the primary source for this style of driver. Several
database vendors have these in progress. .... Read More
What is a ResultSet ?
Answer :: A table of data representing a database result set, which is usually generated by executing a
statement that queries the database.

A ResultSet object maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before
the first row. The next method moves the cursor to the next row, and because it returns false when there are no
more rows in the ResultSet object, it can be used in a while loop to iterate through the result set. .... Read More

What are the steps required to execute a query in JDBC?


Answer :: First we need to create an instance of a JDBC driver or load JDBC drivers, then we need to register
this driver with DriverManager class. Then we can open a connection. By using this connection , we can create
a statement object and this object will help us to execute the query. .... Read More

What is JDBC Driver ?


Answer :: The JDBC Driver provides vendor-specific implementations of the abstract classes provided by the
JDBC API. This driver is used to connect to the database. .... Read More

What is JDBC?
Answer :: JDBC technology is an API (included in both J2SE and J2EE releases) that provides cross-DBMS
connectivity to a wide range of SQL databases and access to other tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets
or flat files. With a JDBC technology-enabled driver, you can connect all corporate data even in a
heterogeneous environment .... Read More

What are the steps in the JDBC connection?


Answer :: While making a JDBC connection we go through the following steps :

Step 1 : Register the database driver by using :


Class.forName(\" driver classs for that specific database\" );

Step 2 : Now create a database connection using :

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,username,password);

Step 3: Now Create a query using :


Statement stmt = Connection.Statement(\"select * from TABLE NAME\");

Step 4 : Exceute the query :

stmt.exceuteUpdate(); .... Read More
