JDBC Connectivity 1739265918951

The document outlines the steps to connect a Java application to an Oracle 10g database using JDBC, detailing the necessary driver class, connection URL, username, and password. It includes an example of creating a table and fetching data from it using Java code. Additionally, it explains how to load the required ojdbc14.jar file either by placing it in the JRE/lib/ext folder or by setting the classpath temporarily or permanently.

Java Database Connectivity with Oracle

To connect java application with the oracle database, we need to follow 5 following
steps. In this example, we are using Oracle 10g as the database. So we need to know
following information for the oracle database:

Driver class: The driver class for the oracle database is


oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
Connection URL: The connection URL for the oracle10G database is
jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe where jdbc is the API, oracle is the database,
thin is the driver, localhost is the server name on which oracle is running, we may
also use IP address, 1521 is the port number and XE is the Oracle service name. You
may get all these information from the tnsnames.ora file.
Username: The default username for the oracle database is system.
Password: It is the password given by the user at the time of installing the
oracle database.

Create a Table
Before establishing connection, let's first create a table in oracle database.
Following is the SQL query to create a table.

create table emp(id number(10),name varchar2(40),age number(3));

Example to Connect Java Application with Oracle database

In this example, we are connecting to an Oracle database and getting data from emp
table. Here, system and oracle are the username and password of the Oracle
database.

import java.sql.*;
class OracleCon{
public static void main(String args[]){
try{
//step1 load the driver class
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

//step2 create the connection object


Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe","system","oracle");

//step3 create the statement object


Statement stmt=con.createStatement();

//step4 execute query


ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from emp");
while(rs.next())
System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+" "+rs.getString(2)+" "+rs.getString(3));

//step5 close the connection object


con.close();

}catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e);}

}
}

download this example

The above example will fetch all the records of emp table.
To connect java application with the Oracle database ojdbc14.jar file is required
to be loaded.
download the jar file ojdbc14.jar
Two ways to load the jar file:

paste the ojdbc14.jar file in jre/lib/ext folder


set classpath

1) paste the ojdbc14.jar file in JRE/lib/ext folder:


Firstly, search the ojdbc14.jar file then go to JRE/lib/ext folder and paste the
jar file here.
2) set classpath:
There are two ways to set the classpath:

temporary
permanent

How to set the temporary classpath:


Firstly, search the ojdbc14.jar file then open command prompt and write:

C:>set classpath=c:\folder\ojdbc14.jar;.;

How to set the permanent classpath:

Go to environment variable then click on new tab. In variable name write classpath
and in variable value paste the path to ojdbc14.jar by appending ojdbc14.jar;.; as
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;.;
