Java Connection getStringFunctions() method with example
The getStringFunctions() method of the Connection interface retrieves the list of String functions supported by the current database. The names returned by this method are the Open CLI String function names.
This method returns a String value holding the list of functions separated by commas (",").
To get the list of the String functions supported by the underlying database −
- Make sure your database is up and running.
- Register the driver using the registerDriver() method of the DriverManager class. Pass an object of the driver class corresponding to the underlying database.
- Get the connection object using the getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Pass the URL the database and, user name, password of a user in the database, as String variables.
- Get the DatabaseMetaData object with respect to the current connection using the getMetaData() method of the Connection interface.
Finally, get the list of String functions supported by the underlying database, by invoking the getStringFunctions() method of the DatabaseMetaData class.
Following JDBC program establishes connection with MySQL database and, retrieves the list of String functions supported by the underlying database.
Example
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class DatabaseMetadata_getStringFunctions {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
//Registering the Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
//Getting the connection
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "root", "password");
System.out.println("Connection established......");
//Retrieving the meta data object
DatabaseMetaData metaData = con.getMetaData();
//Retrieving the list of String functions
String numeric_functions = metaData.getStringFunctions();
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(numeric_functions, ",");
while(tokenizer.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out.println(tokenizer.nextToken());
}
System.out.println(" ");
}
}Output
Connection established...... ASCII BIN BIT_LENGTH CHAR CHARACTER_LENGTH CHAR_LENGTH CONCAT CONCAT_WS CONV ELT EXPORT_SET FIELD FIND_IN_SET HEX INSERT INSTR LCASE LEFT LENGTH LOAD_FILE LOCATE LOCATE LOWER LPAD LTRIM MAKE_SET MATCH MID OCT OCTET_LENGTH ORD POSITION QUOTE REPEAT REPLACE REVERSE RIGHT RPAD RTRIM SOUNDEX SPACE STRCMP SUBSTRING SUBSTRING SUBSTRING SUBSTRING SUBSTRING_INDEX TRIM UCASE UPPER
