Spring Semester 2003

The topic for today is: RDBMS and Java. JDBC.

What you need:

• You need a driver: mm.mysql-2.0.2-bin.jar. (I will give it to you).

• You also need to point your CLASSPATH variable to it.

• You need basic knowledge of SQL and mysql.

• You then need to see the following basic examples:

Here's how you connect, and create tables.

import java.sql.*; 

public class CreateTable { 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try { 
            Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); 
        } catch (Exception e) { 
            System.out.println("Can't load JDBC Driver. Make sure classpath is correct."); 
        }
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/a348", 
            username = "a348", 
            password = "a348AG"; 
        Connection connection; 

        try {
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); 

            Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); 
            ResultSet result; 
            System.out.println("Creating tables..."); 

            statement.executeUpdate(
              " create table dgerman_person ( "                  + 
              "   name      varchar(100) not null primary key, " + 
              "   age       int unsigned not null            , " + 
              "   lives_in  varchar(100) not null              " + 
              " ) " 
            ); 

            statement.close(); 
            connection.close(); 

        } catch (SQLException e) { 
            System.out.println("An SQLException occurred: " + e.getMessage()); 
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e); 
        }

    }
}
