▪ Exception Handling
▪ Try-catch and throw
▪ JDBC
▪ Database connection (PostgreSQL)
▪ An exception (or exceptional event) is a problem that arises during the execution
of a program
▪ Normal flow of the program is disrupted, and the program terminates abnormally,
which is not recommended, therefore, these exceptions are to be handled
▪ Exception handling enables applications to resolve (or handle) exceptions
▪ A program can continue executing as if no problem had been encountered
▪ Robust and fault-tolerant programs
▪ Graceful termination
▪ try-catch blocks are used to handle exceptions
▪ A code which might throw an exception is written inside
try block
▪ System-generated exceptions are automatically thrown
by the Java run-time system (e.g., dividing by zero)
▪ finally block contains the code that absolutely must be
executed after a try block
▪ It is possible to use several catch blocks defining an
exact Exception form
▪ *It is considered as “bad practice” to catch Errors
▪ Use throw keyword to manually throw an exception
▪ If a method throws a checked exception (and does not catch it), then it must declare
the fact in a throws clause

▪ One method can throw different types of Exceptions

▪ Example:
In this example only one user was
added to group, since users[1]
was null and users[2] has the
same name as users[0].

Note that users are checked for


the equality by their name in
equals method of User class
▪ JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is the Java API that manages connecting to a
database, issuing queries and commands, and handling result sets obtained from the
database
▪ There is no need to install the JDBC API explicitly or include it as a third-party library in
your project, because, by default, it comes with every JDK/JRE
▪ It is present in “java.sql”package
▪ The only thing you need to get started with JDBC is a driver for your specific database
▪ The DriverManager class of the java.sql
package manages different types of JDBC
drivers
▪ This class loads the driver classes
▪ In addition to this whenever a new
connection establishes it chooses and
loads the suitable driver from the
previously loaded ones

▪ For the next example you need PostgreSQL to be installed
▪ Download jdbc driver from https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
▪ Create database ‘SimpleDB’ with only one table users(id, name, surname, gender)
▪ The next important thing will be to add the JDBC drivers to the build path of the project.
▪ To do this, right click on Project folder -> Open module settings, this should open a new window
▪ Go to libraries under Project settings and click on add to locate and add the JDBC jar files to the
project
▪ With PreparedStatement you can create SQL with parameters that are dynamically
passed from the Java program to DBMS
▪ Suppose you need to execute the query "SELECT * from EMP WHERE empno=…"
multiple times for each employee from the array empNumbers[]

Prepared statements are


resilient against SQL
injection
