What is JDBC?
JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity
JDBC is a Java API to connect and execute the query with
the database.
It is a part of JavaSE (Java Standard Edition).
JDBC API uses JDBC drivers to connect with the database.
Functions of JDBC are
• Making a connection to a database.
• Creating SQL or MySQL statements.
• Executing SQL or MySQL queries in the database.
• Viewing & Modifying the resulting records.
5
Applications of JDBC
JDBC is used for design and development of
• Java Applications
• Java Applets
• Java Servlets
• Java ServerPages (JSPs)
• Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).
6
The JDBC architecture
consists of two-tier and three-tier processing models to access
a database.
1. Two-tier model:
1. A java application communicates directly to the data source.
2. The JDBC driver enables the communication between the application and
the data source.
3. When a user sends a query to the data source, the answers for those
queries are sent back to the user in the form of results.
4. The data source can be located on a different machine on a network to
which a user is connected.
5. This is known as a client/server configuration, where the user’s machine
acts as a client and the machine having the data source running acts as
the server.

2-tier Architecture
Advantages:
Easy to understand, implement and maintain
Disadvantage:
Not suitable for large amount of data
8
Three Tier architecture:
another layer between the client and the server
The client does not directly communicate with the
server.
This intermediate layer acts as a medium for exchange
of data between server and client.
This type of architecture is used in case of large web
applications.
Advantages:
• Enhanced scalability, Data Integrity, Security
Disadvantages:
complexity of implementation and communication

Implemented entirely in Java
It has database-specific network protocols to
communicate directly with database
Database vendors usually supply type4 driver.

database

JDBC Exceptions
Name Description
DataTruncation Exception If Unexpectedly truncates values
SQLException Exception Thrown by all methods of JDBC API
SQLWarning Exception When database issues any warning
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 22
DriverManager class
1. getConnection() method
- creates connection to database
-returns connection object
-3 forms are availabe
1.getConnection(String url)
2.getConnection(String url, Property arg)
3.getConnection(String url, String userid, String password)
String url=“jdbc:odbc:xyz”
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 23
Connection Interface
Provides methods to handle transaction processing
Provides some methods for error handling
Connection con =DriverManager.getConnection(url)
Above line will create connection to database.
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 24
Statement Interface
createStatement():creates statement object and returns it.
Syntax:
Statement state=con.createStatement();
This line will create Statement object & this object will
execute SQL commands.
Here con is object of Connection interface
SQL quires will be static
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 25

Statement Interface Methods
excute()-boolean method
Eg: create table
excuteQuery()-return type is integer
Usefull for delete,insert &update commands
Returns how many records are inserted,deleted or
updated
excuteUpdate()-return tpye is object of ResultSet class
Eg: select query
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 27
ResultSet Class
Methods & Description
public void beforeFirst() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to just before the first row
public void afterLast() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to just after the last row
public boolean first() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to the first row
public void last() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to the last row.
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 28
ResultSet class
public boolean absolute(int row) throws
SQLException
Moves the cursor to the specified row
public boolean relative(int row) throws
SQLException
Moves the cursor the given number of rows forward or
backwards from where it currently is pointing.
public boolean previous() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to the previous row. This method
returns false if the previous row is off the result set
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 29
public boolean next() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to the next row.
public int getRow() throws SQLException
Returns the row number that the cursor is pointing to.
public void moveToInsertRow() throws SQLException
Moves the cursor to a special row in the result set that can
be used to insert a new row into the database.
public void moveToCurrentRow() throws
SQLException
Moves the cursor back to the current row if the cursor is
currently at the insert row;

Steps for JDBC Program
1. Create datasource(MySQL)
2. Load Driver using class.forName()
3. Define URL
4. Establish a connection to database using
getConnection() & DriverManager object
5. Create Statement object & use createStatement()
6. Use Statement object & execute SQL query
7. Process Result
8. Close connection

Steps to connect database
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 34
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.
•Syntax: public static void forName(String className)
throws ClassNotFoundException
Example to register the OracleDriver class
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcodbcDriver");
Here we can load driver
To register MySQL database drivers
Class,forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 35
Create the connection object
The getConnection() method of DriverManager class
is used to establish connection with the database.
Example to establish connection with the Oracle database
Connection con=
DriverManager.getConnection("Jdbc.odbc : DSN Name");
For MSAccess
con=DriverManager.getConnection(“Jdbc.odbc.mydsn”);
mydsn is DSN given to Database
For MySQL
Connection con=
DriverManager.getConnection (jdbc:MySQL://localhost/database1?
user=root & password=“pw”);
Prepared By Dr. S. H. Kulkarni 36
Database URL format
RDBMS JDBC driver name URL format
MySQL com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc:mysql://hostname/ databaseName
37
Program to check drivers and connection
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
public class JavaDataBase1 {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException
{
String url;
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
System.out.println(“Drivers are loaded”);
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/spring";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
System.out.println("Connection created");
con.close();
System.out.println("Connection closed");
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
}
38
Create the Statement object
•The createStatement() method of Connection interface is
used to create statement.
•The object of statement is responsible to execute queries
with the database.
•Syntax:
public Statement createStatement()throws SQLException
•Example to create the statement object
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
39
Methods of statement interface
Boolean
40
PreparedStatement Interface
It is useful when user wants to execute SQL statements many times.
The PreparedStatement interface accepts input parameters at runtime.
The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement interface.
All parameters in JDBC are represented by the ‘?’ symbol, which is known as
the “parameter marker or place holder”. We must supply values for every
parameter before executing the SQL statement.
The setXXX() methods bind values to the parameters, where XXX represents
the Java data type of the value you wish to bind to the input parameter. If we
forget to supply the values, you will receive an SQLException.
41
Example of PreparedStatement
String sql="insert into table values(?,?)”;
PreparedStatement ps=con.prepareStatement(sql);
Int r2=5;
String s2=“MIT”;
ps.setInt(1,r2);
ps.setString(2,s2);
int i2=ps1.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(“data inserted”+i2);
