java.sql.Connection

Connection
public interface Connection extends Wrapper(Code)

A connection (session) with a specific database. SQL statements are executed and results are returned within the context of a connection.

A Connection object's database is able to provide information describing its tables, its supported SQL grammar, its stored procedures, the capabilities of this connection, and so on. This information is obtained with the getMetaData method.

Note: When configuring a Connection, JDBC applications should use the appropritate Connection method such as setAutoCommit or setTransactionIsolation. Applications should not invoke SQL commands directly to change the connection's configuration when there is a JDBC method available. By default a Connection object is in auto-commit mode, which means that it automatically commits changes after executing each statement. If auto-commit mode has been disabled, the method commit must be called explicitly in order to commit changes; otherwise, database changes will not be saved.

A new Connection object created using the JDBC 2.1 core API has an initially empty type map associated with it. A user may enter a custom mapping for a UDT in this type map. When a UDT is retrieved from a data source with the method ResultSet.getObject, the getObject method will check the connection's type map to see if there is an entry for that UDT. If so, the getObject method will map the UDT to the class indicated. If there is no entry, the UDT will be mapped using the standard mapping.

A user may create a new type map, which is a java.util.Map object, make an entry in it, and pass it to the java.sql methods that can perform custom mapping. In this case, the method will use the given type map instead of the one associated with the connection.

For example, the following code fragment specifies that the SQL type ATHLETES will be mapped to the class Athletes in the Java programming language. The code fragment retrieves the type map for the Connection object con, inserts the entry into it, and then sets the type map with the new entry as the connection's type map.

 java.util.Map map = con.getTypeMap();
 map.put("mySchemaName.ATHLETES", Class.forName("Athletes"));
 con.setTypeMap(map);

Field Detail
TRANSACTION_NONE
int TRANSACTION_NONE(Code)
A constant indicating that transactions are not supported.



TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED
int TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED(Code)
A constant indicating that dirty reads are prevented; non-repeatable reads and phantom reads can occur. This level only prohibits a transaction from reading a row with uncommitted changes in it.



TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED
int TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED(Code)
A constant indicating that dirty reads, non-repeatable reads and phantom reads can occur. This level allows a row changed by one transaction to be read by another transaction before any changes in that row have been committed (a "dirty read"). If any of the changes are rolled back, the second transaction will have retrieved an invalid row.



TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ
int TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ(Code)
A constant indicating that dirty reads and non-repeatable reads are prevented; phantom reads can occur. This level prohibits a transaction from reading a row with uncommitted changes in it, and it also prohibits the situation where one transaction reads a row, a second transaction alters the row, and the first transaction rereads the row, getting different values the second time (a "non-repeatable read").



TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE
int TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE(Code)
A constant indicating that dirty reads, non-repeatable reads and phantom reads are prevented. This level includes the prohibitions in TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ and further prohibits the situation where one transaction reads all rows that satisfy a WHERE condition, a second transaction inserts a row that satisfies that WHERE condition, and the first transaction rereads for the same condition, retrieving the additional "phantom" row in the second read.

close
void close() throws SQLException(Code)
Releases this Connection object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for them to be automatically released.

Calling the method close on a Connection object that is already closed is a no-op.

It is strongly recommended that an application explicitly commits or rolls back an active transaction prior to calling the close method. If the close method is called and there is an active transaction, the results are implementation-defined.

prepareStatement
PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql) throws SQLException(Code)
Creates a PreparedStatement object for sending parameterized SQL statements to the database.

A SQL statement with or without IN parameters can be pre-compiled and stored in a PreparedStatement object. This object can then be used to efficiently execute this statement multiple times.

Note: This method is optimized for handling parametric SQL statements that benefit from precompilation. If the driver supports precompilation, the method prepareStatement will send the statement to the database for precompilation. Some drivers may not support precompilation. In this case, the statement may not be sent to the database until the PreparedStatement object is executed. This has no direct effect on users; however, it does affect which methods throw certain SQLException objects.

Result sets created using the returned PreparedStatement object will by default be type TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and have a concurrency level of CONCUR_READ_ONLY. The holdability of the created result sets can be determined by calling Connection.getHoldability .
Parameters:
  sql - an SQL statement that may contain one or more '?' INparameter placeholders a new default PreparedStatement object containing thepre-compiled SQL statement
exception:
  SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed connection

setAutoCommit
void setAutoCommit(boolean autoCommit) throws SQLException(Code)
Sets this connection's auto-commit mode to the given state. If a connection is in auto-commit mode, then all its SQL statements will be executed and committed as individual transactions. Otherwise, its SQL statements are grouped into transactions that are terminated by a call to either the method commit or the method rollback. By default, new connections are in auto-commit mode.

The commit occurs when the statement completes. The time when the statement completes depends on the type of SQL Statement:

  • For DML statements, such as Insert, Update or Delete, and DDL statements, the statement is complete as soon as it has finished executing.
  • For Select statements, the statement is complete when the associated result set is closed.
  • For CallableStatement objects or for statements that return multiple results, the statement is complete when all of the associated result sets have been closed, and all update counts and output parameters have been retrieved.

NOTE: If this method is called during a transaction and the auto-commit mode is changed, the transaction is committed. If setAutoCommit is called and the auto-commit mode is not changed, the call is a no-op.
Parameters:
  autoCommit - true to enable auto-commit mode; false to disable it
exception:
  SQLException - if a database access error occurs,setAutoCommit(true) is called while participating in a distributed transaction, or this method is called on a closed connection
See Also:   Connection.getAutoCommit




setCatalog
void setCatalog(String catalog) throws SQLException(Code)
Sets the given catalog name in order to select a subspace of this Connection object's database in which to work.

If the driver does not support catalogs, it will silently ignore this request.
Parameters:
  catalog - the name of a catalog (subspace in this Connection object's database) in which to work
exception:
  SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed connection
See Also:   Connection.getCatalog




setClientInfo
void setClientInfo(String name, String value) throws SQLClientInfoException(Code)
Sets the value of the client info property specified by name to the value specified by value.

Applications may use the DatabaseMetaData.getClientInfoProperties method to determine the client info properties supported by the driver and the maximum length that may be specified for each property.

The driver stores the value specified in a suitable location in the database. For example in a special register, session parameter, or system table column. For efficiency the driver may defer setting the value in the database until the next time a statement is executed or prepared. Other than storing the client information in the appropriate place in the database, these methods shall not alter the behavior of the connection in anyway. The values supplied to these methods are used for accounting, diagnostics and debugging purposes only.

The driver shall generate a warning if the client info name specified is not recognized by the driver.

If the value specified to this method is greater than the maximum length for the property the driver may either truncate the value and generate a warning or generate a SQLClientInfoException. If the driver generates a SQLClientInfoException, the value specified was not set on the connection.

The following are standard client info properties. Drivers are not required to support these properties however if the driver supports a client info property that can be described by one of the standard properties, the standard property name should be used.

  • ApplicationName - The name of the application currently utilizing the connection
  • ClientUser - The name of the user that the application using the connection is performing work for. This may not be the same as the user name that was used in establishing the connection.
  • ClientHostname - The hostname of the computer the application using the connection is running on.


Parameters:
  name - The name of the client info property to set
Parameters:
  value - The value to set the client info property to. If the value is null, the current value of the specifiedproperty is cleared.


throws:
  SQLClientInfoException - if the database server returns an error while setting the client info value on the database server or this method is called on a closed connection


since:
   1.6




setClientInfo
void setClientInfo(Properties properties) throws SQLClientInfoException(Code)
Sets the value of the connection's client info properties. The Properties object contains the names and values of the client info properties to be set. The set of client info properties contained in the properties list replaces the current set of client info properties on the connection. If a property that is currently set on the connection is not present in the properties list, that property is cleared. Specifying an empty properties list will clear all of the properties on the connection. See setClientInfo (String, String) for more information.

If an error occurs in setting any of the client info properties, a SQLClientInfoException is thrown. The SQLClientInfoException contains information indicating which client info properties were not set. The state of the client information is unknown because some databases do not allow multiple client info properties to be set atomically. For those databases, one or more properties may have been set before the error occurred.


Parameters:
  properties - the list of client info properties to set
