The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −

● Import the packages: Requires that you include the packages containing the
JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import
java.sql.* will suffice.
● Register the JDBC driver: Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a
communications channel with the database.
● Open a connection: Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method
to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with the
database server.
To create a new database, you need not give any database name while
preparing database URL as mentioned in the below example.
● Execute a query: Requires using an object of type Statement for building and
submitting an SQL statement to the database.
● Clean up the environment . Requires explicitly closing all database resources
versus relying on the JVM's garbage collection.

Sample Code
Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place −
● You should have admin privilege to create a database in the given schema. To
execute the following example, you need to replace the username and password
with your actual user name and password.
● Your MySQL or whatever database you are using, is up and running.

Copy and past the following example in JDBCExample.java, compile and run as
follows −
//STEP 1. Import required packages
import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCExample {

// JDBC driver name and database URL
static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/";

// Database credentials
static final String USER = "username";
static final String PASS = "password";

public static void main(String[] args) {

 Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try{
//STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

//STEP 3: Open a connection

System.out.println("Connecting to database...");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);

//STEP 4: Execute a query

System.out.println("Creating database...");
stmt = conn.createStatement();

String sql = "CREATE DATABASE STUDENTS";

stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
System.out.println("Database created successfully...");
}catch(SQLException se){
//Handle errors for JDBC
se.printStackTrace();
}catch(Exception e){
//Handle errors for Class.forName
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
//finally block used to close resources
try{
if(stmt!=null)
stmt.close();
}catch(SQLException se2){
}// nothing we can do
try{
if(conn!=null)
conn.close();
}catch(SQLException se){
se.printStackTrace();
}//end finally try
}//end try
System.out.println("Goodbye!");
}//end main
}//end JDBCExample
Now, let us compile the above example as follows −
C:\>javac JDBCExample.java
C:\>
When you run JDBCExample, it produces the following result −
C:\>java JDBCExample
Connecting to database...
Creating database...

The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −
● Import the packages: Requires that you include the packages containing the

● Register the JDBC driver: Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a
communications channel with the database.
● Open a connection: Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method
to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a
selected database.
Selection of database is made while you prepare database URL. Following
example would make connection with STUDENTS database.
● Clean up the environment: Requires explicitly closing all the database resources
versus relying on the JVM's garbage collection.

Sample Code
Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place −
● To execute the following example you need to replace the username and
password with your actual user name and password.
● Your MySQL or whatever database you are using, is up and running.

Copy and past the following example in JDBCExample.java, compile and run as

Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in place −
● To execute the following example you need to replace the username and
password with your actual user name and password.
● Your MySQL or whatever database you are using is up and running.
NOTE: This is a serious operation and you have to make a firm decision before
proceeding to delete a database because everything you have in your database would
be lost.

Required Steps
The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −
● Import the packages: Requires that you include the packages containing the
JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import
java.sql.* will suffice.
● Register the JDBC driver: Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a
communications channel with the database.
● Open a connection: Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method
to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a
database server.
Deleting a database does not require database name to be in your database
URL. Following example would delete STUDENTS database.
● Execute a query: Requires using an object of type Statement for building and
submitting an SQL statement to delete the database.
● Clean up the environment: Requires explicitly closing all database resources
versus relying on the JVM's garbage collection.

versus relying on the JVM's garbage collection.

Sample Code
Copy and paste the following example in JDBCExample.java, compile and run as
follows −
//STEP 1. Import required packages
import java.sql.*;

public class JDBCExample {

// JDBC driver name and database URL
static final String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/STUDENTS";

// Database credentials
static final String USER = "username";
static final String PASS = "password";

public static void main(String[] args) {

Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try{
//STEP 2: Register JDBC driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

//STEP 3: Open a connection

System.out.println("Connecting to a selected database...");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
System.out.println("Connected database successfully...");

//STEP 4: Execute a query

System.out.println("Creating statement...");
stmt = conn.createStatement();

// Extract records without any condition.

System.out.println("Fetching records without condition...");
String sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

while(rs.next()){
//Retrieve by column name
int id = rs.getInt("id");
int age = rs.getInt("age");

//Display values
System.out.print("ID: " + id);
System.out.print(", Age: " + age);
System.out.print(", First: " + first);
System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
}

// Select all records having ID equal or greater than 101

System.out.println("Fetching records with condition...");
sql = "SELECT id, first, last, age FROM Registration" +
" WHERE id >= 101 ";
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

//Retrieve by column name

System.out.println(", Last: " + last);
}
rs.close();
}catch(SQLException se){
//Handle errors for JDBC
se.printStackTrace();

Now, let us compile the above example as follows −
C:\>javac JDBCExample.java
C:\>
When you run JDBCExample, it produces the following result −
C:\>java JDBCExample

This would add additional conditions using LIKE clause while selecting records from
the table. Before executing the following example, make sure you have the following in
place −
● To execute the following example you can replace the username and password
with your actual user name and password.
● Your MySQL or whatever database you are using, is up and running.

Required Steps
The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −
● Import the packages: Requires that you include the packages containing the
JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import
java.sql.* will suffice.
● Register the JDBC driver: Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a
communications channel with the database.
● Open a connection: Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method
to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a
database server.
● Execute a query: Requires using an object of type Statement for building and
submitting an SQL statement to fetch records from a table which meet given
condition. This Query makes use of LIKE clause to select records to select all the
students whose first name starts with "za".
● Clean up the environment: Requires explicitly closing all database resources
versus relying on the JVM's garbage collection.

This would use asc and desc keywords to sort records in ascending or descending
