Q1) What is Applet? Explain Life cycle of an applet in Detail with Diagram.

Applet:
An applet is a small Java program that runs within a web browser or applet viewer. It is typically used to create
dynamic and interactive content on web pages, such as animations, games, simulations, and data visualizations.

Life Cycle of an Applet:

The life cycle of an applet consists of several stages, each of which corresponds to a specific method that is called
automatically by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) or the web browser. Here's a detailed explanation of each stage:

1. Initialization (`init` method):

- This is the first method called when an applet is loaded into memory.
- It is used to perform initialization tasks, such as setting up variables, loading resources, and initializing the user
interface.
- Syntax: `public void init()`

2. Starting (`start` method):

- After the `init` method, the `start` method is called.
- It indicates that the applet is about to start running and becoming visible on the web page.
- It is typically used to start any threads or processes necessary for the applet's functionality.
- Syntax: `public void start()`

3. Running:
- During this phase, the applet is actively running and interacting with the user.
- It may continuously execute its code, respond to user input, and update its display as needed.

4. Stopping (`stop` method):

- This method is called when the applet is about to be paused or stopped, such as when the user navigates away from
the page containing the applet.
- It is used to stop any ongoing processes or threads that were started in the `start` method.
- Syntax: `public void stop()`

5. Destroying (`destroy` method):

- The `destroy` method is called when the applet is about to be unloaded from memory.
- It is used to perform cleanup tasks, such as releasing resources, closing connections, and stopping any remaining
processes.
- Syntax: `public void destroy()`

6. Termination:
- Once the `destroy` method is called, the applet is terminated, and its resources are released.
- At this point, the applet is no longer active and cannot be restarted without reloading the page containing the
applet.

Q2) What is an appletviewer in Java? How to create you own Applet Viewer
An appletviewer in Java is a command-line tool provided by the Java Development Kit (JDK) that allows you to run and
test Java applets without needing to use a web browser. It provides a convenient way to view and debug applets
directly from the command line.

To create your own simple applet viewer in Java using basic packages, you can follow these steps:

1. Import Required Packages:

- You'll need to import the necessary packages for working with applets and GUI components.

```java
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
```

2. Define the Applet Viewer Class:

- Create a class that serves as your applet viewer. This class should extend the `Frame` class from AWT (Abstract
Window Toolkit).

```java
public class SimpleAppletViewer extends Frame {
private Applet applet;

public SimpleAppletViewer(Applet applet) {

super("Applet Viewer");
this.applet = applet;
add(applet);
applet.init();
applet.start();
setSize(400, 400); // Set the size of the viewer window
setVisible(true); // Make the viewer window visible

// Handle window closing event

addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
applet.stop(); // Stop the applet before closing the window
dispose(); // Close the window
}
});
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

if (args.length != 1) {
System.out.println("Usage: java SimpleAppletViewer <applet-class-name>");
return;
}

try {
String appletClassName = args[0];
Applet applet = (Applet) Class.forName(appletClassName).newInstance();
new SimpleAppletViewer(applet);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
```

3. Implement the Main Method:

- In the main method, you'll handle the command-line arguments and dynamically load the specified applet class.

4. Compile and Run:

- Compile your Java code using `javac` and run it using `java`. Pass the fully qualified name of the applet class as a
command-line argument.

```bash
javac SimpleAppletViewer.java
java SimpleAppletViewer YourAppletClassName
```

Replace `YourAppletClassName` with the fully qualified name of your applet class.

In this example:
- The `SimpleAppletViewer` class extends `Frame` to create a window for displaying the applet.
- The `main` method loads the specified applet class dynamically and creates an instance of `SimpleAppletViewer` to
display the applet.
- The viewer window is closed when the user closes the window, ensuring that the applet is stopped properly

Q3) Write any 6 basic components of AWT.

AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) is a set of classes and tools provided by Java for creating graphical user interfaces
(GUIs) in Java applications. Here are six basic components of AWT:

1. Frame:
- `java.awt.Frame` is a top-level window with a title and border, typically used to create the main window of an
application.
- It can contain other components such as buttons, text fields, and labels.

2. Button:
- `java.awt.Button` is a GUI component that represents a clickable button.
- It can be used to trigger actions or events when clicked by the user.

3. Label:
- `java.awt.Label` is a GUI component used to display text or an image.
- It is typically used for providing descriptive text or captions in a GUI.

4. TextField:
- `java.awt.TextField` is a GUI component that allows the user to input a single line of text.
- It can be used for accepting user input or displaying output in a text-based format.

5. TextArea:
- `java.awt.TextArea` is a GUI component that allows the user to input or display multiple lines of text.
- It is similar to a TextField but supports multiline input and scrolling.

6. Checkbox:
- `java.awt.Checkbox` is a GUI component that represents a checkbox, which can be either checked or unchecked.
- It is typically used for presenting options or allowing the user to make binary choices.

These are just a few basic components of AWT. AWT provides many more components and classes for building GUIs,
including containers, layouts, menus, and dialogs, allowing developers to create rich and interactive user interfaces in
Java applications.
Q4) Illustrate different types of containers in AWT.

In AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit), containers are components that can contain and organize other components (such
as buttons, labels, text fields, etc.) within a GUI. There are several types of containers available in AWT, each with its
own layout behavior. Here are some of the most commonly used containers in AWT:

1. Frame:
- `java.awt.Frame` is a top-level window with a title and border.
- It is typically used as the main window of an application.
- Frames can contain other components such as buttons, labels, text fields, etc.
- Example: Main application window.

2. Panel:
- `java.awt.Panel` is a generic container that does not have a title or border.
- It is often used to group components together and manage their layout within another container.
- Panels can be nested within other panels to create complex layouts.
- Example: Grouping related components together within a frame.

3. Dialog:
- `java.awt.Dialog` is a top-level window that is typically used for displaying messages, alerts, or prompts to the user.
- It can contain other components such as labels, buttons, text fields, etc.
- Dialogs are modal by default, meaning they block input to other windows until they are closed.
- Example: Message dialog prompting the user to confirm an action.

4. Window:
- `java.awt.Window` is a top-level window that does not have a title or border by default.
- It can be used to create custom pop-up windows or dialog-like interfaces.
- Windows can contain other components and can be customized using methods like `setLocation()` and `setSize()`.
- Example: Custom pop-up window displaying additional information.

5. ScrollPane:
- `java.awt.ScrollPane` is a container that provides horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars for viewing the contents of
another component that may not fit within the available space.
- It is typically used to display large amounts of data or images that require scrolling.
- Scroll panes can contain any other AWT component, such as panels, text areas, or images.
- Example: Displaying a large text area or image with scroll bars.

6. Applet:
- `java.applet.Applet` is a special type of container used for creating applets, which are small Java programs that run
within a web browser or applet viewer.
- Applets can contain other AWT components such as buttons, labels, and text fields.
- Example: Interactive content embedded within a web page.

These are some of the common types of containers available in AWT. Each container provides different layout and
organizational capabilities, allowing developers to create versatile and visually appealing graphical user interfaces in
Java applications.
Q5) Write a program in JAVA AWT in which have shown an awt component
button by setting its placement and window frame size.

Below is a simple Java AWT program that creates a window frame and adds a button to it. The placement of the button
and the size of the window frame are set accordingly:

```java
import java.awt.*;

public class AWTButtonExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a frame
Frame frame = new Frame("AWT Button Example");

// Create a button
Button button = new Button("Click Me");

// Set the layout manager for the frame

frame.setLayout(null); // Using null layout for manual placement of components

// Set the bounds (placement and size) of the button

button.setBounds(100, 100, 80, 30); // x, y, width, height

// Add the button to the frame

frame.add(button);

// Set the size of the frame

frame.setSize(300, 200); // width, height

// Make the frame visible

frame.setVisible(true);

// Handle window closing event

frame.addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent windowEvent) {
System.exit(0); // Exit the application when the window is closed
}
});
}
}
```

In this program:

- We create a new `Frame` object named `frame` with the title "AWT Button Example".
- We create a new `Button` object named `button` with the label "Click Me".
- We set the layout manager of the frame to `null`, which allows us to manually set the position and size of
components.
- We set the bounds of the button using the `setBounds()` method to specify its placement and size.
- We add the button to the frame using the `add()` method.
- We set the size of the frame using the `setSize()` method.
- We make the frame visible using the `setVisible()` method.
- We handle the window closing event by adding a `WindowListener` and overriding the `windowClosing()` method to
exit the application when the window is closed.

Compile and run this program to see a window frame with a button displayed at the specified position.

Q7) Expalin JDBC in detail with its definition, use, types, advantages,
applications, History.

Definition of JDBC (Java Database Connectivity):

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is an API (Application Programming Interface) provided by Java that enables Java
applications to interact with databases. It provides a standard interface for accessing relational databases, allowing
developers to execute SQL queries, retrieve results, and update data programmatically.
Use of JDBC:

JDBC is used to:

1. Establish a connection to a database.
2. Send SQL statements to the database.
3. Process the results obtained from the database.
4. Perform transactions, such as committing or rolling back changes.
5. Handle database metadata, such as obtaining information about database schemas, tables, and columns.

Types of JDBC Drivers:

There are four types of JDBC drivers:

1. Type 1 (JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver): This driver converts JDBC calls into ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) calls. It
relies on native code libraries provided by the underlying operating system. However, it requires the presence of an
ODBC driver, making it platform-dependent and less efficient.
2. Type 2 (Native API Driver): This driver uses a database-specific native client library to communicate directly with the
database. It offers better performance than the Type 1 driver but is still platform-dependent.
3. Type 3 (Network Protocol Driver): Also known as the Middleware driver, this driver translates JDBC calls into a
database-independent middleware protocol, which is then converted into database-specific calls. It provides database
connectivity over the network and is platform-independent.
4. Type 4 (Thin Driver or Direct-to-Database Pure Java Driver): This driver communicates directly with the database
server using a database-specific protocol. It is written entirely in Java and does not require any native code or
middleware. It offers the best performance and platform independence among all driver types.

Advantages of JDBC:

- Platform Independence: JDBC is written in Java, making it platform-independent and allowing Java applications to
interact with any supported database system.
- Ease of Use: JDBC provides a simple and consistent API for database operations, making it easy for developers to
work with databases in Java applications.
- Performance: Depending on the driver type, JDBC can offer efficient database access and query execution.
- Security: JDBC supports various authentication and encryption mechanisms to ensure secure communication
between the Java application and the database server.
- Standardization: JDBC provides a standardized interface for interacting with databases, allowing developers to write
portable database code that works across different database systems.

Applications of JDBC:

JDBC is commonly used in various types of Java applications, including:

- Web applications: for accessing and updating database content dynamically.
- Enterprise applications: for managing data within large-scale systems.
- Desktop applications: for integrating database functionality into standalone software.
- Mobile applications: for storing and retrieving data on mobile devices.

History of JDBC:

- JDBC was introduced as part of the Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1 release in 1997.
- It was designed to provide a standard way for Java applications to access relational databases.
- Over the years, JDBC has undergone several updates and enhancements, with new features added to support
evolving database technologies and programming paradigms.
- JDBC remains a fundamental technology in the Java ecosystem and continues to be widely used for database access
in Java applications.
Q8) Write in detail steps that are used in JDBC, to connect any JAVA
application with any relational database.

To connect a Java application with a relational database using JDBC, you typically follow these steps:

1. Load the JDBC Driver:

- The first step is to load the JDBC driver class into memory. The JDBC driver is responsible for establishing a
connection between the Java application and the database.
- Use `Class.forName()` method to dynamically load the JDBC driver class. For example:
```java
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");
```

2. Establish Connection:
- Once the JDBC driver is loaded, you need to establish a connection to the database server. You need to provide the
URL of the database, username, and password.
- Use `DriverManager.getConnection()` method to establish a connection. For example:
```java
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase";
String username = "username";
String password = "password";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
```

3. Create Statement or PreparedStatement:

- After establishing the connection, you can create a Statement or PreparedStatement object to execute SQL queries
against the database.
- Use `createStatement()` or `prepareStatement()` method of the Connection object to create a Statement or
PreparedStatement. For example:
```java
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
```

4. Execute SQL Queries:

- Use the created Statement or PreparedStatement object to execute SQL queries such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE, etc.
- Use `executeQuery()` method to execute SELECT queries and `executeUpdate()` method to execute INSERT, UPDATE,
DELETE queries. For example:
```java
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table_name");
```

5. Process Results:
- If the query returns a ResultSet (in the case of SELECT queries), you can iterate over the ResultSet to retrieve the
data.
- Use `next()` method of the ResultSet to move to the next row and `getXXX()` methods to retrieve column values. For
example:
```java
while (resultSet.next()) {
int id = resultSet.getInt("id");
String name = resultSet.getString("name");
// Process the retrieved data
}
```
6. Close Resources:
- After executing the queries and processing the results, it’s important to close the resources (Statement,
PreparedStatement, Connection, ResultSet) to release database and JDBC resources.
- Use `close()` method to close the resources. For example:
```java
resultSet.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
```

7. Handle Exceptions:
- Always wrap JDBC code in try-catch blocks to handle any potential SQLExceptions that may occur during database
interactions.
- Catch SQLException and handle or log the exception appropriately. For example:
```java
try {
// JDBC code goes here
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
```

By following these steps, you can establish a connection between a Java application and a relational database using
JDBC and perform various database operations such as querying, updating, and deleting data.

Q9) Explain components of JDBC along with implementation.

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) consists of several key components that work together to enable Java applications
to interact with relational databases. These components include:

1. JDBC API (Application Programming Interface):

- The JDBC API provides a standard set of classes and interfaces for Java applications to interact with databases.
- It includes interfaces for establishing connections, creating statements, executing queries, processing results, and
handling database metadata.
- The JDBC API is included in the `java.sql` package.

2. JDBC Driver Manager:

- The JDBC Driver Manager is responsible for loading and managing JDBC drivers.
- It provides methods for registering JDBC drivers, establishing database connections, and returning connection
objects.
- The `DriverManager` class is part of the `java.sql` package.

3. JDBC Drivers:
- JDBC drivers are software components that facilitate communication between Java applications and databases.
- Different types of JDBC drivers are available, including Type 1 (JDBC-ODBC Bridge), Type 2 (Native API), Type 3
(Network Protocol), and Type 4 (Thin or Direct-to-Database Pure Java).
- Each JDBC driver type has its own characteristics in terms of performance, platform dependency, and deployment
requirements.

4. Connection Interface:
- The Connection interface represents a connection to a specific database.
- It provides methods for establishing and managing database connections, committing or rolling back transactions,
and controlling various aspects of the connection.
- The Connection interface is part of the `java.sql` package.

5. Statement Interface:
- The Statement interface represents an SQL statement that can be executed against the database.
 - It provides methods for executing queries (SELECT statements) and updates (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements)
and retrieving results.
- The Statement interface is part of the `java.sql` package.

6. PreparedStatement Interface:
- The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface and provides support for precompiled SQL
statements.
- It allows you to create parameterized queries with placeholders for dynamic values, improving performance and
security by preventing SQL injection attacks.
- The PreparedStatement interface is part of the `java.sql` package.

7. CallableStatement Interface:
- The CallableStatement interface extends the PreparedStatement interface and is used to execute stored procedures
or functions in the database.
- It provides methods for setting input parameters, retrieving output parameters, and executing the stored
procedure.
- The CallableStatement interface is part of the `java.sql` package.

8. ResultSet Interface:
- The ResultSet interface represents the result set of a query executed against the database.
- It provides methods for iterating over the rows of the result set, accessing column values, and navigating through
the data.
- The ResultSet interface is part of the `java.sql` package.

Implementation Example:
```java
import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");

// Establish connection
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase",
"username", "password");

// Create a Statement
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();

// Execute a query
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM users");

// Process the results

while (resultSet.next()) {
int id = resultSet.getInt("id");
String name = resultSet.getString("name");
System.out.println("ID: " + id + ", Name: " + name);
}

// Close resources
resultSet.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 }
}
}
```
In this example, we demonstrate the usage of several JDBC components, including loading the JDBC driver, establishing
a connection, creating a statement, executing a query, processing the results, and closing the resources.

Q10) What is connection pooling? Where it is used? & how it is created?

Connection Pooling:
Connection pooling is a technique used in software engineering to manage a pool of database connections. Instead of
opening and closing a new database connection for each database operation, connection pooling allows applications
to reuse existing connections from a pool.

Where it is used:
Connection pooling is commonly used in multi-tiered architectures, such as web applications, where multiple clients
need to access a database. It is especially beneficial in high-volume applications where the overhead of creating and
closing connections frequently can impact performance. Connection pooling helps in optimizing database
performance by efficiently managing and reusing database connections.

How it is created:
Connection pooling is typically created using connection pooling libraries or frameworks provided by the application
server or database driver. Here's a general outline of how connection pooling is created:

1. Configure Connection Pool:

- Define the parameters for the connection pool, such as the maximum number of connections, minimum number of
connections, timeout settings, etc.

2. Initialize Connection Pool:

- Create an initial pool of database connections based on the configuration parameters specified.

3. Connection Request:
- When a client application requests a connection to the database, the connection pool manager checks if there are
available connections in the pool.

4. Reuse Connection:
- If an available connection is found in the pool, it is retrieved and assigned to the requesting client.

5. If No Available Connections:
- If there are no available connections in the pool and the maximum number of connections limit has not been
reached, a new connection may be created and added to the pool.

6. Wait or Timeout:
- If all connections are currently in use and the maximum connection limit has been reached, the requesting client
may either wait for a connection to become available or receive a timeout error, depending on the configuration.

7. Return Connection to Pool:

- Once the client has finished using the connection, it is returned to the connection pool for reuse.

8. Monitor and Maintain Pool:

- The connection pool manager monitors the status of connections in the pool, closing idle or expired connections
and creating new connections as needed to maintain the minimum pool size.

By using connection pooling, applications can achieve better performance and scalability by reducing the overhead of
creating and closing database connections, thus improving overall system efficiency.
Q11) Define JDBC driver. Explain the concept of JDBC classes in details.

Definition of JDBC Driver:

A JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) driver is a software component that enables Java applications to interact with a
database management system (DBMS). It acts as a bridge between the Java application and the database, facilitating
communication and data exchange. JDBC drivers implement the JDBC API (Application Programming Interface),
providing a standardized way for Java applications to perform database operations such as executing SQL queries,
retrieving results, and updating data.

Concept of JDBC Classes:

The JDBC API consists of several classes and interfaces that define the functionality for connecting to databases,
executing SQL statements, processing results, and managing database resources. Here's a detailed explanation of
some of the key JDBC classes and interfaces:

1. DriverManager:
- The DriverManager class is responsible for managing JDBC drivers. It provides methods for loading JDBC drivers,
establishing database connections, and returning Connection objects.
- It serves as the entry point for obtaining database connections in JDBC applications.

2. Connection:
- The Connection interface represents a connection to a specific database. It provides methods for establishing and
managing database connections, committing or rolling back transactions, and controlling various aspects of the
connection.
- Connection objects are obtained from the DriverManager and are used to execute SQL statements and manage
transactions.

3. Statement:
- The Statement interface represents an SQL statement that can be executed against the database. It provides
methods for executing queries (SELECT statements) and updates (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements) and retrieving
results.
- Statement objects are created from Connection objects and are used to execute SQL queries and updates against
the database.

4. PreparedStatement:
- The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface and provides support for precompiled SQL
statements. It allows you to create parameterized queries with placeholders for dynamic values, improving
performance and security by preventing SQL injection attacks.
- PreparedStatement objects are created from Connection objects and are used to execute parameterized SQL
queries.

5. CallableStatement:
- The CallableStatement interface extends the PreparedStatement interface and is used to execute stored procedures
or functions in the database. It provides methods for setting input parameters, retrieving output parameters, and
executing the stored procedure.
- CallableStatement objects are created from Connection objects and are used to execute stored procedures or
functions.

6. ResultSet:
- The ResultSet interface represents the result set of a query executed against the database. It provides methods for
iterating over the rows of the result set, accessing column values, and navigating through the data.
- ResultSet objects are obtained by executing queries using Statement or PreparedStatement objects, and they
contain the results retrieved from the database.

These are some of the key JDBC classes and interfaces that form the foundation of JDBC programming. By using these
classes and interfaces, Java applications can establish connections to databases, execute SQL queries, process results,
and manage database resources efficiently.
Q12) Write a program to create connection in JDBC.
Below is a simple Java program that demonstrates how to create a connection to a MySQL database using JDBC:

```java
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class JDBCConnectionExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// JDBC URL for MySQL database (replace 'mydatabase' with your database name)
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase";

// Database credentials (replace 'username' and 'password' with your database credentials)
String username = "username";
String password = "password";

// Create connection object

Connection connection = null;

try {
// Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");

// Establish connection
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);

if (connection != null) {
System.out.println("Connected to the database!");
} else {
System.out.println("Failed to connect to the database!");
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("JDBC driver not found!");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Error connecting to the database!");
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Close the connection
try {
if (connection != null) {
connection.close();
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Error closing connection!");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
```

This program performs the following steps:

1. Defines the JDBC URL for connecting to the MySQL database (`jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase`).
2. Specifies the database credentials (username and password).
3. Attempts to load the MySQL JDBC driver using `Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver")`.
4. Establishes a connection to the database using `DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password)`.
5. Prints a success message if the connection is established successfully.
6. Catches and handles any ClassNotFoundException or SQLException that may occur during the process.
7. Closes the connection in the finally block to release database resources.

Make sure to replace the JDBC URL, username, and password with your actual database connection details before
running the program. Additionally, ensure that the MySQL JDBC driver (usually a JAR file) is available in your classpath.

Q13) Write a program to retrieve Contents of a Table Using JDBC connection.

Below is a Java program that retrieves the contents of a table from a MySQL database using JDBC connection:

```java
import java.sql.*;

public class RetrieveTableContents {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// JDBC URL for MySQL database (replace 'mydatabase' with your database name)
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase";

// Database credentials (replace 'username' and 'password' with your database credentials)
String username = "username";
String password = "password";

// Create connection object

Connection connection = null;

try {
// Load the JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");

// Establish connection
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);

// Execute SQL query to retrieve contents of the table

String query = "SELECT * FROM tablename"; // Replace 'tablename' with your table name
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);

// Process the results

while (resultSet.next()) {
// Retrieve values from each column of the result set
int id = resultSet.getInt("id"); // Assuming 'id' is a column name in your table
String name = resultSet.getString("name"); // Assuming 'name' is a column name in your table
// Print retrieved values
System.out.println("ID: " + id + ", Name: " + name);
// Add additional lines to retrieve and print values of other columns if needed
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("JDBC driver not found!");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Error executing SQL query!");
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Close resources
 try {
if (connection != null) {
connection.close();
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Error closing connection!");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
```

This program performs the following steps:

1. Defines the JDBC URL for connecting to the MySQL database (`jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase`).
2. Specifies the database credentials (username and password).
3. Attempts to load the MySQL JDBC driver using `Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver")`.
4. Establishes a connection to the database using `DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password)`.
5. Executes an SQL query to retrieve the contents of the table specified by `SELECT * FROM tablename`.
6. Processes the results of the query using a `ResultSet`, extracting values from each column of the result set and
printing them.
7. Catches and handles any `ClassNotFoundException` or `SQLException` that may occur during the process.
8. Closes the connection in the `finally` block to release database resources.

Make sure to replace the JDBC URL, username, password, and table name with your actual database connection
details and table name before running the program. Additionally, ensure that the MySQL JDBC driver (usually a JAR file)
is available in your classpath.
Q14) What is the use of Adapter classes in Java? Explain with example.

Adapter classes in Java are used to provide default implementations for interfaces so that subclasses can choose to
override only the methods they need. These classes simplify the process of implementing interfaces by providing
empty or default implementations for all the methods declared in the interface.

Adapter classes are particularly useful when you need to implement an interface that contains a large number of
methods, but your class only needs to provide functionality for a subset of those methods. Instead of implementing all
the methods from scratch, you can extend an adapter class and override only the methods you need, leaving the rest
with their default implementations.

Here's an example to illustrate the use of adapter classes in Java:

Suppose we have an interface `MouseListener` with multiple methods representing different mouse events:

```java
import java.awt.event.*;

public interface MouseListener {

void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e);
void mousePressed(MouseEvent e);
void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e);
void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e);
void mouseExited(MouseEvent e);
}
```

Now, let's say we want to create a class `MyMouseListener` that implements the `MouseListener` interface, but we're
only interested in handling the `mouseClicked` event. Instead of implementing all the methods from scratch, we can
use an adapter class `MouseAdapter` provided by Java:

```java
import java.awt.event.*;

// MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter to provide implementation only for mouseClicked

public class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
// Implementation for handling mouseClicked event
System.out.println("Mouse clicked at: " + e.getX() + ", " + e.getY());
}
}
```

In this example:

- We extend the `MouseAdapter` class, which provides empty default implementations for all the methods in the
`MouseListener` interface.
- We override the `mouseClicked` method to provide our custom implementation for handling the mouseClicked
event.
- We can choose to override other methods if needed, but in this case, we only override `mouseClicked`.
- By extending `MouseAdapter`, we avoid the need to implement all the methods of the `MouseListener` interface,
which reduces the amount of code we need to write and maintain.

Using adapter classes like `MouseAdapter` allows us to focus on implementing only the methods we're interested in,
making our code more concise and readable.
Q15) Explain with diagram of all drivers in JDBC.

Below is a description of the four types of JDBC drivers along with a diagram illustrating their architecture:

1. Type 1: JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver:

- This driver translates JDBC calls into ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) calls, relying on an ODBC driver provided
by the underlying operating system.
- It requires the presence of an ODBC driver and is therefore platform-dependent.
- It is typically used to connect Java applications to databases that do not have a JDBC driver available, but have an
ODBC driver.
- 

2. Type 2: Native API Driver:

- This driver uses a database-specific native client library (such as DB2, Oracle, or Sybase) to communicate directly
with the database.
- It provides better performance than the Type 1 driver as it bypasses the ODBC layer.
- It is still platform-dependent as it relies on native libraries.
- 

3. Type 3: Network Protocol Driver (Middleware Driver):

- Also known as the Middleware driver, this driver translates JDBC calls into a database-independent middleware
protocol, which is then converted into database-specific calls.
- It provides database connectivity over the network and is therefore platform-independent.
- It requires the installation of middleware software (such as JDBC-ODBC Bridge or CORBA) on both the client and
server sides.
- 

4. Type 4: Thin Driver or Direct-to-Database Pure Java Driver:

- This driver communicates directly with the database server using a database-specific protocol (such as Oracle's
SQL*Net or IBM's Net).
- It is written entirely in Java and does not require any native code or middleware.
- It offers the best performance and platform independence among all driver types.
- 

In the diagrams:
- The JDBC API is shown at the top, representing the standard Java API used by Java applications.
- Each driver is depicted with its specific architecture for connecting to the database.
- The database server is shown at the bottom, representing the database management system (DBMS) to which the
driver connects.
- Each driver interacts with the database using its own communication protocol or intermediate layer.
Q16) Explain the interfaces used in JDBC with example.

In JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), several interfaces are crucial for interacting with databases. These interfaces
provide a standardized way for Java applications to perform database operations. Here are some of the key interfaces
used in JDBC along with examples illustrating their usage:

1. Connection:
- The Connection interface represents a connection to a specific database. It provides methods for establishing and
managing database connections, committing or rolling back transactions, and controlling various aspects of the
connection.
- Example:
```java
import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCConnectionExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase";
String username = "username";
String password = "password";

try {
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
System.out.println("Connected to the database!");
// Perform database operations...
connection.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Error connecting to the database!");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
```

2. Statement:
- The Statement interface represents an SQL statement that can be executed against the database. It provides
methods for executing queries (SELECT statements) and updates (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements) and retrieving
results.
- Example:
```java
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table_name");
while (resultSet.next()) {
int id = resultSet.getInt("id");
String name = resultSet.getString("name");
// Process retrieved data...
}
```

3. PreparedStatement:
- The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface and provides support for precompiled SQL
statements. It allows you to create parameterized queries with placeholders for dynamic values, improving
performance and security by preventing SQL injection attacks.
- Example:
```java
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table_name (id, name)
VALUES (?, ?)");
preparedStatement.setInt(1, 1);
 preparedStatement.setString(2, "John");
int rowsAffected = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
```

4. CallableStatement:
- The CallableStatement interface extends the PreparedStatement interface and is used to execute stored procedures
or functions in the database. It provides methods for setting input parameters, retrieving output parameters, and
executing the stored procedure.
- Example:
```java
CallableStatement callableStatement = connection.prepareCall("{call procedure_name(?, ?)}");
callableStatement.setInt(1, 1);
callableStatement.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);
callableStatement.execute();
String result = callableStatement.getString(2);
```

5. ResultSet:
- The ResultSet interface represents the result set of a query executed against the database. It provides methods for
iterating over the rows of the result set, accessing column values, and navigating through the data.
- Example:
```java
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table_name");
while (resultSet.next()) {
int id = resultSet.getInt("id");
String name = resultSet.getString("name");
// Process retrieved data...
}
```

These interfaces are fundamental to JDBC programming and allow Java applications to interact with databases in a
standardized and efficient manner.
Q17) Explain with example types of statements in JDBC

In JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), there are three main types of statements used to interact with databases:
Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement. Each type of statement has its own advantages and use cases.
Below, I'll explain each type along with examples:

1. Statement:
- The Statement interface is used to execute static SQL statements that do not contain parameters. It is suitable for
executing simple SQL queries or updates where the values are known at the time of writing the code.
- Example:
```java
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM employees");
while (resultSet.next()) {
int id = resultSet.getInt("id");
String name = resultSet.getString("name");
// Process retrieved data...
}
```
- Limitation: Statements are prone to SQL injection attacks when incorporating user input directly into SQL queries.

2. PreparedStatement:
- The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface and provides support for precompiled SQL
statements with parameters. It allows you to create parameterized queries where values can be set dynamically,
providing better performance and security.
- Example:
```java
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO employees (id, name)
VALUES (?, ?)");
preparedStatement.setInt(1, 101);
preparedStatement.setString(2, "John Doe");
int rowsAffected = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
```
- Benefits:
- Performance: PreparedStatement objects are precompiled, leading to better performance, especially when
executing the same SQL statement multiple times with different parameter values.
- Security: Parameterized queries help prevent SQL injection attacks by separating SQL code from user input.

3. CallableStatement:
- The CallableStatement interface extends the PreparedStatement interface and is used to execute stored procedures
or functions in the database. It allows you to call database stored procedures and retrieve results.
- Example:
```java
CallableStatement callableStatement = connection.prepareCall("{call getEmployeeDetails(?, ?)}");
callableStatement.setInt(1, 101);
callableStatement.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);
callableStatement.execute();
String employeeName = callableStatement.getString(2);
```
- Benefits:
- Stored Procedure Support: CallableStatement objects are specifically designed for calling stored procedures or
functions in the database.
- Output Parameters: CallableStatement allows you to register output parameters to retrieve values returned by the
stored procedure.
In summary, Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement are the three main types of statements used in
JDBC to execute SQL queries and updates. Each type has its own advantages and use cases, so it's essential to choose
the appropriate type based on the requirements of your application.
