Class jdbcStatement

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.hsqldb.jdbc.jdbcStatement
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.sql.Statement
Direct Known Subclasses:
jdbcPreparedStatement

public class jdbcStatement
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.sql.Statement

The object used for executing a static SQL statement and returning the results it produces.

By default, only one ResultSet object per Statement object can be open at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one ResultSet object is interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated by different Statement objects. All execution methods in the Statement interface implicitly close a statment's current ResultSet object if an open one exists.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

JRE 1.1.x Notes:

In general, JDBC 2 support requires Java 1.2 and above, and JDBC3 requires Java 1.4 and above. In HSQLDB, support for methods introduced in different versions of JDBC depends on the JDK version used for compiling and building HSQLDB.

Since 1.7.0, all JDBC 2 methods can be called while executing under the version 1.1.x Java Runtime EnvironmentTM. However, in addition to this technique requiring explicit casts to the org.hsqldb.jdbcXXX classes, some of these method calls require int values that are defined only in the JDBC 2 or greater version of the ResultSet interface. For this reason these values are defined in jdbcResultSet.

In a JRE 1.1.x environment, calling JDBC 2 methods that take or return the JDBC2-only ResultSet values can be achieved by referring to them in parameter specifications and return value comparisons, respectively, as follows:

 jdbcResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD
 jdbcResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
 jdbcResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
 jdbcResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
 //etc.
 

However, please note that code written to use HSQLDB JDBC 2 features under JDK 1.1.x will not be compatible for use with other JDBC 2 drivers. Please also note that this feature is offered solely as a convenience to developers who must work under JDK 1.1.x due to operating constraints, yet wish to use some of the more advanced features available under the JDBC 2 specification.

Method Detail

executeQuery

public java.sql.ResultSet executeQuery(java.lang.String sql)
                                throws java.sql.SQLException
Executes the given SQL statement, which returns a single ResultSet object.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

This method should not be used for statements other than SELECT queries.

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not throw an exception when the statement is a DDL statement or an UPDATE or DELETE statement. This will certainly change in future version.

Specified by:
executeQuery in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
sql - an SQL statement to be sent to the database, typically a static SQL SELECT statement
Returns:
a ResultSet object that contains the data produced by the given query; never null
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the given SQL statement produces anything other than a single ResultSet object

executeUpdate

public int executeUpdate(java.lang.String sql)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException
Executes the given SQL statement, which may be an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as an SQL DDL statement.

Specified by:
executeUpdate in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
sql - an SQL INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement or an SQL statement that returns nothing
Returns:
either the row count for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statements, or 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the given SQL statement produces a ResultSet object

close

public void close()
           throws java.sql.SQLException
Releases this Statement object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for this to happen when it is automatically closed. It is generally good practice to release resources as soon as you are finished with them to avoid tying up database resources.

Calling the method close on a Statement object that is already closed has no effect.

Note: A Statement object is automatically closed when it is garbage collected. When a Statement object is closed, its current ResultSet object, if one exists, is also closed.

Specified by:
close in interface java.sql.Statement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getMaxFieldSize

public int getMaxFieldSize()
                    throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, and LONGVARCHAR columns. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns zero, meaning there is no limit.

Specified by:
getMaxFieldSize in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the current column size limit for columns storing character and binary values; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setMaxFieldSize(int)

setMaxFieldSize

public void setMaxFieldSize(int max)
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes in a ResultSet column storing character or binary values to the given number of bytes. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, and LONGVARCHAR fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are simply ignored; HSQLDB always stores the full number of bytes when dealing with any of the field types mentioned above. These types all have an absolute maximum element upper bound determined by the Java array index limit java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE. For XXXBINARY types, this translates to Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes. For XXXCHAR types, this translates to 2 * Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes (2 bytes / character)

Specified by:
setMaxFieldSize in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
max - the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
See Also:
getMaxFieldSize()

getMaxRows

public int getMaxRows()
               throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the maximum number of rows that a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object can contain. If this limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

Specified by:
getMaxRows in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the current maximum number of rows for a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setMaxRows(int)

setMaxRows

public void setMaxRows(int max)
                throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any ResultSet object can contain to the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

Specified by:
setMaxRows in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
max - the new max rows limit; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
See Also:
getMaxRows()

setEscapeProcessing

public void setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable)
                         throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets escape processing on or off. If escape scanning is on (the default), the driver will do escape substitution before sending the SQL statement to the database. Note: Since prepared statements have usually been parsed prior to making this call, disabling escape processing for PreparedStatements objects will have no effect.

Specified by:
setEscapeProcessing in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
enable - true to enable escape processing; false to disable it
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getQueryTimeout

public int getQueryTimeout()
                    throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute. If the limit is exceeded, an SQLException is thrown.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns zero, meaning there is no limit.

Specified by:
getQueryTimeout in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the current query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setQueryTimeout(int)

setQueryTimeout

public void setQueryTimeout(int seconds)
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute to the given number of seconds. If the limit is exceeded, an SQLException is thrown.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are ignored; HSQLDB waits an unlimited amount of time for statement execution requests to return.

Specified by:
setQueryTimeout in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
seconds - the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied
See Also:
getQueryTimeout()

cancel

public void cancel()
            throws java.sql.SQLException
Cancels this Statement object if both the DBMS and driver support aborting an SQL statement. This method can be used by one thread to cancel a statement that is being executed by another thread.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not support aborting a SQL statement; calls to this method are ignored.

Specified by:
cancel in interface java.sql.Statement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getWarnings

public java.sql.SQLWarning getWarnings()
                                throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this Statement object. Subsequent Statement object warnings will be chained to this SQLWarning object.

The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a statement is (re)executed. This method may not be called on a closed Statement object; doing so will cause an SQLException to be thrown.

Note: If you are processing a ResultSet object, any warnings associated with reads on that ResultSet object will be chained on it rather than on the Statement object that produced it.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB never produces Statement warnings; this method always returns null.

Specified by:
getWarnings in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the first SQLWarning object or null if there are no warnings
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed statement

clearWarnings

public void clearWarnings()
                   throws java.sql.SQLException
Clears all the warnings reported on this Statement object. After a call to this method, the method getWarnings will return null until a new warning is reported for this Statement object.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including HSQLDB 1.7.2, SQLWarning objects are never produced for Statement Objects; calls to this method are ignored.

Specified by:
clearWarnings in interface java.sql.Statement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setCursorName

public void setCursorName(java.lang.String name)
                   throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the SQL cursor name to the given String, which will be used by subsequent Statement object execute methods. This name can then be used in SQL positioned update or delete statements to identify the current row in the ResultSet object generated by this statement. If the database does not support positioned update/delete, this method is a noop. To insure that a cursor has the proper isolation level to support updates, the cursor's SELECT statement should have the form SELECT FOR UPDATE. If FOR UPDATE is not present, positioned updates may fail.

Note: By definition, the execution of positioned updates and deletes must be done by a different Statement object than the one that generated the ResultSet object being used for positioning. Also, cursor names must be unique within a connection.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not support named cursors, updateable results or table locking via SELECT FOR UPDATE; calls to this method are ignored.

Specified by:
setCursorName in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
name - the new cursor name, which must be unique within a connection
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

execute

public boolean execute(java.lang.String sql)
                throws java.sql.SQLException
Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results. In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string.

The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s).

Specified by:
execute in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
sql - any SQL statement
Returns:
true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no results
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
getResultSet(), getUpdateCount(), getMoreResults()

getResultSet

public java.sql.ResultSet getResultSet()
                                throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the current result as a ResultSet object. This method should be called only once per result.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Without an interceding call to executeXXX, each invocation of this method will produce a new, initialized ResultSet instance referring to the current result, if any.

Specified by:
getResultSet in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the current result as a ResultSet object or null if the result is an update count or there are no more results
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
execute(java.lang.String)

getUpdateCount

public int getUpdateCount()
                   throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results, -1 is returned. This method should be called only once per result.

Specified by:
getUpdateCount in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
execute(java.lang.String)

getMoreResults

public boolean getMoreResults()
                       throws java.sql.SQLException
Moves to this Statement object's next result, returns true if it is a ResultSet object, and implicitly closes any current ResultSet object(s) obtained with the method getResultSet.

There are no more results when the following is true:

    (!getMoreResults() && (getUpdateCount() == -1)
 

Specified by:
getMoreResults in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
true if the next result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no more results
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
execute(java.lang.String)

setFetchDirection

public void setFetchDirection(int direction)
                       throws java.sql.SQLException
Gives the driver a hint as to the direction in which rows will be processed in ResultSet objects created using this Statement object. The default value is ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD.

Note that this method sets the default fetch direction for result sets generated by this Statement object. Each result set has its own methods for getting and setting its own fetch direction.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB supports only FETCH_FORWARD.

Setting any other value will throw an SQLException stating that the operation is not supported.

Specified by:
setFetchDirection in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
direction - the initial direction for processing rows
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the given direction is not one of ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD, ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE, or ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN

HSQLDB throws for all values except FETCH_FORWARD

Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
See Also:
getFetchDirection()

getFetchDirection

public int getFetchDirection()
                      throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the direction for fetching rows from database tables that is the default for result sets generated from this Statement object. If this Statement object has not set a fetch direction by calling the method setFetchDirection, the return value is implementation-specific.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns FETCH_FORWARD.

Specified by:
getFetchDirection in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the default fetch direction for result sets generated from this Statement object
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
See Also:
setFetchDirection(int)

setFetchSize

public void setFetchSize(int rows)
                  throws java.sql.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. The number of rows specified affects only result sets created using this statement. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored. The default value is zero.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are ignored; HSQLDB fetches each result completely as part of executing its statement.

Specified by:
setFetchSize in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
rows - the number of rows to fetch
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs, or the condition 0 <= rows <= this.getMaxRows() is not satisfied.

HSQLDB never throws an exception, since calls to this method are always ignored.

Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
See Also:
getFetchSize()

getFetchSize

public int getFetchSize()
                 throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the number of result set rows that is the default fetch size for ResultSet objects generated from this Statement object. If this Statement object has not set a fetch size by calling the method setFetchSize, the return value is implementation-specific.

HSQLDB-Specific Information

Including 1.7.2, this method always returns 0. HSQLDB fetches each result completely as part of executing its statement

Specified by:
getFetchSize in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
the default fetch size for result sets generated from this Statement object
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

getResultSetConcurrency

public int getResultSetConcurrency()
                            throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the result set concurrency for ResultSet objects generated by this Statement object.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB supports only CONCUR_READ_ONLY concurrency.

Specified by:
getResultSetConcurrency in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
either ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY or ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE (not supported)
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

getResultSetType

public int getResultSetType()
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
Retrieves the result set type for ResultSet objects generated by this Statement object.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

HSQLDB 1.7.0 and later versions support TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY and TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE.

Specified by:
getResultSetType in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
one of ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, or ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE (not supported)

Note: Up to and including 1.7.1, HSQLDB never returns TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

addBatch

public void addBatch(java.lang.String sql)
              throws java.sql.SQLException
Adds the given SQL command to the current list of commmands for this Statement object. The commands in this list can be executed as a batch by calling the method executeBatch.

NOTE: This method is optional.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Starting with 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

Specified by:
addBatch in interface java.sql.Statement
Parameters:
sql - typically this is a static SQL INSERT or UPDATE statement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs, or the driver does not support batch updates
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
See Also:
executeBatch()

clearBatch

public void clearBatch()
                throws java.sql.SQLException
Empties this Statement object's current list of SQL commands.

NOTE: This method is optional.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

Specified by:
clearBatch in interface java.sql.Statement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the driver does not support batch updates
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
See Also:
addBatch(java.lang.String)

executeBatch

public int[] executeBatch()
                   throws java.sql.SQLException
Submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The int elements of the array that is returned are ordered to correspond to the commands in the batch, which are ordered according to the order in which they were added to the batch. The elements in the array returned by the method executeBatch may be one of the following:
  1. A number greater than or equal to zero -- indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution
  2. A value of SUCCESS_NO_INFO -- indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown

    If one of the commands in a batch update fails to execute properly, this method throws a BatchUpdateException, and a JDBC driver may or may not continue to process the remaining commands in the batch. However, the driver's behavior must be consistent with a particular DBMS, either always continuing to process commands or never continuing to process commands. If the driver continues processing after a failure, the array returned by the method BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts will contain as many elements as there are commands in the batch, and at least one of the elements will be the following:

  3. A value of EXECUTE_FAILED -- indicates that the command failed to execute successfully and occurs only if a driver continues to process commands after a command fails

A driver is not required to implement this method. The possible implementations and return values have been modified in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 to accommodate the option of continuing to proccess commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException obejct has been thrown.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

HSQLDB stops execution of commands in a batch when one of the commands results in an exception. The size of the returned array equals the number of commands that were executed successfully.

When the product is built under the JAVA1 target, an exception is never thrown and it is the responsibility of the client software to check the size of the returned update count array to determine if any batch items failed. To build and run under the JAVA2 target, JDK/JRE 1.3 or higher must be used.

Specified by:
executeBatch in interface java.sql.Statement
Returns:
