What is JDBC?

o JDBC is a set of programming APIs that allows easy connection to a wide range of databases (especially relational databases) through Java programs.

o The following are core JDBC classes, interfaces, and exceptions in the java.sql package: 1. Driver Manager 2. Connection 3. Statement 4. Prepared Statement 5. Callable Statement 6. Result Set 7. SQL Exception A JDBC driver allows a Java application/client to communicate with a SQL database. A JDBC driver is a Java class that implements the JDBC's java.sql.Driver interface. A JDBC driver converts program (and typically SQL) requests for a particular database.

Connection Object
The Connection object has the following capabilities: 1. Creates SQL statements . 2. Executes SQL queries, inserts, updates, and deletes . 3. Handles commits and rollbacks . 4. Provides metadata regarding the database connection.

By default, a Connection object is in autocommit mode, which means it automatically commits Changes after executing each statement

TYPES

OF

DRIVER

JDBC-ODBC bridge plus ODBC driver, also called Type 1. Native-API, partly Java driver, also called Type 2. JDBC-Net, pure Java driver, also called Type 3. Native-protocol, pure Java driver, also called Type 4.

HOW TO

CREATE TABLE

PACKAGE

USING SQL

import java.sql.*; public class CreateTable{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Table Creation Example!"); Connection con = null; String url = "jdbc:odbc:"; String dbName = "Employee"; String driverName = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"; String userName = "sa"; String password = "sa"; Try { Class.forName(driverName).newInstance(); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName, userName, password); try{ Statement st = con.createStatement(); String table = "CREATE TABLE Employee11(Emp_code integer, Emp_name varchar(10))";

st.executeUpdate(table); System.out.println("Table creation process successfully!"); } catch(SQLException s){ System.out.println("Table all ready exists!"); } con.close(); } catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }

try{ Class.forName(driver); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db,"root","root"); try{ Statement st = con.createStatement(); int val = st.executeUpdate("INSERT employee VALUES("+13+","+"'Aman'"+ ")"); System.out.println("1 row affected"); } catch (SQLException s){ System.out.println("SQL statement is not executed!"); } } catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }
