JDBC - JAVA DATABASE CONNECTIVITY

*************************************************************************

➢ JDBC : Java Database Connectivity

➢ JDBC is a Technology which is used to connect java application
with database.
➢ JDBC is an API which provides some classes and interfaces by
which we can work with databases.
➢ JDBC API has Packages to work with databases.

Q-> What are the general/common steps to communicate with database?
1) Check the MySQL version

2) Download MySQL connector jar file from below link.

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java

3) Create Java Application and load MySQL jar file.

- Right click on Java Project Folder .
- Click on Build Path.
- Click on Configure Build Path.
- Click on Libraries then click on Classpath and then Add

Java Database Connectivity with 5 Steps

****************************************************************

1) Load and Register Driver class

2) Create connection
3) Create statement
4) Execute queries
5) Close connection

1) Register the driver class

-> The forName() method of Class class is used to register the driver class.
This method is used to dynamically load the driver class.

2) Create the connection object

-> It helps to establish a connection between java application and database.

-> The getConnection() method of DriverManager class is used to establish

connection with the database.

-> Commonly used method.

1) public Statement createStatement();

->creates a statement object that can be used to execute SQL queries.

3) Create the Statement object
-> The Statement interface provides methods to execute queries with the
database.

-> The createStatement() method of Connection interface is used to create statement.

The object of statement is responsible to execute queries with the database.

-> Commonly used method.

1) public ResultSet executeQuery(String sql);

->is used to execute SELECT query. It returns the object of ResultSet.

2) public int executeUpdate(String sql);

->is used to execute specified query, it may be create, drop, insert, update, delete etc.

4) Execute the query

-> The object of ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to a row of a table.

-> Initially, cursor points to before the first row.
-> The executeQuery() method of Statement interface is used to execute queries
to the database.This method returns the object of ResultSet that can be used to get all the
records of a table.

-> Commonly used method.

1) public boolean next();

-> is used to move the cursor to the one row next from the current
position.

2) public int getInt(int columnIndex);
-> is used to return the data of specified column index of the current row
as int.

3) public int getInt(String columnName);

-> is used to return the data of specified column name of the current row
as int.

4) public String getString(int columnIndex);

-> is used to return the data of specified column index of the current row
as String.

5) public String getString(String columnName) ;

-> is used to return the data of specified column name of the current row
as String

5) Close the connection object

->. The close() method of Connection interface is used to close the connection.
