The setBlob() method is used to set value for Blob datatype in the database. It has three variants as follows:void setBlob(int parameterIndex, Blob x): Sets the given Blob value to the parameter at the specified index.void setBlob(int parameterIndex, InputStream inputStream): Sets the contents of the given input stream as a value to the parameter at the specified index.void setBlob(int parameterIndex, InputStream inputStream, long length): Sets the contents of the given input stream as a value to the parameter at the specified index.The setBinaryStream() method is used to set the contents of the given InputStream as a value for the parameter ...

The setBinaryStream() method of the PreparedStatement interface accepts an integer representing the index of the parameter and an InputStream object and sets the parameter to the given InputStream object. Whenever you need to send very large binary value you can use this method.And SQL databases provide a datatype named Blob (Binary Large Object) in this you can store large binary data like images.Storing image using JDBCIf you need to store an image in a database using the JDBC program create a table with a Blob datatype as shown below:CREATE TABLE Tutorial(Name VARCHAR(255), Type INT NOT NULL, Logo BLOB);Now, using JDBC, connect ...

Savepoint interface gives you the additional transactional control. Most modern DBMS, support save points within their environments such as Oracle's PL/SQL.When you set a save point you define a logical rollback point within a transaction. If an error occurs past a save point, you can use the rollback method to undo either all the changes or only the changes made after the save point.The Connection object has two new methods that help you manage save points −setSavepoint(String savepointName): Defines a new save point. It also returns a Savepoint object.releaseSavepoint(Savepoint savepointName): Deletes a Savepoint. Notice that it requires a Savepoint object ... Read More

We have two types of ResultSet objects namely, forward Only and, bi-directional as the names suggest you can move in only one direction (forward) in forward only ResultSet and, in bidirectional ResultSet you can move the pointer in both directions. The ResultSet interface provides several methods to navigate through both types of ResultSet objects.Following table lists various methods to navigate through ResultSet object.MethodDescriptionnext()This method moves the resultset pointer one row forward.Previous() This method moves the resultset pointer one row backward.first()This method moves the resultset pointer to the first row.last()This method moves the resultset pointer to the last row.relative()This method accepts an ...

The escape syntax gives you the flexibility to use database specific features unavailable to you by using standard JDBC methods and properties.The general SQL escape syntax format is as follow:{keyword 'parameters'}Following are various escape syntaxes in JDBC:d, t, ts Keywords: They help identify date, time, and timestamp literals. As you know, no two DBMSs represent time and date the same way. This escape syntax tells the driver to render the date or time in the target database's format{d 'yyyy-mm-dd'}Where yyyy = year, mm = month; dd = date. Using this syntax {d '2009-09-03'} is March 9, 2009.Example//Create a Statement object ... Read More

To update the contents of the ResultSet you need to create a statement by passing the ResultSet type updatable, as://Creating a Statement object Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);Just like getXXX() and setXXX() methods ResultSet interface also provides methods to update the contents of a row in a result set updateXXX().These methods accept integer values representing the index or, a String value representing the column label, of the row to be updated.Note that if you need to update the contents of a ResultSet the table should have a primary key.ExampleAssume we have a table named Employees with 5 records as shown ...

A RowSet is a wrapper around a ResultSet Object. It can be connected, disconnected from the database and can be serialized. It maintains a JavaBean component by setting the properties. You can pass a RowSet object over the network. By default, RowSet object is scrollable and updatable and it is used to make a ResultSet object scrollable and updatable.You Can get a RowSet using theRowSetProvider.newFactory().createJdbcRowSet() method.ExampleAssume we have a table named dataset in the database as:+--------------+-----------+ | mobile_brand | unit_sale | +--------------+-----------+ | Iphone       |      3000 | | Samsung      |      4000 ...
