How to Use Updatable ResultSet in JDBC?

--
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. An updatable result set allows modification to data in a table through the result set. The following code makes a result set that is scrollable and insensitive to updates by others:
try {
        // Create a statement that will return updatable result sets
        Statement stmt = connection.createStatement(
                    ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, 
                    ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
    
        //Primary key EmployeeID must be specified 
        //so that the result set is updatable
        ResultSet resultSet = stmt.executeQuery(
                    "SELECT EmployeeID, Name, Office FROM employees");
    } catch (SQLException e) {
    }
The updatable result set may be used few ways:

  • 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 Office 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("Office", "HQ222"); // updates the 
           // Office column of row 5 to be HQ222
           rs.updateRow(); // updates the row in the data source
  • 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.updateInt("EmployeeID", 1001);
           rs.updateString("Name", "Divad Walker");
           rs.updateString("Office", "HQ101"); 
           rs.insertRow();
           rs.moveToCurrentRow();
  • to delete a row. The following code fragment moves to the first row of the ResultSet object rs and then uses the method deleteRow to delete the data source table from which rs was derived.
    rs.first(); // moves cursor to the deleting row
           rs.deleteRow();
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.
cancelRowUpdates 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.

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony?

WebSphere MQ Series Tutorial

MQ Series : - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other. It is an EAI tool (Middle ware) VERSIONS :-5.0, 5.1, 5.3, 6.0, 7.0(new version). The currently using version is 6.2 Note : - MQ series supports more than 35+ operating systems. It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\IBM\Eclipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have QUEUES CHANNELS PROCESS AUTHENTICATION QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects : - objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maint...
