Introduction to JDBC
• JDBC is an API, (Application Programming Interface)
that is a collection of classes and interfaces.
• JDBC is used for accessing (mainly) databases from
Java applications.
• Information is transferred from relations to objects and
vice-versa
- databases optimized for searching/indexing
- objects optimized for engineering/flexibility

JDBC Architecture (cont.)
Application
JDBC
Driver
• Java code calls JDBC library
• JDBC loads a driver
• Driver talks to a particular database
• An application can work with several databases by using
all corresponding drivers
• Ideal: can change database engines without changing
any application code (not always in practice)
Seven Steps
• Load the driver
• Define the connection URL
• Establish the connection
• Create a Statement object
• Execute a query using the Statement
• Process the result
• Close the connection
5
Registering the Driver
• To use a specific driver, we need to instantiate it
and register it within the driver manager:
Driver driver = new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver();
DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
• Later we’ll see why the registration is needed
6
A Modular Alternative
• We can register the driver indirectly using the statement
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
• Class.forName loads the specified class dynamically.
• When OracleDriver is loaded, it automatically
- creates an instance of itself
- registers this instance with the DriverManager
• Hence, the driver class can be given as an argument of
the application
7
An Example
// A driver for imaginary1
Class.forName("ORG.img.imgSQL1.imaginary1Driver");
// A driver for imaginary2
Driver driver = new ORG.img.imgSQL2.imaginary2Driver();
DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);
//A driver for oracle
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
imaginary1 imaginary2

Registered Drivers

Connecting to the Database
• Every database is identified by a URL
• Given a URL, DriverManager looks for the driver
that can talk to the corresponding database
• DriverManager tries all registered drivers, until a
suitable one is found
• How is it done?
9
Connecting to the Database
Connection con = DriverManager.
getConnection("jdbc:imaginaryDB1");
acceptsURL("jdbc:imaginaryDB1")?

The URLs in CS
In CS, a URL has the following structure:
jdbc:oracle:thin:name/password@sol4:1521:stud
Also, your login
Your login

Oracle runs
For example:
jdbc:oracle:thin:snoopy/snoopy@sol4:1521:stud
11
Interaction with the Database
• We use Statement objects in order to
- Query the database
- Update the database (insert, update, create, drop, …)
• Three different interfaces are used:
Statement, PreparedStatement, CallableStatement
• All are interfaces, hence cannot be instantiated
• They are created by the Connection
Querying with Statement
String queryStr =
"SELECT * FROM Member " +
"WHERE Lower(Name) = 'harry potter'";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(queryStr);
• The executeQuery method returns a ResultSet object
representing the query result.
•Will be discussed later…
13
Changing DB with Statement
String deleteStr =
"DELETE FROM Member " +
"WHERE Lower(Name) = 'harry potter'";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
int delnum = stmt.executeUpdate(deleteStr);
• executeUpdate is used for data manipulation: insert, delete,
update, create table, etc. (anything other than querying!)
• executeUpdate returns the number of rows modified (or 0 for DDL
commands)
Read more about Statement Class
14
About Prepared Statements
• Prepared Statements are used for queries that are
executed many times
• They are parsed (compiled) by the DBMS only once
• Column values can be set after compilation
• Instead of values, use ‘?’ and setXXX methods
• Hence, Prepared Statements can be though of as
statements that contain placeholders to be substituted
later with actual values
15
Querying with PreparedStatement
String queryStr =
"SELECT * FROM Items " +
"WHERE Name = ? and Cost < ?";
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement(queryStr);
pstmt.setString(1, "t-shirt");
pstmt.setInt(2, 1000);
ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
16
Updating with PreparedStatement
String deleteStr =
“DELETE FROM Items " +
"WHERE Name = ? and Cost > ?";
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement(deleteStr);
pstmt.setString(1, "t-shirt");
pstmt.setInt(2, 1000);
int delnum = pstmt.executeUpdate();
Read more about PreparedStatement Class
17
Statements vs. PreparedStatements: Be
Careful!
• Are these the same? What do they do?
String val = "abc";
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement("select * from R where A=?");
pstmt.setString(1, val);
ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
String val = "abc";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement( );
ResultSet rs =
stmt.executeQuery("select * from R where A=" + val);
18
Statements vs. PreparedStatements: Be
Careful!
• Will this work?
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement("select * from ?");
pstmt.setString(1, myFavoriteTableString);
• No!!! A ‘?’ can only be used to represent a
column value in order to enable precompilation.
• Redundant ‘ ‘
19
Timeout
• Use setQueryTimeOut(int seconds) of Statement
to set a timeout for the driver to wait for a
statement to be completed
• If the operation is not completed in the given
time, an SQLException is thrown
• What is it good for?
20
ResultSet
• ResultSet objects provide access to the tables generated
as results of executing a Statement queries
• Only one ResultSet per Statement can be open at the
same time!
• The table rows are retrieved in sequence
- A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row
- The next() method moves the cursor to the next row
ResultSet Methods
• boolean next()
- activates the next row
- the first call to next() activates the first row
- returns false if there are no more rows
- Only some of the next calls, actually involve DB
activity
• void close()
- disposes of the ResultSet
- allows you to re-use the Statement that created it
- automatically called by most Statement methods
ResultSet Methods
• Type getType(int columnIndex)
- returns the given field as the given type
- indices start at 1 and not 0!
- should be used in select * or derived columns
• Type getType(String columnName)
- same, but uses name of field
- less efficient
• For example: getString(columnIndex), getInt(columnName),
getTime, getBoolean, ...
• int findColumn(String columnName)
- looks up column index given column name
ResultSet Example
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.
executeQuery("select name,age from Employees");
// Print the result
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.print(rs.getString(1) + ":");
System.out.println(rs.getShort("age"));
}

More Information
A detailed overview of type mapping and type conversion
can be found at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getsta
rt/mapping.html
26
Null Values
• In SQL, NULL means the field is empty
• Not the same as 0 or ""
• In JDBC, you must explicitly ask if the last-read
field was null
- ResultSet.wasNull(column)
• For example, getInt(column) will return 0 if the
value is either 0 or NULL!
Null Values
• When inserting null values into placeholders of
Prepared Statements:
- Use the method setNull(index, Types.sqlType) for
primitive types (e.g. INTEGER, REAL);
- For object types (e.g. STRING, DATE) you may also
use:
setType(index, null)
28
ResultSet Meta-Data
A ResultSetMetaData is an object that can be used to
get information about the properties of the columns
in a ResultSet object
An example: write the columns of the result set
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
int numcols = rsmd.getColumnCount();
for (int i = 1 ; i <= numcols; i++) {
System.out.print(rsmd.getColumnLabel(i)+" ");
}

29
Database Time
• Times in SQL are notoriously non-standard
• Java defines three classes to help
• java.sql.Date
- year, month, day
• java.sql.Time
- hours, minutes, seconds
• java.sql.Timestamp
- year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, nanoseconds
- usually use this one
Cleaning Up After Yourself
• Remember to close the Connections, Statements,
Prepared Statements and Result Sets
con.close();
stmt.close();
pstmt.close();
rs.close()
31
Dealing With Exceptions
• An SQLException is actually a list of exceptions
catch (SQLException e) {
while (e != null) {
System.out.println(e.getSQLState());
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println(e.getErrorCode());
e = e.getNextException();
}
}
32
Transaction Management
33
Transactions and JDBC
• Transaction: more than one statement that must all
succeed (or all fail) together
- e.g., updating several tables due to customer purchase
• If one fails, the system must reverse all previous actions
• Also can’t leave DB in inconsistent state halfway
through a transaction
• COMMIT = complete transaction
• ROLLBACK = cancel all actions
34
Example
• Suppose we want to transfer money from bank account
13 to account 72:
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement("update BankAccount
set amount = amount + ?
where accountId = ?");
pstmt.setInt(1,-100);
pstmt.setInt(2, 13);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
What happens if
pstmt.setInt(1, 100);
this update fails?
pstmt.setInt(2, 72);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
35
Transaction Management
• Transactions are not explicitly opened and closed
• The connection has a state called AutoCommit mode
• if AutoCommit is true, then every statement is
automatically committed
• if AutoCommit is false, then every statement is added to
an ongoing transaction
• Default: true
36
AutoCommit
setAutoCommit(boolean val)
• If you set AutoCommit to false, you must explicitly commit or
rollback the transaction using Connection.commit() and
Connection.rollback()
• Note: DDL statements (e.g., creating/deleting tables) in a
transaction may be ignored or may cause a commit to occur
- The behavior is DBMS dependent
37
Fixed Example
con.setAutoCommit(false);
try {
PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement("update BankAccount
set amount = amount + ?
where accountId = ?");
pstmt.setInt(1,-100); pstmt.setInt(2, 13);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.setInt(1, 100); pstmt.setInt(2, 72);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
con.commit();
catch (SQLException e) { con.rollback(); }
38
Isolation Levels
• How do different transactions interact? Do they see what
another has written?
• Possible problems:
- Dirty Reads: one transaction reads data written by another
uncommitted transaction
- Unrepeatable Reads: two different results are seen when
reading the same row twice in the same transaction. Example?
- Phantom Reads: rows are added to (or deleted from) a table
between two readings of this table in a single transaction.
Example?
39
Isolation Levels
JDBC defines four isolation modes:
Level
Dirty
Unrepeatable
Phantom
Read
Read
Read
Read Uncommited
Yes
Yes
Yes
Read Commited
No
Yes
Yes
Repeatable Read
No
No
Yes
Serializable
No
No
No
40
Isolation Levels
• Set the transaction mode using setTransactionIsolation()
of class Connection
• Consider efficiency and consistency.
• Oracle only implements:
- TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE
• An exception may be thrown if serializability isn’t possible
- TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITED
• This is the default
41
Level: READ_COMMITED
• Transaction 1:
• Transaction 2:
insert into A values(1)
select * from A
insert into A values(2)
select * from A
commit
Question: Is it
possible for a
transaction to see 1
in A, but not 2?
1
2
Table: A
Question: Is it
possible for the 2
queries to give
different answers
for level
SERIALIZABLE?
42
Large Objects
43
LOBs: Large OBjects
• Two types:
- CLOB: Character large object (a lot of characters)
- BLOB: Binary large object (a lot of bytes)
• Actual data is not stored in the table with the
CLOB/BLOB column, only a pointer to the data
• Oracle does not support these objects as in the
specification, so a special treatment is required
• We will see how BLOBs are managed
- Handling CLOBs is similar
44
Storing BLOBs
• Suppose that we have a binary source (e.g., a file,
a socket, etc.) that is readable through a Java
InputStream object istream
• Suppose that we want to store the source content
in a table MyBlobs(name varchar, content BLOB)
45
Storing BLOBs (cont)
• First, we set AutoCommit to false:
con.setAutoCommit(false);
• Next, we insert a row with an empty BLOB:
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("insert into myblobs values('b1',empty_blob())")
• AutoCommit is set to false so empty blob cannot be read
• Now, retrieve the BLOB:
ResultSet rs =
stmt.executeQuery("select content from myblobs where name = 'b1'");
rs.next(); BLOB bl = (BLOB) (rs.getBlob(1));
46
Storing BLOBs (cont)
• We can now get the BLOB's output stream
OutputStream blStream = bl.getBinaryOutputStream();
• Next, we write the content into the stream:
int bytesRead = 0; byte[] data = new byte[4096];
while ((bytesRead = fileStream.read(data)) >= 0)
blStream.write(data,0,bytesRead);
• Finally, we close the resources and commit
blStream.close(); rs.close(); stmt.close(); con.commit();
47
Retrieving BLOBs
• BLOB retrieval is simpler that storage
• Suppose that we want to write our BLOB to ostream
• First, we get the BLOB:
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs =
stmt.executeQuery("select content from binaryFiles where name ='b1'");
rs.next(); BLOB bl = (BLOB) (rs.getBlob(1));
• Next, get the input stream of the BLOB:
InputStream blStream = bl.getBinaryStream();
48
Retrieving BLOBs (cont)
• Now, we read the BLOB content through the stream:
int bytesRead = 0; byte[] data = new byte[4096];
while ((bytesRead = blStream.read(data)) >= 0)
ostream.write(data, 0, bytesRead);
• Finally, we close the resources and commit
blStream.close(); rs.close(); stmt.close(); con.commit();
• CLOBS are very similar (getAsciiStream, getAsciiOutputStream)
