This chapter provides an example on how to update records in a table using JDBC application. Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place −
To execute the following example you can replace the username and password with your actual user name and password.
Your MySQL database you are using is up and running.
The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −
Import the packages − Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import java.sql.* will suffice.
Open a connection − Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a database server.
Execute a query − Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an SQL statement to update records in a table. This Query makes use of IN and WHERE clause to update conditional records.
Clean up the environment − try with resources automatically closes the resources.
Copy and paste the following example in TestApplication.java, compile and run as follows −
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class TestApplication {
static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT";
static final String USER = "guest";
static final String PASS = "guest123";
static final String QUERY = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration";
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Open a connection
try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
) {
String sql = "UPDATE Registration " +
"SET age = 30 WHERE id in (100, 101)";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(QUERY);
while(rs.next()){
//Display values
System.out.print("ID: " + rs.getInt("id"));
System.out.print(", Age: " + rs.getInt("age"));
System.out.print(", First: " + rs.getString("first"));
System.out.println(", Last: " + rs.getString("last"));
}
rs.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Now let us compile the above example as follows −
C:\>javac TestApplication.java C:\>
When you run TestApplication, it produces the following result −
C:\>java TestApplication ID: 100, Age: 30, First: Zara, Last: Ali ID: 101, Age: 30, First: Mahnaz, Last: Fatma ID: 102, Age: 30, First: Zaid, Last: Khan ID: 103, Age: 28, First: Sumit, Last: Mittal C:\>
