Interface Connection

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Wrapper
All Known Implementing Classes:
JDBCConnection
public interface Connection
extends Wrapper, AutoCloseable
A connection represents a link from a Java application to a database. All SQL statements and results are returned within the context of a connection. Database statements that are executed within this context form a database session which forms one or more closed transactions. Especially in distributed applications, multiple concurrent connections may exist accessing the same values of the database. which may lead to the following phenomena (referred to as transaction isolation levels):
  • dirty reads:
    reading values from table rows that are not committed.
  • non-repeatable reads:
    reading table rows more than once in a transaction but getting back different data because other transactions have altered the rows between the reads.
  • phantom reads:
    retrieving additional "phantom" rows in the course of repeated table reads because other transactions have inserted additional rows that satisfy an SQL WHERE clause

      PreparedStatement prepareStatement​(String sql) throws SQLException
      Returns a new instance of PreparedStatement that may be used any number of times to execute parameterized requests on the database server.

      Subject to JDBC driver support, this operation will attempt to send the precompiled version of the statement to the database. If the driver does not support precompiled statements, the statement will not reach the database server until it is executed. This distinction determines the moment when SQLExceptions get raised.

    • prepareStatement

      PreparedStatement prepareStatement​(String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys) throws SQLException
      Creates a default PreparedStatement that can retrieve automatically generated keys. Parameter autoGeneratedKeys may be used to tell the driver whether such keys should be made accessible. This is only relevant when the sql statement is an insert statement.

      An SQL statement which may have IN parameters can be stored and precompiled in a PreparedStatement. The PreparedStatement can then be then be used to execute the statement multiple times in an efficient way.

      Subject to JDBC driver support, this operation will attempt to send the precompiled version of the statement to the database. If the driver does not support precompiled statements, the statement will not reach the database server until it is executed. This distinction determines the moment when SQLExceptions get raised.

      By default, ResultSets from the returned object will be ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY type with a ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY mode of concurrency.

      Parameters:
      sql - the SQL statement.
      autoGeneratedKeys - one of the following generated key options:

If sql is an SQL INSERT statement, the parameter columnIndexes is expected to hold the index values for each column in the statement's intended database table containing the autogenerated-keys of interest. Otherwise columnIndexes is ignored.

      Subject to JDBC driver support, this operation will attempt to send the precompiled version of the statement to the database. If the driver does not support precompiled statements, the statement will not reach the database server until it is executed. This distinction determines the moment when SQLExceptions get raised.

      By default, ResultSets from the returned object will be ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY type with a ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY concurrency mode.

      Parameters:
      sql - the SQL statement.
      columnIndexes - the indexes of the columns for which auto-generated keys should be made available.

If sql is an SQL INSERT statement, columnNames is expected to hold the names of each column in the statement's associated database table containing the autogenerated-keys of interest. Otherwise columnNames is ignored.

      Subject to JDBC driver support, this operation will attempt to send the precompiled version of the statement to the database. Alternatively, if the driver is not capable of handling precompiled statements, the statement will not reach the database server until it is executed. This will have a bearing on precisely when SQLException instances get raised.

      By default, ResultSets from the returned object will be ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY type with a ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY concurrency mode.

      Parameters:
      sql - the SQL statement.
      columnNames - the names of the columns for which auto-generated keys should be made available.

      Releases the specified savepoint from the present transaction. Once removed, the Savepoint is considered invalid and should not be referenced further.
      Parameters:
      savepoint - the object targeted for removal.
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is a problem with accessing the database or if savepoint is considered not valid in this transaction.

    • rollback

      void rollback() throws SQLException
      Rolls back all updates made so far in this transaction and relinquishes all acquired database locks. It is an error to invoke this operation when in auto-commit mode.
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is a problem with the database or if the method is called while in auto-commit mode of operation.

    • rollback

      void rollback​(Savepoint savepoint) throws SQLException
      Undoes all changes made after the supplied Savepoint object was set. This method should only be used when auto-commit mode is disabled.
      Parameters:
      savepoint - the Savepoint to roll back to
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is a problem accessing the database.

    • setAutoCommit

      void setAutoCommit​(boolean autoCommit) throws SQLException
      Sets this connection's auto-commit mode on or off.

      Putting a Connection into auto-commit mode means that all associated SQL statements are run and committed as separate transactions. By contrast, setting auto-commit to off means that associated SQL statements get grouped into transactions that need to be completed by explicit calls to either the commit() or rollback() methods.

      Auto-commit is the default mode for new connection instances.

      When in this mode, commits will automatically occur upon successful SQL statement completion or upon successful completion of an execute. Statements are not considered successfully completed until all associated ResultSets and output parameters have been obtained or closed.

      Calling this operation during an uncommitted transaction will result in it being committed.

      Parameters:
      autoCommit - boolean indication of whether to put the target connection into auto-commit mode (true) or not ( false).
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is a problem accessing the database.

    • setCatalog

      void setCatalog​(String catalog) throws SQLException
      Sets the catalog name for this connection. This is used to select a subspace of the database for future work. If the driver does not support catalog names, this method is ignored.
      Parameters:
      catalog - the catalog name to use.
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is a problem accessing the database.

    • setHoldability

      void setHoldability​(int holdability) throws SQLException
