Database Management Systems 3 Xintao Wu JDBC (Java Database Connectivity ) v JDBC enables programmers to use SQL queries from within java programs to access databases. v JDBC provides transparent access to relational databases from different vendors.

Database Management Systems 5 Xintao Wu JDBC steps v Create the database in your dbms v Register the database as a data source v Import java.sql.* at the beginning of your java file. v Connect to a JDBC source –Connection con = ora02.uncc.edu:1521:class”,”user”,”passwd”) v Create an SQL statement –Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); – stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO sailor VALUES(22,'dustin',7,45.0)");

Database Management Systems 6 Xintao Wu JDBC Step v Execute the statement –ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(“Select * from …”) v Parse the result – rs.next(), rs.getFloat –ResultSetMetaData contains the information about column v Close the statement and connection – stmt.close() – con.close

Database Management Systems 7 Xintao Wu Useful resources v JDBC tutorial bc/index.html bc/index.html v UNCC COIT v Example INF/classes/SampleJDBC.java INF/classes/SampleJDBC.java

Database Management Systems 8 Xintao Wu Java Servlets v Web servers understand requests for pages in http and return their response in HTML format v Static html vs. dynamic html –The webpage is based on data submitted by the user –The data changes frequently (a weather-report) –Web pages uses information from a database(stock) –Maintain separate data about each client for personalization purposes(cookies). v Java servlets are programs that extend the functionality of a web server and useful for building dynamic web pages on the fly.

Database Management Systems 9 Xintao Wu Java Servlet Advantage v Works as a lightweight thread directly with the JVM rather than create a new process v Load once to memory and used by all threads v Share data among each other

Database Management Systems 10 Xintao Wu How to run servlets v Your machine, Java servlet development kit(JSDK) v COIT –consult the webpage –Consult TA
