How to move the pointer of a ResultSet to the default position using JDBC?
The beofreFirst() method of the ResultSet interface moves the cursor/pointer to its default position i.e. before the first record.
rs.beforeFirst();
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 demonstrates how to move the ResultSet pointer to the default position i.e. before first row.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class ResultSet_DefaultPosition {
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.absolute(4);
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(" ");
//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(" ");
}
}
}
