∟Java DB (Derby) - ResultSet Objects of Queries

∟Retrieving Column Values with getXXX() Methods

This section describes how to use getXXX() methods to retrieve column values from ResultSet objects.

Once you have moved the cursor to a data row in a ResultSet object, you can use one of the getXXX() methods to retrieve the value of a given column. All getXXX() methods support two types of parameters to specify a column:

JDBC supports many getXXX() methods, one for each Java data type, so that you can retrieve column values right into the desired Java data types without any further conversion. Here is a list of getXXX() methods:

The following sample Java program shows you how to use different getXXX() methods to retrieve column values in different data types:

import java.sql.*;
public class DerbyGetMethods {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      con = DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:derby://localhost/TestDB");
      Statement sta = con.createStatement(); 

// getting the data back
      ResultSet res = sta.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Profile");
      System.out.println("List of Profiles: "); 
      while (res.next()) {
         int id = res.getInt("ID");
         String firstName = res.getString("FirstName");
         String lastName = res.getString("LastName");
         float points = res.getFloat("Point");
         Date birthDate = res.getDate("BirthDate");
         Timestamp modTime = res.getTimestamp("ModTime");
         System.out.println(
           "  "+id
           + ", "+firstName
           + ", "+lastName
           + ", "+points
           + ", "+birthDate
           + ", "+modTime);
      }
      res.close();

      sta.close();
      con.close();        
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

Here is the output:
