In the simplest meaning, metadata is data about data.When you apply this to database, metadata is information about database data, or about table data. Examples of metadata are descriptions of the tables and column attributes, column type etc The JDBC API enables you to uncover metadata about a database and a query’s result set...
The java.sql.DatabaseMetaData is an interface implemented by the JDBC driver provired. The DatabaseMetaData interface encapsulate all the information related to the database and driver. Using this interface, you can get more detail information about database, all the table in the database, catalog name, table type (view, table, system table, synonym ) etc. Creating DatabaseMetaData...
The WebRowSet class extends the CachedRowSet class, which lets you use the same properties and methods as well as operate in disconnected mode. However, the WebRowSet object can generate XML documents representing itself. You can use these documents to create copies of the WebRowSet object, which makes it easy for you to distribute the...
The CachedRowSet class provides the same functionality as the JdbcRowSet class, with one important difference: a CachedRowSet object can operate in a disconnected environment. As a result, it can function without a JDBC driver present. Once you populate a CachedRowSet object with data you may send it over the network to thin clients (PDA’s...
The JdbcRowSet class provides a basic implementation of the javax.sql.RowSet interface, which turns a ResultSet object into a JavaBean and abstracts the details of working with ResultSet objects. You can use this object to simplify connection steps or to provide scrollable and updateable cursors for drivers that do not support these features. However, JdbcRowSet...
In Our last tutorial, Inserting Struct Object data Using JDBC i explain how to create a user-defined-type (Struct) using Oracle. We also see how to insert your own java object in that UDT. Now using the same tutorial, just we are going to see how you can read that UDT using PreparedStatement’s getObject() method....
JDBC 3.0 specification includes support for User-Defined-Type (UDT) by providing various methods in the PreparedStatement, CallableStatement and ResultSet interface. Most of the database now enable you to create structured types, used todefine complex data types. This is required in case you want to create a user-defined-type (UDT) in a database. For example, you migth...
Array, one of the SQL 99 datatypes. offers you the facility to include an ordered list of values within the column. The java.sql.Array interface to store the values of the array types. To store the Array first we need to create a User-Defined-Type Array. this can be done by creating a UDT as array...
The Statement and PreperedStatement interface family supports batch processing that enables you to submit multiple DML statements with one call to the database. This can help you minimize the number of database calls you make.To minimize the number of calls, you can send a batch of statements with one call and execute them together....
Creating table in MySQL using JDBC is not a big deal. The DBA uses DB front-end editors like Tod, phpMyAdmin etc to create a table in database visually. A java developer can also create a table using JDBC. Here we want to says that create a table using JDBC is not a good solution...
