How do I get JDBC driver property information?

By Wayan in JDBC 0 Comment

The example below shows you how to get the information about the possible properties for the corresponding JDBC driver.

package org.kodejava.jdbc;

import java.sql.*;

public class DriverPropertyInfoDemo {
    private static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/kodejava";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Gets information about the possible properties for this
            // driver.
            Driver driver = DriverManager.getDriver(URL);
            DriverPropertyInfo[] props = driver.getPropertyInfo(URL, null);

            for (DriverPropertyInfo info : props) {
                System.out.println("Name       : " + info.name);
                System.out.println("Description: " + info.description);
                System.out.println("Value      : " + info.value);
                System.out.println("-----------------------------------");

                String[] choices = info.choices;
                if (choices != null) {
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("Choices    : ");
                    for (String choice : choices) {
                        sb.append(choice).append(",");
                    }

                    System.out.println(sb);
                }
            }

        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The example result of the code snippet above:

Name       : host
Description: Hostname of MySQL Server
Value      : localhost
-----------------------------------
Name       : port
Description: Port number of MySQL Server
Value      : 3306
-----------------------------------
Name       : dbname
Description: Database name;
Value      : kodejava
-----------------------------------
Name       : user
Description: Username to authenticate as
Value      : null
-----------------------------------

Description: Password to use for authentication
Value      : null
-----------------------------------
Name       : clientCertificateKeyStorePassword
Description: Password for the client certificates key store.
Value      : null
-----------------------------------
Name       : serverRSAPublicKeyFile
Description: File path to the server RSA public key file for sha256_password authentication. If not specified, the public key will be retrieved from the server.
Value      : null
-----------------------------------
Name       : cacheDefaultTimeZone
Description: Caches clients default time zone. This results in better performance when dealing with time zone conversions in Date and Time data types, however it wont be aware of time zone changes if they happen at runtime.
Value      : true
-----------------------------------
Choices    : TRUE,FALSE,YES,NO,
...

How do I get JDBC driver information?

By Wayan in JDBC 0 Comment

JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity. It is an API (Application Programming Interface) in Java that allows Java applications to interact with databases. JDBC provides a set of interfaces and classes for connecting to a database, executing SQL queries, and retrieving results.

It is part of the Java Standard Edition platform and is designed to be database-independent, enabling Java developers to write database code that can work with different database management systems (DBMS) without significant changes.

Key features of JDBC include:

  1. Connection Management: Establishing and managing a connection to a database.
  2. Statement Execution: Executing SQL queries and updates using various types of statements.
  3. Result Set Handling: Retrieving and processing the results of queries.
  4. Transaction Management: Managing transactions to ensure data integrity.
  5. Metadata Access: Retrieving metadata about the database and its structure.

Here is the code snippet to get the basic information about JDBC driver such as the driver name and the version.

package org.kodejava.jdbc;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class JDBCDriverInfo {
    private static final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/kodejava";
    private static final String USERNAME = "kodejava";
    private static final String PASSWORD = "s3cr*t";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (Connection conn =
                     DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD)) {

            DatabaseMetaData metadata = conn.getMetaData();
            String driverName = metadata.getDriverName();
            String driverVersion = metadata.getDriverVersion();
            int majorVersion = metadata.getDriverMajorVersion();
            int minorVersion = metadata.getDriverMinorVersion();

            System.out.println("Driver Name    = " + driverName);
            System.out.println("Driver Version = " + driverVersion);
            System.out.println("Major Version  = " + majorVersion);
            System.out.println("Minor Version  = " + minorVersion);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The result of our program:

Driver Name    = MySQL Connector/J
Driver Version = mysql-connector-j-8.4.0 (Revision: 1c3f5c149e0bfe31c7fbeb24e2d260cd890972c4)
Major Version  = 8
Minor Version  = 4
