JDBC 1
Useful Statement Methods (N-I)

executeQuery

◦ Executes the SQL query and returns the data in a

table (ResultSet)

◦ The resulting table may be empty but never null

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(“select * from

table");

JDBC 2
Example Code 15.1
Executing SQL DML Statements
/* This progarm will take two command line argument
that are used to update records in the database */
import java.sql.*; //step 1
public class JdbcDmlEx {
public static void main (String args [ ]){
try {
//steps 2 to 5
Class.forName(“driver name”);
Connection con=null;
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, usr, pwd);

Statement st = con.createStatement();

JDBC 3
Example Code 15.1
Executing SQL DML Statements (cont.)
//Step 6: Execute the Query / DML
String addVar = args[0];
String nameVar = args[1];
String sql = “UPDATE Person ” +
“ SET address = ‘ “ + addVar + ” ’ ” +
“ WHERE name = ‘ “ + nameVar + ” ’ ” ;
int num = st.executeUpdate(sql);

//Step 7: Process the results of the query

System.out.println(num + “ records updated”);

JDBC 4
Example Code 15.1
Executing SQL DML Statements (cont.)
//Step 8: close the connection
con.close();
}catch (Exception sqlEx) {
System.out.println(sqlEx);
}
} //end main
}//end class

Useful Statement Methods
(Continued)
getMaxRows( ) / setMaxRows(int)
◦ Determines the number of rows a ResultSet
may contain
◦ Unless explicitly set, the number of rows are
unlimited (return value of 0)

getQueryTimeout( ) / setQueryTimeout(int)
◦ Specifies the amount of a time (seconds) a driver
will wait for a STATEMENT to complete before
throwing a SQLException
JDBC 7
Different Types of Statements
Overview
◦ Through the Statement object, SQL statements
are sent to the database.
◦ Three types of statement objects are available:
1. Statement
for executing a simple SQL statements
2. PreparedStatement
for executing a precompiled SQL statement passing in
parameters
3. CallableStatement
for executing a database stored procedure

JDBC 8
Prepared Statements

JDBC 9
Prepared Statements (Precompiled
Queries)
Idea
◦ If you are going to execute similar SQL
statements multiple times, using “prepared”
(parameterized) statements can be more efficient

◦ Create a statement in standard form that is sent

to the database for compilation before actually
being used

◦ Each time you use it, you simply replace some of

the marked parameters (?) using some set
methods

JDBC 10
Prepared Statement, Example
PreparedStatement pStmt =
con.prepareStatement("UPDATE tableName " +
“SET columnName = ? " +
“WHERE columnName =
?");

First marked parameter(?) has index 1.

pStmt.setString(1, stringValue);
pStmt.setInt (2, intValue);

pStmt.executeUpdate();

JDBC 11
Example Code

Using Prepared Statements

JDBC 12
Example Code: Modify JdbcDmlEx.java 15.1
Executing Prepared Statements
/* Modification to the last example code 15.1,
to show the usage of prepared statements */
import java.sql.*; // step1
public class JdbcDmlEx {
public static void main (String args [ ]){
try {
//steps 2 to 4
Class.forName(“driver name”);
Connection con=null;
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, usr, pwd);

JDBC 13
Example Code: Modify JdbcDmlEx.java 15.1
Executing Prepared Statements
//Step 5: Create the statement
PreparedStatement pStmt = null;

String sql = “UPDATE Person SET address = ? WHERE name = ? ” ;

pStmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);

//Step 6: Execute the Query

String addVar = args[0];
String nameVar = args[1];

pStmt.setString(1 , addVar);
pStmt.setString(2, nameVar);
// sql = “UPDATE Person SET address = “defence” WHERE name = “ali” ”

int num = pStmt.executeUpdate();

JDBC 14
Example Code: Modify JdbcDmlEx.java 15.1
Executing Prepared Statements

//Step 7: Process the results of the query

System.out.println(num + “ records updated”);

//Step 8: close the connection

}catch (Exception sqlEx) {

………..
}

} //end main
}//end class
