A RowSet is a wrapper around a ResultSet Object. It can be connected, disconnected from the database and can be serialized. It maintains a JavaBean component by setting the properties. You can pass a RowSet object over the network. By default, RowSet object is scrollable and updatable and it is used to make a ResultSet object scrollable and updatable.
You Can get a RowSet using the
RowSetProvider.newFactory().createJdbcRowSet() method.
Example
Assume we have a table named dataset in the database as:
+--------------+-----------+ | mobile_brand | unit_sale | +--------------+-----------+ | Iphone | 3000 | | Samsung | 4000 | | Nokia | 5000 | | Vivo | 1500 | | Oppo | 900 | | MI | 6400 | | MotoG | 4360 | | Lenovo | 4100 | | RedMi | 4000 | | MotoG | 4360 | | OnePlus | 6334 | +--------------+-----------+
Following JDBC example creates a RowSet object retrieves the contents of the table named dataset using this object:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import javax.sql.RowSet;
import javax.sql.rowset.RowSetProvider;
public class RowSetExample {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
//Registering the Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
//Creating the RowSet object
RowSet rowSet = RowSetProvider.newFactory().createJdbcRowSet();
//Setting the URL
String mysqlUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TestDB";
rowSet.setUrl(mysqlUrl);
//Setting the user name
rowSet.setUsername("root");
//Setting the password
rowSet.setPassword("password");
//Setting the query/command
rowSet.setCommand("select * from Dataset");
System.out.println("Contents of the table");
while(rowSet.next()) {
System.out.print("Brand: "+rowSet.getString(1)+", ");
System.out.print("Sale: "+rowSet.getString(2));
System.out.println("");
}
}
}Output
Contents of the table Brand: Iphone, Sale: 3000 Brand: Samsung, Sale: 4000 Brand: Nokia, Sale: 5000 Brand: Vivo, Sale: 1500 Brand: Oppo, Sale: 900 Brand: MI, Sale: 6400 Brand: MotoG, Sale: 4360 Brand: Lenovo, Sale: 4100 Brand: RedMi, Sale: 4000 Brand: MotoG, Sale: 4360 Brand: OnePlus, Sale: 6334
