How to reorder the columns of a table in JDBC?
You can reorder the columns of a table in MySQL database using the ALTER TABLE command.
Syntax
ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name datatype AFTER another_column
Assume we have a table named dispatches_data in the database with 7 columns namely ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location and, ID with description as −
//Retrieving the Time object
Time timeObj = rs.getTime("DeliveryTime");
//Converting the Time object to String format
String time = timeObj.toString();Example
Let us create a table with name dispatches in MySQL database using CREATE statement as follows −
CREATE TABLE dispatches( ProductName VARCHAR(255), CustomerName VARCHAR(255), Price INT, Location VARCHAR(255), DispatchTimeStamp timestamp);
Now, we will insert 6 records in dispatches_data table using INSERT statements −
insert into dispatches values('Key-Board', 'Raja', 7000, 'Hyderabad', TIMESTAMP('2019-05-04 15:02:45'));
insert into dispatches values('Earphones', 'Roja', 2000, 'Vishakhapatnam', TIMESTAMP('2019-06-26 14:13:12'));
insert into dispatches values('Mouse', 'Puja', 3000, 'Vijayawada', TIMESTAMP('2019-12-07 07:50:37'));
insert into dispatches values('Mobile', 'Vanaja', 9000, 'Chennai', TIMESTAMP('2018-03-21 16:00:45'));
insert into dispatches values('Headset', 'Jalaja', 6000, 'Goa', TIMESTAMP('2018-12-30 10:49:27'));
insert into dispatches values('Watch', 'Rajan', 4000, 'Chennai', TIMESTAMP('2019-04-21 14:17:02'));Following JDBC program establishes connection with the database and re-orders the columns of the dispatches_data table.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class ReorderingColumnsOfTable {
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();
//Query to re-order the table
String query = "ALTER TABLE dispatches_data MODIFY DispatchTimeStamp timestamp AFTER CustomerName";
//Executing the query
stmt.execute(query);
//Retrieving the contents of the dispatches_data table
stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from dispatches_data");
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.print("Name: "+rs.getString("ProductName")+", ");
System.out.print("Customer Name: "+rs.getString("CustomerName")+", ");
System.out.print("Dispatch time stamp: "+rs.getTimestamp("DispatchTimeStamp")+", ");
System.out.print("Price: "+rs.getInt("Price")+", ");
System.out.print("Location: "+rs.getString("Location"));
System.out.println();
}
}
}Here, in this program we are moving the DispatchTimeStamp column from 5th position to 3rd position using the alter command.
Output
Connection established...... Name: Key-Board, Customer Name: Raja, Dispatch time stamp: 2019-05-04 15:02:45.0, Price: 7000, Location: Hyderabad Name: Earphones, Customer Name: Roja, Dispatch time stamp: 2019-06-26 14:13:12.0, Price: 2000, Location: Vishakhapatnam Name: Mouse, Customer Name: Puja, Dispatch time stamp: 2019-12-07 07:50:37.0, Price: 3000, Location: Vijayawada Name: Mobile, Customer Name: Vanaja, Dispatch time stamp: 2018-03-21 16:00:45.0, Price: 9000, Location: Chennai Name: Headset, Customer Name: Jalaja, Dispatch time stamp: 2018-12-30 10:49:27.0, Price: 6000, Location: Goa Name: Watch, Customer Name: Rajan, Dispatch time stamp: 2019-04-21 14:17:02.0, Price: 4000, Location: Chennai if you verify the contents of the table you can observe that the order of the columns has been changed.
