Class DB

java.lang.Object
org.javalite.activejdbc.DB
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

public class DB extends Object implements Closeable
This class provides a number of convenience methods for opening/closing database connections, running various types of queries, and executing SQL statements. This class differs from Base such that in this class you can provide a logical name for a current connection. Use this class when you have more than one database in the system.

      Parameters:
      name - logical name for a database.
    • DB

      public DB()
      Creates a new DB object representing a connection to a DB with default name. Calling this constructor is equivalent to new DB(DB.DEFAULT_NAME).
  • Method Details

    • name

      public String name()
      Return logical name for a database.
      Returns:
      logical name for a database.
    • open

      public DB open(String driver, String url, String user, String password)
      Opens a new connection based on JDBC properties and attaches it to a current thread.
      Parameters:
      driver - class name of driver
      url - URL connection to DB
      user - user name.
      password - password.
    • open

      public DB open(String driver, String url, Properties props)
      Opens a new connection in case additional driver-specific parameters need to be passed in.
      Parameters:
      driver - driver class name
      url - JDBC URL
      props - connection properties
    • open

      public DB open(String jndiName)
      Opens a connection from JNDI based on a registered name. This assumes that there is a jndi.properties file with proper JNDI configuration in it.
      Parameters:
      jndiName - name of a configured data source.
    • open

      public DB open()
      This method will open a connection defined in the file 'database.properties' set by an initial previous call to DBConfiguration.loadConfiguration(String). The connection picked up from the file is defined by ACTIVE_ENV environment variable or active_env system property. If this variable is not defined, it defaults to 'development' environment.

      It is expected to find a single connection configuration in a current environment.

        for(Object ssn: ssns)
            System.out.println(ssn);
       
      This method collects the value of the first column of each row. If query results have more than one column, the remainder will be ignored.
      Parameters:

      Parameters:
      query - raw SQL query. This query is not parametrized.
      Returns:
      entire result set corresponding to the query.
    • find

      public RowProcessor find(String query, Object... params)
      Convenience method, same as find(RowProcessor.ResultSetType, RowProcessor.ResultSetConcur, int, String, Object...), but passes in default values:
           RowProcessor.ResultSetType.FORWARD_ONLY, RowProcessor.ResultSetConcur.READ_ONLY, 0
       
      Executes a raw query and returns an instance of RowProcessor. Use it in the following pattern:
       new DB("default").find("select first_name, last_name from really_large_table").with(new RowListenerAdapter() {
                  public void onNext(Map row) {
                      ///write your code here
                      Object o1 = row.get("first_name");
                      Object o2 = row.get("last_name");
                  }
              });
           
      The JDBC fetch size defaults to 10 records. This means that the driver will fetch and accumulate 10 records in memory. Once you read them, the driver will fetch the next 10, and so on. If you want a finer control over a fetch size, use the find(RowProcessor.ResultSetType, RowProcessor.ResultSetConcur, int, String, Object...) method
      Parameters:
      query - raw SQL, parametrized if needed
      params - list of parameters if query is parametrized.
      Returns:
      instance of RowProcessor which has with() method for convenience.
    • find

      public RowProcessor find(RowProcessor.ResultSetType type, RowProcessor.ResultSetConcur concur, int fetchSize, String query, Object... params)
      Executes a raw query and returns an instance of RowProcessor. Use it in the following pattern:
         new DB("default").find("select first_name, last_name from really_large_table", ....).with(new RowListenerAdapter() {
               public void onNext(Map row) {
                       ///write your code here
                       Object o1 = row.get("first_name");
                       Object o2 = row.get("last_name");
                   }
               });
           
      See ResultSet Docs
      Parameters:
      query - raw SQL.
      type - type of result set
      concur - concurrent mode of result set
      fetchSize - hint to the JDBC driver for the size of result set. Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for ResultSet objects generated by this Statement. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored and an entire set maybe loaded into your heap space - be careful out there!
      params - list of parameters if query is parametrized.
      Returns:
      instance of RowProcessor which has with() method for convenience.

      Creates a java.sql.PreparedStatement to be used in batch executions later.
      Parameters:
      parametrizedStatement - Example of a statement: INSERT INTO employees VALUES (?, ?).
      Returns:
      instance of java.sql.PreparedStatement with compiled query.
    • addBatch

      public void addBatch(PreparedStatement ps, Object... params)
      Adds a batch statement using given java.sql.PreparedStatement and parameters.
      Parameters:
      ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement to add batch to.
      params - parameters for the query in java.sql.PreparedStatement. Parameters will be set on the statement in the same order as provided here.
    • executeBatch

      public int[] executeBatch(PreparedStatement ps)
      Executes a batch on java.sql.PreparedStatement.
      Parameters:
      ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement to execute batch on.
      Returns:
      an array of update counts containing one element for each command in the batch. The elements of the array are ordered according to the order in which commands were added to the batch.
      See Also:
      Statement#executeBatch()
    • closePreparedStatement

      public void closePreparedStatement(PreparedStatement ps)
      Quietly closes the java.sql.PreparedStatement used in a batch execution. The advantage over calling java.sql.PreparedStatement.close() directly is not having to explicitly handle a checked exception (java.sql.SQLException). This method should typically be called in a finally block. So as not to displace any exception (e.g. from a failed batch execution) that might already be in flight, this method swallows any exception that might arise from closing the statement. This is generally seen as a worthwhile trade-off, as it much less likely for a close to fail without a prior failure.
      Parameters:
      ps - java.sql.PreparedStatement with which a batch has been executed. If null, this is a no-op.
