Java Database Connectivity

1
Database and SQL

 SQL commands are divided into four categories


1. DDL (Data Definition Language)

 Define data (create table)

2. DML (Data Manipulation Language)

 Insert ,Delete and update

3. DCL (Data Control Language)

 Grant

4. Query (select) 2
 JDBC is an API used to connect Java application with database

 Is used to interact with various type of database i.e. Ms Access, MYSQL and SQL
Server
Java Application
 JDBC Architecture

JDBC API

JDBC DriverManager

JDBC Driver JDBC Driver


3
What is ODBC

 Before JDBC, ODBC API was used to communicate with the databases

 ODBC API uses ODBC drivers to interact with the databases.

 Written in c language

 Platform dependent

 Unsecured

 ODBC requires manual installation of ODBC driver

4
JDBC Driver

 Is a software component that enables java application to interact with the database .

 There are four types of JDBC drivers


1. JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
‾ Uses ODBC driver to connect to the database
‾ It converts JDBC method calls into the ODBC function calls
‾ Easy to use
‾ Can be easily connected to any database
‾ Performance degraded
‾ The ODBC driver needs to be installed
5
2. Native – API driver
‾ Uses client side libraries of the database
‾ Converts JDBC method calls into native calls of the database
‾ It is written in java
‾ Performance upgraded than JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
‾ The native driver needs to be installed

3. Network protocol driver


‾ Uses middleware (Application server) that converts JDBC calls into database protocol
‾ Written in java
‾ No client side library is required
‾ Network support is required
6
‾ Maintenance of network protocol driver becomes costly
4. Thin driver
‾ Thin driver converts JDBC calls into database protocol
‾ Written in java
‾ Better performance that all other drivers
‾ No software is required
‾ Drivers depends on the database

7
JDBC API

 Is a java application programming interface to develop DBMS independent java


applications using a uniform interface.

 Consists of classes and interfaces

The driver Interface

 The driver interface is database specific

 The driver must be loaded before connecting to a database, to locate, load and link the
driver class.

8
The DriverManager class

 A layer of JDBC working b/n the driver and the user

 It keep track the registered drivers connection between the database and the driver

The Connection Interface

 A connection instance represents a session with a specific database

 SQL statements are sent to the database for execution and returns the results of the
execution

9
The Statement Interface

 Is used to execute a static SQL statement

 executeQuery

 ExecuteUpdate

The ResultSet Interface

 Provides access to a table of data generated by executing a statement

 It maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data

 Cursor movement methods (absolute, first, last, next and previous)

10
The SQL Exception classes

 Provides information on a database access error.

The DatabaseMetaData Interface

 Enables to obtain information about the database

 E.g. tables, columns, PK, FK

11
1. Register the driver
 Class.forName() is used to load the driver

 E.g. Class. forName(“Com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);

2. Create a connection
 getConnection() method of DriverManger class is used to create a connection

 getConnection(String url, String user, String Pass);

 E.g. getConection(“Jdbc:mysql, localhost:3306/Student, “user”, “pass””);

3. Create SQL statement


 createStatment() method is invoked on current connection object to create a SQL statement.
12
 Statement s= con.createStatement();
4. Execute SQL statement
 executeQuery() method of statement interface is used to execute SQL statement

 E.g. ResultSet rs= s.executeQuery(“select * from user”);

5. Closing the connection


 The close() method connection interface is used to close the connection.
