Statement Object in JDBC
Definition
A Statement object in JDBC is used to send SQL queries and commands from a
Java program to a database. It acts as a bridge between the Java application and
the database.
The Statement object is created using the createStatement() method of the
Connection interface.
Syntax:
Statement st = [Link]();
Uses:
 Execute SQL queries.
 Insert, update, and delete records.
 Retrieve data from the database.

Types of Statement Objects in JDBC

1. PreparedStatement Object
Definition
A PreparedStatement is a precompiled SQL statement that is executed
multiple times with different values. It improves performance and provides
security against SQL injection.
Syntax
PreparedStatement ps =
[Link]("INSERT INTO Student VALUES(?,?)");
Steps
1. Create a PreparedStatement object.
2. Set values using setter methods.
3. Execute the query.
Example
PreparedStatement ps =
[Link]("INSERT INTO Student VALUES(?,?)");

[Link](1,101);
[Link](2,"Ali");

[Link]();
Advantages
 Faster execution because SQL is precompiled.
 Prevents SQL injection attacks.
 Easy to execute the same query multiple times.
 Improves readability and efficiency.
Applications
 Data insertion.
 Data updation.
 Searching records with user inputs.

2. CallableStatement Object
Definition
A CallableStatement is used to call stored procedures and functions present in
the database.
It extends the PreparedStatement interface and allows execution of database
procedures.
Syntax
CallableStatement cs =
[Link]("{call procedure_name(?,?)}");
Steps
1. Create CallableStatement object.
2. Set input parameters.
3. Register output parameters (if any).
4. Execute the procedure.
Example
CallableStatement cs =
[Link]("{call addStudent(?,?)}");

[Link](1,101);
[Link](2,"Ali");
[Link]();
Advantages
 Executes stored procedures directly.
 Reduces network traffic.
 Improves performance.
 Supports IN, OUT, and INOUT parameters.
Applications
 Banking systems.
 Payroll systems.
 Enterprise database applications.

[Link] transaction processing in jdbc

Transaction Processing in JDBC (8 Marks)
Definition
A transaction is a group of SQL statements that are executed as a single unit of
work. Either all statements are executed successfully (Commit) or none of them
are executed (Rollback).
Transaction processing ensures data consistency, integrity, and reliability in
the database.

Need for Transaction Processing

 Maintains data consistency.
  Prevents partial updates.
 Ensures data integrity during failures.
 Supports recovery from errors.
Example: In a bank transfer, money should be deducted from one account and
credited to another account together. If one operation fails, both operations must
be cancelled.

JDBC Transaction Methods

1. setAutoCommit(false)
Disables automatic committing of SQL statements.
[Link](false);
2. commit()
Saves all changes permanently to the database.
[Link]();
3. rollback()
Undoes all changes made since the last commit.
[Link]();

Example Program
Connection con = [Link](url,user,pwd);

[Link](false);

Statement st = [Link]();

[Link]("UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance-1000 WHERE

AccNo=101");

[Link]("UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance+1000 WHERE

AccNo=102");

[Link]();
If any error occurs:
[Link]();

Steps in Transaction Processing

1. Establish database connection.
 2. Disable auto-commit mode.
3. Execute SQL statements.
4. If all statements execute successfully, call commit().
5. If an error occurs, call rollback().
6. Close the connection.

Advantages
 Ensures data integrity.
 Maintains database consistency.
 Prevents data loss.
 Supports error recovery.
 Improves reliability of database operations.

"password");
Explanation:
 jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/studentdb → Database URL
 root → Username
 password → Password
 Returns a Connection object.

2. Using Only Database URL

Syntax:
Connection con =
[Link](

Connection Pooling in JDBC (12 Marks)
Definition
Connection Pooling is a technique in JDBC where a pool of database
connections is created and maintained in memory. Instead of creating a new
connection every time, an existing connection is reused from the pool.
This improves the performance of database applications by reducing the time
required to establish connections.

Need for Connection Pooling

 Creating a database connection is time-consuming.
 Frequent creation and closing of connections reduces performance.
 Reusing connections improves efficiency.
 Reduces database server load.

Explanation of Operations
1. Insert Operation
Used to add a new student record.
[Link](
"INSERT INTO Student VALUES(101,'Ali',85)");
Purpose: Inserts a new row into the Student table.

2. Retrieve Operation
Used to display all records.
ResultSet rs =
[Link]("SELECT * FROM Student");
Purpose: Fetches all student records from the database.

3. Update Operation
Used to modify existing records.
[Link](
"UPDATE Student SET Marks=90 WHERE RollNo=101");
Purpose: Updates the marks of the student.

4. Search Operation
Used to find a specific record.
rs = [Link](
"SELECT * FROM Student WHERE RollNo=101");
Purpose: Searches for a student based on Roll Number.

5. Delete Operation
Used to remove records.
[Link](
"DELETE FROM Student WHERE RollNo=101");

17. Write a notes on one result set to transaction processing

1. ResultSet
Definition
A ResultSet is an object in JDBC that stores the data returned by a SQL
SELECT query. It allows the programmer to retrieve and process records from the
database.
Creating ResultSet
Statement st = [Link]();
ResultSet rs =
[Link]("SELECT * FROM Student");
Common Methods

Method Purpose

next() Moves to next record

previous Moves to previous

() record

first() Moves to first row

last() Moves to last row

Retrieves integer
getInt()
value

getStrin
Retrieves string value
g()

Example
while([Link]())
{
[Link](
 [Link](1)+" "+
[Link](2));
}
Advantages
 Stores query results.
 Easy retrieval of records.
 Supports navigation through rows.
 Provides access to column values.

2. Transaction Processing
Definition
A Transaction is a group of SQL statements executed as a single unit of
work. Either all operations are completed successfully (Commit) or all are
cancelled (Rollback).
Need for Transaction Processing
 Maintains data consistency.
 Prevents partial updates.
 Ensures data integrity.
 Supports error recovery.
Important Methods
[Link](false);
[Link]();
[Link]();
Example
[Link](false);

Statement st = [Link]();

[Link](
"UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance-1000 WHERE AccNo=101");

[Link](
"UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance+1000 WHERE AccNo=102");

[Link]();
If any error occurs:
[Link]();
Advantages
  Maintains database consistency.
 Ensures reliable execution.
 Prevents data loss.
 Supports recovery from failures.

Difference Between ResultSet and Transaction Processing

ResultSet Transaction Processing

Manages multiple SQL

Stores query results
operations

Used with INSERT, UPDATE,

Used with SELECT queries
DELETE

Retrieves data Maintains data consistency

Uses next(), getInt(),

Uses commit() and rollback()
getString()

18. Write a program to execute a database transaction

Program to Execute a Database Transaction in JDBC (12 Marks)
Aim
To perform a database transaction using JDBC. If all SQL statements
execute successfully, the transaction is committed; otherwise, it is rolled back.

Program
import [Link].*;

public class TransactionDemo

{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
// Load Driver
[Link]("[Link]");

// Establish Connection
Connection con =
[Link](
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bankdb",
"root",
"password");
 // Disable Auto Commit
[Link](false);

Statement st =
[Link]();

// Debit Amount
[Link](
"UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance-1000 WHERE AccNo=101");

// Credit Amount
[Link](
"UPDATE Account SET Balance=Balance+1000 WHERE AccNo=102");

// Commit Transaction
[Link]();

[Link](
"Transaction Completed Successfully");

[Link]();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
[Link](e);
}
}
}

Transaction with Rollback

try
{
[Link](false);

[Link](sql1);
[Link](sql2);

[Link]();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
[Link]();

[Link](
"Transaction Rolled Back");
}
 Explanation
1. Load JDBC Driver
[Link]("[Link]");
Loads the JDBC driver.
2. Establish Connection
Connection con =
[Link](url,user,password);
Connects Java application to the database.
3. Disable Auto Commit
[Link](false);
Allows multiple SQL statements to be treated as one transaction.
4. Execute SQL Statements
[Link](sql);
Performs database operations.
5. Commit Transaction
[Link]();
Permanently saves all changes.
6. Rollback Transaction
[Link]();
Cancels all changes if an error occurs.
