Java DatabaseMetaData getJDBCMinorVersion() method with example


The getJDBCMinorVersion() method of the DatabaseMetaData interface returns the minor version of the JDBC driver in integer format.

To get the major version of the JDBC driver −

  • 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 minor version of the JDBC driver using the getJDBCMinorVersion() method of the DatabaseMetaData interface .

Example

Following JDBC program establishes connection with MySQL database, retrieves and, displays the minor version of the JDBC driver.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class DatabaseMetaData_getJDBCMinorVersion {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
      //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......");
      //Retrieving the meta data object
      DatabaseMetaData metaData = con.getMetaData();
      //Retrieving the major version of the JDBC driver
      int version = metaData.getJDBCMinorVersion();
      System.out.println("Minor JDBC version number of the JDBC driver: "+version);
   }
}

Output

Connection established......
Minor JDBC version number of the JDBC driver: 0
