JDBC Navigating a Result Set Example

« Previous Chapter Next Chapter »

Following is the example which makes use of few navigation methods described in Result Set tutorial.

This sample code was written based on the environment and database setup done in previous chapters.

Copy and paste below code in example.java, compile and run:

Example

//STEP 1. Import required packages
import java.sql.*;
public class example {
   // JDBC driver name and database URL
   static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";  
   static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/EMP";
   //  Database credentials
   static final String USER = "username";
   static final String PASS = "password";
   
public static void main(String[] args) {
   Connection conn = null;
   Statement stmt = null;
   try{
      //STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
      //STEP 3: Open a connection
      System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS);
      //STEP 4: Execute a query to create statment with
      // required arguments for RS example.
      System.out.println("Creating statement...");
      stmt = conn.createStatement(
                           ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
                           ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
      String sql;
      sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Friends";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
      // Move cursor to the last row.
      System.out.println("Moving cursor to the last...");
      rs.last();
        //STEP 5: Extract data from result set
      System.out.println("Displaying record...");
      //Retrieve by column name
      int id  = rs.getInt("id");
      int age = rs.getInt("age");
      String first = rs.getString("first");
      String last = rs.getString("last");
  
      //Display values
      System.out.print("ID: " + id);
      System.out.print(", Age: " + age);
      System.out.print(", First: " + first);
      System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
      // Move cursor to the first row.
      System.out.println("Moving cursor to the first row...");
      rs.first();
        //STEP 6: Extract data from result set
      System.out.println("Displaying record...");
      //Retrieve by column name
      id  = rs.getInt("id");
      age = rs.getInt("age");
      first = rs.getString("first");
      last = rs.getString("last");
  
      //Display values
      System.out.print("ID: " + id);
      System.out.print(", Age: " + age);
      System.out.print(", First: " + first);
      System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
     // Move cursor to the first row.
      System.out.println("Moving cursor to the next row...");
      rs.next();
        //STEP 7: Extract data from result set
      System.out.println("Displaying record...");
      id  = rs.getInt("id");
      age = rs.getInt("age");
      first = rs.getString("first");
      last = rs.getString("last");
  
      //Display values
      System.out.print("ID: " + id);
      System.out.print(", Age: " + age);
      System.out.print(", First: " + first);
      System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
      //STEP 8: Clean-up environment
      rs.close();
      stmt.close();
      conn.close();
   }catch(SQLException se){
      //Handle errors for JDBC
      se.printStackTrace();
   }catch(Exception e){
      //Handle errors for Class.forName
      e.printStackTrace();
   }finally{
      //finally block used to close resources
      try{
         if(stmt!=null)
            stmt.close();
      }catch(SQLException se2){
      }// nothing we can do
      try{
         if(conn!=null)
            conn.close();
      }catch(SQLException se){
         se.printStackTrace();
      }//end finally try
   }//end try
   System.out.println("Have A Nice Day");
}//end main
}//end example

Now compile above example:

Example

C:\>javac example.java
C:\>

Output

C:\>java example
Connecting to database...
Creating statement...
Moving cursor to the last...
