public interfaceConnection
A connection (session) with a specific database. SQL statements are executed and results are returned within the context of a connection.
AConnection 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 thegetMetaData method.
Note: When configuring aConnection, JDBC applications should use the appropritateConnection method such assetAutoCommit orsetTransactionIsolation. Applications should not invoke SQL commands directly to change the connection's configuration when there is a JDBC method available. By default aConnection 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 methodcommit must be called explicitly in order to commit changes; otherwise, database changes will not be saved.
A newConnection 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 methodResultSet.getObject, thegetObject method will check the connection's type map to see if there is an entry for that UDT. If so, thegetObject 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 ajava.util.Map object, make an entry in it, and pass it to thejava.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 typeATHLETES will be mapped to the classAthletes in the Java programming language. The code fragment retrieves the type map for theConnection objectcon, inserts the entry into it, and then sets the type map with the new entry as the connection's type map.

Statement object for sending SQL statements to the database. SQL statements without parameters are normally executed usingStatement objects. If the same SQL statement is executed many times, it may be more efficient to use aPreparedStatement object. Result sets created using the returnedStatement object will by default be typeTYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and have a concurrency level ofCONCUR_READ_ONLY. The holdability of the created result sets can be determined by callinggetHoldability().
Statement objectSQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed connectionPreparedStatementprepareStatement(String sql) throwsSQLException
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 aPreparedStatement 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 methodprepareStatement 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 thePreparedStatement object is executed. This has no direct effect on users; however, it does affect which methods throw certainSQLException objects.
Result sets created using the returnedPreparedStatement object will by default be typeTYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and have a concurrency level ofCONCUR_READ_ONLY. The holdability of the created result sets can be determined by callinggetHoldability().

CallableStatement object for calling database stored procedures. TheCallableStatement object provides methods for setting up its IN and OUT parameters, and methods for executing the call to a stored procedure.Note: This method is optimized for handling stored procedure call statements. Some drivers may send the call statement to the database when the methodprepareCall is done; others may wait until theCallableStatement object is executed. This has no direct effect on users; however, it does affect which method throws certain SQLExceptions.
Result sets created using the returnedCallableStatement object will by default be typeTYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and have a concurrency level ofCONCUR_READ_ONLY. The holdability of the created result sets can be determined by callinggetHoldability().

commit or the methodrollback. 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:
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. IfsetAutoCommit is called and the auto-commit mode is not changed, the call is a no-op.

Connection object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for them to be automatically released. Calling the methodclose on aConnection object that is already closed is a no-op.
It isstrongly recommended that an application explicitly commits or rolls back an active transaction prior to calling theclose method. If theclose method is called and there is an active transaction, the results are implementation-defined.
SQLException - SQLException if a database access error occursbooleanisClosed() throwsSQLException
Connection object has been closed. A connection is closed if the methodclose has been called on it or if certain fatal errors have occurred. This method is guaranteed to returntrue only when it is called after the methodConnection.close has been called.This method generally cannot be called to determine whether a connection to a database is valid or invalid. A typical client can determine that a connection is invalid by catching any exceptions that might be thrown when an operation is attempted.

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 aSQLClientInfoException. If the driver generates aSQLClientInfoException, 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.
name - The name of the client info property to setvalue - The value to set the client info property to. If the value is null, the current value of the specified property is cleared.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 connectionvoidsetClientInfo(Properties properties) throwsSQLClientInfoException
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. SeesetClientInfo (String, String) for more information. If an error occurs in setting any of the client info properties, aSQLClientInfoException is thrown. TheSQLClientInfoException 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.

Applications may use theDatabaseMetaData.getClientInfoProperties method to determine the client info properties supported by the driver.

Note:WhencreateArrayOf is used to create an array object that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether theArray object is an array of that primitive data type or an array ofObject.
Note:The JDBC driver is responsible for mapping the elementsObject array to the default JDBC SQL type defined in java.sql.Types for the given class ofObject. The default mapping is specified in Appendix B of the JDBC specification. If the resulting JDBC type is not the appropriate type for the given typeName then it is implementation defined whether anSQLException is thrown or the driver supports the resulting conversion.
typeName - the SQL name of the type the elements of the array map to. The typeName is a database-specific name which may be the name of a built-in type, a user-defined type or a standard SQL type supported by this database. This is the value returned byArray.getBaseTypeNameelements - the elements that populate the returned objectSQLException - if a database error occurs, the JDBC type is not appropriate for the typeName and the conversion is not supported, the typeName is null or this method is called on a closed connectionSQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this data typeStructcreateStruct(String typeName,Object[] attributes) throwsSQLException
typeName - the SQL type name of the SQL structured type that thisStruct object maps to. The typeName is the name of a user-defined type that has been defined for this database. It is the value returned byStruct.getSQLTypeName.attributes - the attributes that populate the returned objectSQLException - if a database error occurs, the typeName is null or this method is called on a closed connectionSQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this data type| Java™ Platform Standard Ed. 6 | ||||||||||
