ResultSet

public interface ResultSet
A table of data representing a database result set, which is usually generated by executing a statement that queries the database.

A ResultSet object maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row. The next method moves the cursor to the next row, and because it returns false when there are no more rows in the ResultSet object, it can be used in a while loop to iterate through the result set.

A default ResultSet object is not updatable and has a cursor that moves forward only. Thus, you can iterate through it only once and only from the first row to the last row. It is possible to produce ResultSet objects that are scrollable and/or updatable. The following code fragment, in which con is a valid Connection object, illustrates how to make a result set that is scrollable and insensitive to updates by others, and that is updatable. See ResultSet fields for other options.


Statement stmt = con.createStatement(
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b FROM TABLE2");
// rs will be scrollable, will not show changes made by others,
// and will be updatable

The ResultSet interface provides getter methods (getBoolean, getLong, and so on) for retrieving column values from the current row. Values can be retrieved using either the index number of the column or the name of the column. In general, using the column index will be more efficient. Columns are numbered from 1. For maximum portability, result set columns within each row should be read in left-to-right order, and each column should be read only once.

For the getter methods, a JDBC driver attempts to convert the underlying data to the Java type specified in the getter method and returns a suitable Java value. The JDBC specification has a table showing the allowable mappings from SQL types to Java types that can be used by the ResultSet getter methods.

Column names used as input to getter methods are case insensitive. When a getter method is called with a column name and several columns have the same name, the value of the first matching column will be returned. The column name option is designed to be used when column names are used in the SQL query that generated the result set. For columns that are NOT explicitly named in the query, it is best to use column numbers. If column names are used, there is no way for the programmer to guarantee that they actually refer to the intended columns.

A set of updater methods were added to this interface in the JDBC 2.0 API (JDK 1.2). The comments regarding parameters to the getter methods also apply to parameters to the updater methods.

The updater methods may be used in two ways:

  1. to update a column value in the current row. In a scrollable ResultSet object, the cursor can be moved backwards and forwards, to an absolute position, or to a position relative to the current row. The following code fragment updates the NAME column in the fifth row of the ResultSet object rs and then uses the method updateRow to update the data source table from which rs was derived.
    
    rs.absolute(5); // moves the cursor to the fifth row of rs
    rs.updateString("NAME", "AINSWORTH"); // updates the
    // NAME column of row 5 to be AINSWORTH
    rs.updateRow(); // updates the row in the data source
    
    
  2. to insert column values into the insert row. An updatable ResultSet object has a special row associated with it that serves as a staging area for building a row to be inserted. The following code fragment moves the cursor to the insert row, builds a three-column row, and inserts it into rs and into the data source table using the method insertRow.
    
    rs.moveToInsertRow(); // moves cursor to the insert row
    rs.updateString(1, "AINSWORTH"); // updates the
    // first column of the insert row to be AINSWORTH
    rs.updateInt(2,35); // updates the second column to be 35
    rs.updateBoolean(3, true); // updates the third column to true
    rs.insertRow();
    rs.moveToCurrentRow();
    
    

A ResultSet object is automatically closed when the Statement object that generated it is closed, re-executed, or used to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results.

The number, types and properties of a ResultSet object's columns are provided by the ResulSetMetaData object returned by the ResultSet.getMetaData method.

Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public booleanabsolute(int row)
Moves the cursor to the given row number in this ResultSet object.

If the row number is positive, the cursor moves to the given row number with respect to the beginning of the result set. The first row is row 1, the second is row 2, and so on.

If the given row number is negative, the cursor moves to an absolute row position with respect to the end of the result set. For example, calling the method absolute(-1) positions the cursor on the last row; calling the method absolute(-2) moves the cursor to the next-to-last row, and so on.

An attempt to position the cursor beyond the first/last row in the result set leaves the cursor before the first row or after the last row.

Note: Calling absolute(1) is the same as calling first(). Calling absolute(-1) is the same as calling last().

param
row the number of the row to which the cursor should move. A positive number indicates the row number counting from the beginning of the result set; a negative number indicates the row number counting from the end of the result set
return
true if the cursor is on the result set; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs, or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public voidafterLast()
Moves the cursor to the end of this ResultSet object, just after the last row. This method has no effect if the result set contains no rows.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public voidbeforeFirst()
Moves the cursor to the front of this ResultSet object, just before the first row. This method has no effect if the result set contains no rows.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public voidcancelRowUpdates()
Cancels the updates made to the current row in this ResultSet object. This method may be called after calling an updater method(s) and before calling the method updateRow to roll back the updates made to a row. If no updates have been made or updateRow has already been called, this method has no effect.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or if this method is called when the cursor is on the insert row
since
1.2

public voidclearWarnings()
Clears all warnings reported on this ResultSet object. After this method is called, the method getWarnings returns null until a new warning is reported for this ResultSet object.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs

public voidclose()
Releases this ResultSet object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for this to happen when it is automatically closed.

Note: A ResultSet object is automatically closed by the Statement object that generated it when that Statement object is closed, re-executed, or is used to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results. A ResultSet object is also automatically closed when it is garbage collected.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs

public voiddeleteRow()
Deletes the current row from this ResultSet object and from the underlying database. This method cannot be called when the cursor is on the insert row.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or if this method is called when the cursor is on the insert row
since
1.2

public java.lang.StringgetCursorName()
Retrieves the name of the SQL cursor used by this ResultSet object.

In SQL, a result table is retrieved through a cursor that is named. The current row of a result set can be updated or deleted using a positioned update/delete statement that references the cursor name. To insure that the cursor has the proper isolation level to support update, the cursor's SELECT statement should be of the form SELECT FOR UPDATE. If FOR UPDATE is omitted, the positioned updates may fail.

The JDBC API supports this SQL feature by providing the name of the SQL cursor used by a ResultSet object. The current row of a ResultSet object is also the current row of this SQL cursor.

Note: If positioned update is not supported, a SQLException is thrown.

public java.io.InputStreamgetUnicodeStream(int columnIndex)
Retrieves the value of the designated column in the current row of this ResultSet object as as a stream of two-byte Unicode characters. The first byte is the high byte; the second byte is the low byte. The value can then be read in chunks from the stream. This method is particularly suitable for retrieving large LONGVARCHARvalues. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from the database format into Unicode.

Note: All the data in the returned stream must be read prior to getting the value of any other column. The next call to a getter method implicitly closes the stream. Also, a stream may return 0 when the method InputStream.available is called, whether there is data available or not.

param
columnIndex the first column is 1, the second is 2, ...
return
a Java input stream that delivers the database column value as a stream of two-byte Unicode characters; if the value is SQL NULL, the value returned is null

public java.io.InputStreamgetUnicodeStream(java.lang.String columnName)
Retrieves the value of the designated column in the current row of this ResultSet object as a stream of two-byte Unicode characters. The first byte is the high byte; the second byte is the low byte. The value can then be read in chunks from the stream. This method is particularly suitable for retrieving large LONGVARCHAR values. The JDBC technology-enabled driver will do any necessary conversion from the database format into Unicode.

Note: All the data in the returned stream must be read prior to getting the value of any other column. The next call to a getter method implicitly closes the stream. Also, a stream may return 0 when the method InputStream.available is called, whether there is data available or not.

param
columnName the SQL name of the column
return
a Java input stream that delivers the database column value as a stream of two-byte Unicode characters. If the value is SQL NULL, the value returned is null.
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
deprecated
use getCharacterStream instead

public java.sql.SQLWarninggetWarnings()
Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this ResultSet object. Subsequent warnings on this ResultSet object will be chained to the SQLWarning object that this method returns.

The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a new row is read. This method may not be called on a ResultSet object that has been closed; doing so will cause an SQLException to be thrown.

Note: This warning chain only covers warnings caused by ResultSet methods. Any warning caused by Statement methods (such as reading OUT parameters) will be chained on the Statement object.

return
the first SQLWarning object reported or null if there are none
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed result set

public voidinsertRow()
Inserts the contents of the insert row into this ResultSet object and into the database. The cursor must be on the insert row when this method is called.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs, if this method is called when the cursor is not on the insert row, or if not all of non-nullable columns in the insert row have been given a value
since
1.2

public booleanisAfterLast()
Retrieves whether the cursor is after the last row in this ResultSet object.

return
true if the cursor is after the last row; false if the cursor is at any other position or the result set contains no rows
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
since
1.2

public booleanisBeforeFirst()
Retrieves whether the cursor is before the first row in this ResultSet object.

return
true if the cursor is before the first row; false if the cursor is at any other position or the result set contains no rows
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
since
1.2

public booleanisFirst()
Retrieves whether the cursor is on the first row of this ResultSet object.

return
true if the cursor is on the first row; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
since
1.2

public booleanisLast()
Retrieves whether the cursor is on the last row of this ResultSet object. Note: Calling the method isLast may be expensive because the JDBC driver might need to fetch ahead one row in order to determine whether the current row is the last row in the result set.

return
true if the cursor is on the last row; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
since
1.2

public booleanlast()
Moves the cursor to the last row in this ResultSet object.

return
true if the cursor is on a valid row; false if there are no rows in the result set
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public voidmoveToCurrentRow()
Moves the cursor to the remembered cursor position, usually the current row. This method has no effect if the cursor is not on the insert row.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set is not updatable
since
1.2

public voidmoveToInsertRow()
Moves the cursor to the insert row. The current cursor position is remembered while the cursor is positioned on the insert row. The insert row is a special row associated with an updatable result set. It is essentially a buffer where a new row may be constructed by calling the updater methods prior to inserting the row into the result set. Only the updater, getter, and insertRow methods may be called when the cursor is on the insert row. All of the columns in a result set must be given a value each time this method is called before calling insertRow. An updater method must be called before a getter method can be called on a column value.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set is not updatable
since
1.2

public booleannext()
Moves the cursor down one row from its current position. A ResultSet cursor is initially positioned before the first row; the first call to the method next makes the first row the current row; the second call makes the second row the current row, and so on.

If an input stream is open for the current row, a call to the method next will implicitly close it. A ResultSet object's warning chain is cleared when a new row is read.

return
true if the new current row is valid; false if there are no more rows
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs

public booleanprevious()
Moves the cursor to the previous row in this ResultSet object.

return
true if the cursor is on a valid row; false if it is off the result set
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public voidrefreshRow()
Refreshes the current row with its most recent value in the database. This method cannot be called when the cursor is on the insert row.

The refreshRow method provides a way for an application to explicitly tell the JDBC driver to refetch a row(s) from the database. An application may want to call refreshRow when caching or prefetching is being done by the JDBC driver to fetch the latest value of a row from the database. The JDBC driver may actually refresh multiple rows at once if the fetch size is greater than one.

All values are refetched subject to the transaction isolation level and cursor sensitivity. If refreshRow is called after calling an updater method, but before calling the method updateRow, then the updates made to the row are lost. Calling the method refreshRow frequently will likely slow performance.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or if this method is called when the cursor is on the insert row
since
1.2

public booleanrelative(int rows)
Moves the cursor a relative number of rows, either positive or negative. Attempting to move beyond the first/last row in the result set positions the cursor before/after the the first/last row. Calling relative(0) is valid, but does not change the cursor position.

Note: Calling the method relative(1) is identical to calling the method next() and calling the method relative(-1) is identical to calling the method previous().

param
rows an int specifying the number of rows to move from the current row; a positive number moves the cursor forward; a negative number moves the cursor backward
return
true if the cursor is on a row; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs, there is no current row, or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
since
1.2

public booleanrowDeleted()
Retrieves whether a row has been deleted. A deleted row may leave a visible "hole" in a result set. This method can be used to detect holes in a result set. The value returned depends on whether or not this ResultSet object can detect deletions.

return
true if a row was deleted and deletions are detected; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
see
DatabaseMetaData#deletesAreDetected
since
1.2

public booleanrowInserted()
Retrieves whether the current row has had an insertion. The value returned depends on whether or not this ResultSet object can detect visible inserts.

return
true if a row has had an insertion and insertions are detected; false otherwise
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
see
DatabaseMetaData#insertsAreDetected
since
1.2

public booleanrowUpdated()
Retrieves whether the current row has been updated. The value returned depends on whether or not the result set can detect updates.

return
true if both (1) the row has been visibly updated by the owner or another and (2) updates are detected
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs
see
DatabaseMetaData#updatesAreDetected
since
1.2

public voidsetFetchDirection(int direction)
Gives a hint as to the direction in which the rows in this ResultSet object will be processed. The initial value is determined by the Statement object that produced this ResultSet object. The fetch direction may be changed at any time.

param
direction an int specifying the suggested fetch direction; one of ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD, ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE, or ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the result set type is TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and the fetch direction is not FETCH_FORWARD
since
1.2
see
Statement#setFetchDirection
see
#getFetchDirection

public voidsetFetchSize(int rows)
Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for this ResultSet object. If the fetch size specified is zero, the JDBC driver ignores the value and is free to make its own best guess as to what the fetch size should be. The default value is set by the Statement object that created the result set. The fetch size may be changed at any time.

param
rows the number of rows to fetch
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or the condition 0 <= rows <= Statement.getMaxRows() is not satisfied
since
1.2
see
#getFetchSize
