How to insert a row into a ResultSet object using JDBC?


The insertRow() method of the ResultSet interface inserts a new row into the ResultSet object as well as the table.

//Deleting a column from the ResultSet object
rs.insertRow();

Assume we have a table named cricketers_data with 6 records as shown below:

+----+------------+------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+
| ID | First_Name | Last_Name  | Year_Of_Birth | Place_Of_Birth | Country     |
+----+------------+------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+
| 1  | Shikhar    | Dhawan     | 1981-12-05    | Delhi          | India       |
| 2  | Jonathan   | Trott      | 1981-04-22    | CapeTown       | SouthAfrica |
| 3  | Lumara     | Sangakkara | 1977-10-27    | Matale         | Srilanka    |
| 4  | Virat      | Kohli      | 1988-11-05    | Delhi          | India       |
| 5  | Rohit      | Sharma     | 1987-04-30    | Nagpur         | India       |   
| 6  | Ravindra   | Jadeja     | 1988-12-06    | Nagpur         | India       |
+----+------------+------------+---------------+----------------+-------------+

Following JDBC program establishes a connection with the database, retrieves the contents of the cricketers_data table into a ResultSet object and, inserts a row into it and prints the results:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Date;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class ResultSet_InsertingRow {
   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.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
      //Query to retrieve the contents of the employee_data table
      String query = "select * from Cricketers_Dataa";
      //Executing the query
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      rs.beforeFirst();
      rs.moveToInsertRow();
      rs.updateInt(1, 7);
      rs.updateString(2, "James");
      rs.updateString(3, "Anderson");
      rs.updateDate(4, new Date(394243200000L));
      rs.updateString(5, "Burnely");
      rs.updateString(6, "England");
      //Deleting a column from the ResultSet object
      rs.insertRow();
      //Contents of the current row
      rs.beforeFirst();
      while (rs.next()) {
         System.out.print("id: "+rs.getInt(1)+", ");
         System.out.print("First name: "+rs.getString(2)+", ");
         System.out.print("Last name: "+rs.getString(3)+", ");
         System.out.print("Year of birth: "+rs.getDate(4)+", ");
         System.out.print("Place of birth: "+rs.getString(5)+", ");
         System.out.print("Country: "+rs.getString(6));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output
