JdbcRowSet interface

In this section we will read about the JdbcRowSet interface in Java.

javax.sql.rowset.JdbcRowSet is an interface which is a wrapper around a ResultSet object that facilitate to work with the ResultSet object as a JavaBeans component. JdbcRowSet object, an enhanced ResultSet object keeps the connection to its data source like a ResultSet object keeps. JdbcRowSet has a set of properties and listener notification mechanism. JdbcRowSet object makes the ResultSet objects scrollable and updatable.

Object of interface JdbcRowSet can be created by following ways :

1. By a constructor which is implemented by reference and took the object of ResultSet.

2. By a constructor which is implemented by reference and took the object of Connection.

3. By a default constructor which is implemented by reference.

4. Using an instance of RowSetFactory

You can create JdbcRowSet object using com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl default constructor as follows :

jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl();
jrs.setCommand("select * from COFFEES");
jrs.setUrl("jdbc:odbc:swing");
//jrs.setUsername(username);
//jrs.setPassword(password);
jrs.execute();

JdbcRowSet object can be created using RowSetFactory as follows :

RowSetFactory rsf = RowSetProvider.newFactory();
JdbcRowSet jrs = rsf.createJdbcRowSet();
jrs.setUrl("jdbc:odbc:swing");
jrs.setUsername(username);
jrs.setPassword(password);
jrs.setCommand("select * from emp");
jrs.execute();

An easy way to create a JdbcRowSet object is to pass a ResultSet object into the com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl constructor. This will create a JdbcRowSet object with the facility to populate it with the ResultSet object's data.

for example :

String sql = "select * from emp";
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();			
JdbcRowSet jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl(rs);

To create object of JdbcRowSet by passing the Connection object you can pass the Connection object into the com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl constructor as follows :

jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl(conn);
jrs.setCommand("select * from emp");
jrs.execute();

Methods Of JdbcRowSet

• commit() : This method is used to grant auto commit or non auto commit transactional control support.
  
  Syntax : void commit() throws SQLException
   
• getAutoCommit() : This method is used to provide the application to specify the transactional behavior of JdbcRowSet.
  
  Syntax : boolean getAutoCommit() throws SQLException
   
• getRowSetWarnings() : This object is used to get the warning generated by the JdbcRowSet object.
  
  Syntax : RowSetWarning getRowSetWarnings() throws SQLException
   
• getShowDeleted() : This method specifies whether the row is marked for deleting or not. In case of value is returned to true then the deleted rows will be visible with the current rows otherwise not visible. Default value is false.
  
  Syntax : boolean getShowDeleted() throws SQLException
   
• rollback() : This method is used to cancel the current transaction's changes and make free from the database locks (if) held by the Connection object.
  
  Syntax : void rollback() throws SQLException
   
• rollback(Savepoint s) : This method is used to cancel the current transaction's changes to the last set savepoint and make free from the database locks (if) held by the Connection object.
  
  Syntax : void rollback(Savepoint s) throws SQLException
   
• setAutoCommit(boolean autoCommit) : This method grants an application for setting the JdbcRowSet transaction behavior.
  
  Syntax : void setAutoCommit(boolean autoCommit) throws SQLException
   
• setShowDeleted(boolean b) : This method is used to set the showDeleted value with the specified boolean value.
  
  Syntax : void setShowDeleted(boolean b) throws SQLException

Example

Here an example is being given which demonstrates about how to create object of JdbcRowSet and how its object manipulates with the ResultSet object. Here in this example I have created object by passing the ResultSet object to JdbcRowSetImpl(). In this example I have created a Java class where loaded a driver and make a connection with the database and write a SQL statement to display all the records in the emp table. The main thing is I have passed the two constants ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE which makes the ResultSet object scrollable and updatable. This is required if the createStatement() method is used without passing the parameter the ResultSet object will not be the scrollable and updatable and neither the JdbcRowSet object.
