JDBC Interfaces

JDBC interface is a set of API methods for users. This section describes some common interfaces. For other interfaces, see information in JDK1.6 (software package) and JDBC 4.0.

java.sql.Connection

This section describes java.sql.Connection, the interface for connecting to a database.

The interface uses the AutoCommit mode by default, but you can disable it by setting setAutoCommit to false. This will package all subsequent statements in explicit transactions. Note that you will not be able to execute statements that cannot be executed within transactions.

  • addBatch() and execute() can be executed only after clearBatch().
  • Calling the executeBatch() method does not clear the batch. Clear batch by explicitly calling clearBatch().
  • You do not need to use set*() to reuse the values of bounded variables in a batch after they have been added.
  • The following methods are inherited from java.sql.Statement: close, execute, executeQuery, executeUpdate, getConnection, getResultSet, getUpdateCount, isClosed, setMaxRows, and setFetchSize.

java.sql.ResultSetMetaData

This section describes java.sql.ResultSetMetaData, which provides details about ResultSet object information.

java.sql.Statement

This section describes java.sql.Statement, the interface for executing SQL statements.

Table 8 java.sql.Statement methods

Method

Return Type

Support JDBC 4 or Not

close()

void

Yes

execute(String sql)

boolean

Yes

Yes

isClosed()

boolean

Yes

setQueryTimeout(int seconds)

void

Yes

setFetchSize(int rows)

void

Yes

cancel()

void

Yes

setFetchSize can reduce the memory occupied by the result set on the client. Result sets are packaged into cursors and segmented for processing, which will increase the communication traffic between the database and the client, affecting performance.

Database cursors are valid only within their transactions. Therefore, when setting setFetchSize, set setAutoCommit to false and commit transactions on the connection to flush service data to a database.

The CopyManager class is in the org.postgresql.copy package class and inherits the java.lang.Object class. The declaration of the class is as follows:

public class CopyManager
extends Object
