You can get the name of a particular column using the getColumnName() method of the ResultSetMetadata interface.This method accepts an integer value representing the index of a column and returns a String value representing the name of the specified column.Let us create a table with name MyPlayers in MySQL database using CREATE statement as shown below −CREATE TABLE MyPlayers(    ID INT,    First_Name VARCHAR(255),    Last_Name VARCHAR(255),    Date_Of_Birth date,    Place_Of_Birth VARCHAR(255),    Country VARCHAR(255),    PRIMARY KEY (ID) );Now, we will insert 7 records in MyPlayers table using INSERT statements −insert into MyPlayers values(1, 'Shikhar', 'Dhawan', DATE('1981-12-05'), 'Delhi', 'India'); insert into MyPlayers ...

You can get the list of databases in MySQL using the SHOW DATABASES query.show databases;Following JDBC program retrieves the list of databases by executing the show databases query.Exampleimport java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.Statement; public class ShowDatabasesExample {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {       //Registering the Driver       DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());       //Getting the connection       String mysqlUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase";       Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(mysqlUrl, "root", "password");       System.out.println("Connection established......");       //Creating a Statement object       Statement stmt = con.createStatement(); ...

ResultSet holdability determines whether the ResultSet objects (cursors) should be closed or held open when a transaction (that contains the said cursor/ ResultSet object) is committed using the commit() method of the Connection interface.ResultSet interface provides two values to specify the holdability namely CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT and HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMITIf the holdability of the ResultSet object is set to this value. Whenever you commit/save a transaction using the commit() method of the Connection interface, the ResultSet objects created in the current transaction (that are already opened) will be held open.Therefore, if you need to hold the ResultSet cursor open after the commit automatically, set ...

You can get the list of tables in the current database in MySQL using the SHOW TABLES query.Show tables;Following JDBC program retrieves the list of tables in the database by executing the show tables query.Exampleimport java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.Statement; public class ListingTables {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {       //Registering the Driver       DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());       //Getting the connection       String mysqlUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase";       Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(mysqlUrl, "root", "password");       System.out.println("Connection established......");       //Creating a Statement object ...

Whenever we execute SQL statements using the executeQuery() method, it returns a ResultSet object which holds the tabular data returned by the SELECT queries(in general).The ResultSet object contains a cursor/pointer which points to the current row. Initially this cursor is positioned before first row (default position).The isClosed() method of the ResultSet interface is used to determine whether the current ResultSet object is closed.rs.isclosed()Let us create a table with name tutorials_data in MySQL database using CREATE statement as shown below −CREATE TABLE tutorials_data (    tutorial_id INT,    tutorial_title VARCHAR(100),    tutorial_author VARCHAR(40),    submission_date date,    PRIMARY KEY (tutorial_id) );Now, we will insert 5 ...

Whenever we execute SQL statements using the executeQuery() method, it returns a ResultSet object which holds the tabular data returned by the SELECT queries(in general).The ResultSet object contains a cursor/pointer which points to the current row. Initially this cursor is positioned before first row (default position).The next() methodThe next() method of the ResultSet interface moves the pointer of the current (ResultSet) object to the next row, from the current position.This method returns a boolean value specifying whether the ResultSet object contains more rows. If there are no rows next to its current position this method returns false, else it returns true.Therefore, ... Read More

In JDBC there are two scrollable ResultSets namely, scrollable sensitive and, scrollable insensitive.In the TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE ResultSet the cursor moves in forward or backward directions. This type of ResultSet is insensitive to the changes that are made in the database i.e. the modifications done in the database are not reflected in the ResultSet.Which means if we have established a connection with a database using JDBC program and retrieved a ResultSet holding all the records in a table named SampleTable. Meanwhile if we have added some more records to the table (after retrieving getting the ResultSet), these recent changes will not be reflected ... Read More

Initially this cursor is positioned before first row (default position).You can move the cursor of the ResultSet object to the first row from the current position, using the first() method of the ResultSet interface.rs.first()This method returns a boolean value specifying whether the cursor has been moved to the first row successfully.If there are no rows in the current ResultSet object this method returns false, else it ...

Initially this cursor is positioned before first row (default position).You can move the cursor of the ResultSet object to the last row from the current position, using the last() method of the ResultSet interface.rs.last()This method returns a boolean value specifying whether the cursor has been moved to the last row successfully.If there are no rows in the current ResultSet object this method returns false, else ...
