One thing that we need to do manually when programming using JDBC is to make sure to close all the resources that we use. All resources including the ResultSet, Statement and Connection must be closed. This usually will produce a lot of boiler plate code in our program.
Starting from JDBC 4.1 which is a part of Java 7 we can use the try-with-resources statement to automatically manage the resources that we use. This try statement closes the resources used when the block finishes its execution either normally or abruptly.
Here is an example that show us how to use the try-with-resources statement.
package org.kodejava.example.sql;
import java.sql.*;
public class TryWithResourceJdbc {
public static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/sampledb";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
TryWithResourceJdbc demo = new TryWithResourceJdbc();
demo.selectData();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/**
* Select data from m_users table.
* @throws SQLException when an exception happens.
*/
private void selectData() throws SQLException {
try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, "root", "");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM m_users")) {
while (rs.next()) {
String username = rs.getString("username");
String password = rs.getString("password");
System.out.println("username: " + username + "; password: " + password);
}
}
}
}
