Interface 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, it is possible to iterate through it only once and only from the first row to the last row. New methods in the JDBC 2.0 API make it 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 `getXXX` methods 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 `getXXX` methods, a JDBC driver attempts to convert the underlying data to the Java type specified in the `XXX` part of the `getXXX` method and returns a suitable Java value. The JDBC specification has a table showing the allowable mappings from SQL types to Java types with the `ResultSet.getXXX` methods.

Column names used as input to `getXXX` methods are case insensitive. When a `getXXX` 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 `updateXXX` methods were added to this interface in the JDBC 2.0 API (JavaTM 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.2). The comments regarding parameters to the `getXXX` methods also apply to parameters to the `updateXXX` methods.

The `updateXXX` 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 row 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.

Method Detail

### next

    public boolean next()
                 throws SQLException

  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.

  Returns:
    `true` if the new current row is valid; `false` if there are no more rows
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### close

    public void close()
               throws SQLException

  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.

  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### wasNull

    public boolean wasNull()
                    throws SQLException

  Reports whether the last column read had a value of SQL `NULL`. Note that you must first call one of the `getXXX` methods on a column to try to read its value and then call the method `wasNull` to see if the value read was SQL `NULL`.
  Returns:
    `true` if the last column value read was SQL `NULL` and `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### getString

### getCursorName

    public String getCursorName()
                         throws SQLException

  Gets 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 the 'for update' clause 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.

  Returns:
    the SQL name for this `ResultSet` object's cursor
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

  This method will return the value of the given column as a Java object. The type of the Java object will be the default Java object type corresponding to the column's SQL type, following the mapping for built-in types specified in the JDBC specification.

  This method may also be used to read datatabase-specific abstract data types. In the JDBC 2.0 API, the behavior of method `getObject` is extended to materialize data of SQL user-defined types. When a column contains a structured or distinct value, the behavior of this method is as if it were a call to: `getObject(columnIndex, this.getStatement().getConnection().getTypeMap())`.

  Parameters:
    `columnIndex` - the first column is 1, the second is 2, ...

### absolute

    public boolean absolute(int row)
                     throws SQLException

  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()`.

  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor is on the result set; `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, the row is `0`, or the result set type is `TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY`

    1.2
  See Also:
    What Is in the JDBC 2.0 API

### relative

    public boolean relative(int rows)
                     throws SQLException

  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 different from calling the method `next()` because is makes sense to call `next()` when there is no current row, for example, when the cursor is positioned before the first row or after the last row of the result set.

  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor is on a row; `false` otherwise
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, there is no current row, or the result set type is `TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY`

### previous

    public boolean previous()
                     throws SQLException

  Moves the cursor to the previous row in this `ResultSet` object.

  Note: Calling the method `previous()` is not the same as calling the method `relative(-1)` because it makes sense to callprevious() when there is no current row.

  Returns:
    `true` if the cursor is on a valid row; `false` if it is off the result set
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the result set type is `TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY`
  Since:
    1.2

    public void setFetchSize(int rows)
                      throws SQLException

  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.
  Parameters:
    `rows` - the number of rows to fetch
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the condition `0 <= rows <= this.getMaxRows()` is not satisfied

### refreshRow

    public void refreshRow()
                    throws SQLException

  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 `updateXXX` 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.

  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or if this method is called when the cursor is on the insert row
  Since:
    1.2

If no updates have been made or `updateRow` has already been called, this method has no effect.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or if this method is called when the cursor is on the insert row

### moveToInsertRow

    public void moveToInsertRow()
                         throws SQLException

  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 `updateXXX` methods prior to inserting the row into the result set. Only the `updateXXX`, `getXXX`, 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 `updateXXX` method must be called before a `getXXX` method can be called on a column value.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the result set is not updatable
