Accessing MySQL on NetBeans using JDBC, Part 2: Perform SQL Operations

Accessing MySQL on NetBeans using JDBC, Part 1: Create a connection
Accessing MySQL on NetBeans using JDBC, Part 2: Perform SQL Operations

Accessing MySQL on NetBeans using JDBC, Part 2: Perform SQL Operations

From Part I, I have only established a connection with local MySQL. Next Iâ€™ll show how to retrieve and modify data on remote MySQL.

MySQL Connection using in this part

Suppose that I have MySQL running remotely on IP:192.168.1.101 with default port (3306) and I want to connect to Northwind database with username is â€˜rootâ€™ and password is â€˜123456â€™. The connection string will be

String connectionUrl = "jdbc:mysql://192.168.1.101:3306/Northwind?" + 
            "user=root&password=123456";

Retrieve data from a database

To get some data, I need to execute query on the MySQL and get the result back to me. First, I create stmt (Statement object) and execute query in SQL language. Then I store the result on ResultSet object and iterative show the result on the output window.

            Statement stmt = null;
            ResultSet rs = null;
            //SQL query command
            String SQL = "SELECT * FROM Products";
            stmt = con.createStatement();
            rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.println(rs.getString("ProductName") + " : " + rs.getString("UnitPrice"));
            }

Code Explanation:
– Statement objects allow you to execute basic SQL queries and retrieve the results through the ResultSet class.
– In while-loop, iterative in the ResultSet object to show result in console (ProductName and UnitPrice columns in Products table) on output window.

The example result will be similar to below.
Note: I have imported only 4 records from Products table in Northwind database.

Select query result

Update data on database

To insert, update and delete records on SQL Server, you can use the code from retrieve data from database and simply change SQL command and also modify some code a little bit. On update, I must use executeUpdate(“SQL”) method on statement object instead executeQuery(“SQL”) and the return value will be rows affected instead of a record set.

Example
INSERT command

            // SQL insert command
            String strSQL = "INSERT INTO Products (ProductName,QuantityPerUnit,UnitPrice,UnitsInStock,UnitsOnOrder," +
                            "ReOrderLevel,Discontinued) VALUES ('MyProduct','10 Kg.',1234.0000,100,50,30,0)";
            int rowsEffected = stmt.executeUpdate(strSQL);
            System.out.println(rowsEffected + " rows effected");

UPDATE command

            // SQL update command
            String strSQL = "UPDATE Products SET UnitPrice = 900, UnitsInStock = 55, UnitsOnOrder = 5 WHERE ProductName = 'MyProduct'";
            int rowsEffected = stmt.executeUpdate(strSQL);
            System.out.println(rowsEffected + " rows effected");

DELETE command

            // SQL delete command
            String strSQL = "DELETE FROM Products WHERE ProductName = 'MyProduct'");
            int rowsEffected = stmt.executeUpdate(strSQL);
            System.out.println(rowsEffected + " rows effected");

Summary

You can download source code example testMySQL.java (Right-click on the link and select Save target Asâ€¦).
But you have to change connection string to match your environment. The example code will connect to Northwind database and try to retrieve records, insert a new record, update the record and delete the record from Products table. The result is below.

Thanks a lot! That is exactly what I needed to get jump-started on Java & MySQL.
Ian Semmel June 3, 2008

Very good.

You have no idea how hard it is to find a simple explanation like this.
ccc June 11, 2008

can i ask u question

why i cannot build because of the con.

The result of the compiler is above
symbol : variable con
location: class test.test
stmt = con.createStatement();
1 error
BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

who can help me !?
linglom June 12, 2008

I think that you haven’t completed part1: create a connection yet. You need to create a connection to MySQL before performing any query. Try to read part1 first.
ccc June 15, 2008

Thanks a lot. i had solved my problem
Arnaud June 19, 2008

Thank you for this tutorial. Very usefull indeed. I have a problem with this line:

stmt = con.createStatement();

when I write it in my Netbeans IDE, it gets red underlined, the error message says: “Cannot find symbol”
Any idea why?
NB: on the following line:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
The line is underlined grey saying that the con variable is not being used. That might be the source of the problem…

I import the followings:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Connection;
and use IDE 6.1 and MySQL 5.1, connector 5.1.6
linglom June 20, 2008

Hi, Arnaud
Normally, when you see this error message, it’ll tell which symbol. For instance,
cannot find symbol
symbol : variable aaa
location: class Main
This means that you haven’t declare a variable ‘aaa’ before using it.

According to your problem, have you already declare all of variables? Try check stmt and connectionUrl. In my example above, I have declare stmt = null and connectionUrl = “jdbc:mysql…..”.
dory June 23, 2008

@Arnaud: You have to put the code of this part inside the scope of the “try” command from Part I.
If you place the code outside, then the compiler doesn’t see the declaration for the Connection con.
Arnaud June 24, 2008

Thanks Dory, that was the answer to my problem. As I said very new to java programming.
Sorry that was very basic.
Thank you both for your answers.
By the way anybody knows where I could find a tutorial to then bind this query (INNER JOIN through more than 1 table) to a JTable?
The NetBeans tutorials only shows how to bind a simple table to a JTable, which is not very usefull as most of my tables contains ID’s we are of no meaning to the interface use.
Thank you
whatever July 18, 2008

It’s great!!! I was trying to find out a place to start JAVA MYSQL connection and found no where. All the writers assume that only professionals have the right to read their articles.

Thanks a lot for the simple but great and effective article.

Hi, inD_05
What do you means “map method”?
juanmf November 20, 2008

Hi, I have followed your examples (parts I & II) and it compiles fine, BUT when invoking:
DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pass);
it returns an error that i cant resolve by now:

Veronica December 17, 2009

I have a table named “Ciudades” with the following structure:
cod_ciudad = int
nom_ciudad = varchar
cod_provincia = varchar
I want to retrieve data from the table with the following code but instead I get nothing.

(the connection has already been created and opened)

sSentencia = m_cConexion.createStatement();
rsResultado = sSentencia.executeQuery(“SELECT * FROM Ciudades ” +
“WHERE cod_ciudad >= ” + Integer.toString(iCodigoDesde) +
” AND cod_ciudad <= " + Integer.toString(iCodigoHasta));

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
linglom January 6, 2010

Hi, Veronica
Is there any error message? First, you should try to test if the SQL query’s syntax is correct by print out the query to console window and copy it to run on the SQL Server.
Sitti February 25, 2010

I followed ur instruction step by step.. it successfully build but fail to run..

SQL Exception: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure.

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0ms ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

Why is this so? What should I check in this case?

Java Beginner
linglom February 26, 2010

Hi, Sitti
Check if the MySQL is accepting the connection from your application. Or if there is any firewall blocking.
Sitti February 26, 2010

Hi linglom,
Nothing change when I disable the firewall… How do i check for if MySQL is accepting the connection?? Is my connection string correct?? =)

try
{
Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);
String connectionUrl = “jdbc:mysql://localhost/Northwinds?;”;
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
}
catch (SQLException e)
{
System.out.println(“SQL Exception: “+ e.toString());
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException cE)
{
System.out.println(“Class Not Found Exception: “+ cE.toString());
}
linglom March 2, 2010

Hi, Sitti
First, I thought that your MySQL is on remote machine. So if it on the local machine, I suggest you to change the connection string “localhost” to your real ip address of the machine.

Also, have you forgot username and password on the connection string?
halima March 3, 2010

hey the records are getting inserted in table properly,but when i am trying to retrieve a single row i am getting a blank page. when i retrieve da whole table it is retrieving… but for one particular row it is not….
my query is : “select * from stu_detail where std_rollno=+ num +”
( String num=request.getParameter(“stdrollnumber”);
when i enter student roll number i am supposed to get student name,father’s name,address and contact no in the same page inside the textboxes.
linglom March 4, 2010

Hi, Halima

I suggest you print out your query on output window and copy it to run on SQL Server directly to see if there is any error or not.
Sitti March 5, 2010

Thank linglom.. great help… I’m able to start working on it.. â™¥
halima March 6, 2010

hey i tried in other system ,its working perfectly but i dont know wat’s da error….
plz help me with other query to retrieve a record , whatever user selects…
halima March 8, 2010

Hello Friends Feels so good to be at a place of my interest where a hope that someone can help:
I am using netbeans for my project and mysql database to create a hash table for my web search engine project
the program runs fine the Problem: is Where does the actual physical data of the mysql table is stored.
I can locate the .frm files of the table but there needs to be an .Myd file also where does it get stored??
////////////please help anyone////////////
Jules March 31, 2010

Linglom, you really did well with the way you explained this. I was able to even apply it to my JApplet in Netbeans and the part where I had to add MySQL Driver to the library made the difference.

I’d thought of using this information for my Java web development in Netbeans, but although the applet was running without any error, I kept getting a “ClassNotFoundException” error message.
What I did was to use the <jsp:plugin … to insert the applet

Please, give your counsel. Thank you.
Jules March 31, 2010

…

Applet compiled and was executed without any error, but when I used the tag to insert it into the web page, a “ClassNotFoundException” error message was generated and the part where the statement:
==>Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);<==
was made never got executed.

ap January 9, 2012

@Sahil:

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeUpdate(query);

Above code doesn’t return a ResultSet type but it returns an integer value as follows :
Return value:-
either the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or 0 for SQL statements that return nothing

So the code should be as follows : “stmt.executeUpdate(query); ” and not “ResultSet rs = stmt.executeUpdate(query); “
Sahil January 10, 2012

@ap:
The error is gone thanx for that. but still i didn’t get the desired result.Here i am showing you the code i used in MySQL:
CREATE DATABASE ebay;
USE eBay;
CREATE TABLE user_data

lname CHAR(10),
strt_adrs VARCHAR(50),
city CHAR(15),

userid VARCHAR(50),
password VARCHAR(50),
month CHAR(15),
day INTEGER,
year INTEGER );

ALTER TABLE user_data
ADD(country VARCHAR(20));

I wan’t to insert the data into it in a single click.
ap January 11, 2012

@Sahil : What error are you getting and on which line ?
ap January 11, 2012

The insert query should be somewhat like this..(i think), just try it out once :

â€œINSERT INTO user_data VALUES (â€’

Sorry about saying but when i put that my all code is showing error.

@Sahil :
Firstly, where are you writing this code, is it eclipse or netbeans or other.

and when you say u r getting errors do post the errors also.

@Sahil:

First try adding a simple entry like this in Netbeans:

statment.executeUpdate(“Insert into user_data(fname,lname,s_add) values(‘ABC’,’XYZ’,’India’)”);

and let me know if this works…

@Sahil:
Just write a simple java program which shows entries from a table in DB without the GUI. And then include the code in GUI based program.
ap January 16, 2012

@sAHIL:

U can use this code to try out as said earlier.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class select {

public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException{
Connection con=null;
Statement s=null;
ResultSet rs=null;

//DB connection
Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”).newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection(“jdbc:mysql://localhost/”,”root”,””);
System.out.println(“Connection Success!!”);

s = con.createStatement();
String query = “select * from “;
rs = s.executeQuery(query);

if(rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1) + “\t\t” + rs.getString(2));
}

}
}

can you give it according to my frame. cause i am weak in netbeans. The code given by you is showing error in my project ‘try’ which i had commented earlier.
ap January 19, 2012

@Sahil :

just create a new java file named “select.java” and paste the above code in it.

Also make the changes in code for the one’s in CAPITAL.
i.e. : TABLE-NAME :- Enter the table from which you want to retrieve details and DB-NAME :- whichever database the above table lies in.

Thank you. Your explanations helped me a lot. And everything worked perfectly. 🙂
