In this article, we will learn and understand JDBC i.e.; Java DataBase Connectivity

JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity)

• JDBC Java DataBase Connectivity is a standard set of API (Application Programming Interface)
• It is used to interact with different variety of databases from Java application

Interaction with Database :

These interactions could be,

• Creating and closing connection with database
• Creating and executing DDL queries i.e.; create, drop, alter
• Creating and executing DML queries i.e.; insert, select, update and delete
• Creating and executing DCL queries i.e.; grant and revoke access privileges
• Invoking and executing stored procedure
• Invoking and executing stored function

Purpose of JDBC API :

JDBC API are set of classes and interfaces which defines how to interact with database to

• Establish a connection with database
• Executing SQL (DDL and DML) and MySql (stored procedure and stored function) queries
• Processing result set obtained as a result of executing SQL and MySql queries
• Getting metadata about database and result set
• Maintaining integrity of the database using JDBC transaction
• Gracefully closing all open connection and other things
