Select record using statement JDBC

by

The JDBC statement is used to execute queries against the database. Let us study JDBC Statement by select records example.

Example:

JDBCTest.java

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import com.w3schools.util.JDBCUtil;
 
/**
 * This class is used to select a list of records from DB table.
 * @author w3schools
 */
public class JDBCTest {
	public static void main(String args[]){
		Connection conn = null;
		Statement statement = null;
 
		String query = "select EMPLOYEE_ID, NAME from EMPLOYEE";
 
		try{			
			//get connection
			conn = JDBCUtil.getConnection();
 
			//create statement
			statement = conn.createStatement();
 
			//execute query
			ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
			while (rs.next()) {				 
			   String empId = rs.getString("EMPLOYEE_ID");
			   String empName = rs.getString("NAME");
 
			   System.out.println("EmpId : " + empId);
			   System.out.println("EmpName : " + empName); 
			}
 
			//close connection
			statement.close();
			conn.close();
		}catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}	
}

JDBCUtil.java

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
 
/**
 * This is a utility class for JDBC connection.
 * @author w3schools
 */
public class JDBCUtil {
	//JDBC and database properties.
	private static final String DB_DRIVER = 
		           "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
	private static final String DB_URL = 
		        "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE";
	private static final String DB_USERNAME = "system";
	private static final String DB_PASSWORD = "oracle";
 
	public static Connection getConnection(){
		Connection conn = null;
		try{
			//Register the JDBC driver
			Class.forName(DB_DRIVER);
 
			//Open the connection
			conn = DriverManager.
			getConnection(DB_URL, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD);
 
			if(conn != null){
			   System.out.println("Successfully connected.");
			}else{
			   System.out.println("Failed to connect.");
			}
		}catch(Exception e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return conn;
	}	
}

Output:

Successfully connected.
