Interface JdbcOperations

All Known Implementing Classes:
  JdbcTemplate

    public interface JdbcOperations

Interface specifying a basic set of JDBC operations. Implemented by `JdbcTemplate`. Not often used directly, but a useful option to enhance testability, as it can easily be mocked or stubbed.

Alternatively, the standard JDBC infrastructure can be mocked. However, mocking this interface constitutes significantly less work. As an alternative to a mock objects approach to testing data access code, consider the powerful integration testing support provided in the `org.springframework.test` package, shipped in `spring-test.jar`.

Method Detail

### execute

    <T> T execute(ConnectionCallback<T> action)
              throws DataAccessException

  Execute a JDBC data access operation, implemented as callback action working on a JDBC Connection. This allows for implementing arbitrary data access operations, within Spring's managed JDBC environment: that is, participating in Spring-managed transactions and converting JDBC SQLExceptions into Spring's DataAccessException hierarchy.

  The callback action can return a result object, for example a domain object or a collection of domain objects.

  Parameters:
    `action` - the callback object that specifies the action
  Returns:
    a result object returned by the action, or `null`
  Throws:

  Parameters:
    `sql` - SQL query to execute
  Returns:
    an List that contains a Map per row
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem executing the query

                             throws DataAccessException

  Execute a query for a SqlRowSet, given static SQL.

  Uses a JDBC Statement, not a PreparedStatement. If you want to execute a static query with a PreparedStatement, use the overloaded `queryForRowSet` method with `null` as argument array.

  The results will be mapped to an SqlRowSet which holds the data in a disconnected fashion. This wrapper will translate any SQLExceptions thrown.

  Note that that, for the default implementation, JDBC RowSet support needs to be available at runtime: by default, Sun's `com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl` class is used, which is part of JDK 1.5+ and also available separately as part of Sun's JDBC RowSet Implementations download (rowset.jar).

                                          throws DataAccessException

  Query given SQL to create a prepared statement from SQL and a list of arguments to bind to the query, expecting a result list.

  The results will be mapped to a List (one entry for each row) of Maps (one entry for each column, using the column name as the key). Thus Each element in the list will be of the form returned by this interface's queryForMap() methods.

  Parameters:
    `sql` - SQL query to execute
    `args` - arguments to bind to the query
    `argTypes` - SQL types of the arguments (constants from `java.sql.Types`)
  Returns:
    a List that contains a Map per row
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if the query fails
  See Also:
    `queryForList(String)`, `Types`

  Query given SQL to create a prepared statement from SQL and a list of arguments to bind to the query, expecting a result list.

  The results will be mapped to a List (one entry for each row) of Maps (one entry for each column, using the column name as the key). Each element in the list will be of the form returned by this interface's queryForMap() methods.

  Parameters:
    `sql` - SQL query to execute
    `args` - arguments to bind to the query (leaving it to the PreparedStatement to guess the corresponding SQL type); may also contain `SqlParameterValue` objects which indicate not only the argument value but also the SQL type and optionally the scale

  Query given SQL to create a prepared statement from SQL and a list of arguments to bind to the query, expecting a SqlRowSet.

  The results will be mapped to an SqlRowSet which holds the data in a disconnected fashion. This wrapper will translate any SQLExceptions thrown.

    `sql` - SQL query to execute
    `args` - arguments to bind to the query
    `argTypes` - SQL types of the arguments (constants from `java.sql.Types`)
  Returns:
    a SqlRowSet representation (possibly a wrapper around a `javax.sql.rowset.CachedRowSet`)
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem executing the query

### update

    int update(PreparedStatementCreator psc)
               throws DataAccessException

  Issue a single SQL update operation (such as an insert, update or delete statement) using a PreparedStatementCreator to provide SQL and any required parameters.

  A PreparedStatementCreator can either be implemented directly or configured through a PreparedStatementCreatorFactory.

  Parameters:
    `psc` - object that provides SQL and any necessary parameters
  Returns:
    the number of rows affected
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem issuing the update
  See Also:
    `PreparedStatementCreatorFactory`

### update

    int update(PreparedStatementCreator psc,
               KeyHolder generatedKeyHolder)
               throws DataAccessException

  Issue an update statement using a PreparedStatementCreator to provide SQL and any required parameters. Generated keys will be put into the given KeyHolder.

  Note that the given PreparedStatementCreator has to create a statement with activated extraction of generated keys (a JDBC 3.0 feature). This can either be done directly or through using a PreparedStatementCreatorFactory.

  Parameters:
    `psc` - object that provides SQL and any necessary parameters
    `generatedKeyHolder` - KeyHolder that will hold the generated keys
  Returns:
    the number of rows affected
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem issuing the update

  Parameters:
    `sql` - SQL containing bind parameters
    `pss` - helper that sets bind parameters. If this is `null` we run an update with static SQL.
  Returns:
    the number of rows affected
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem issuing the update

  Returns:
    the number of rows affected
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem issuing the update

This allows for implementing arbitrary data access operations on a single Statement, within Spring's managed JDBC environment: that is, participating in Spring-managed transactions and converting JDBC SQLExceptions into Spring's DataAccessException hierarchy.

  The callback action can return a result object, for example a domain object or a collection of domain objects.

  Parameters:
    `csc` - object that can create a CallableStatement given a Connection
    `action` - callback object that specifies the action
  Returns:
    a result object returned by the action, or `null`
  Throws:
    `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem

  The callback action can return a result object, for example a domain object or a collection of domain objects.

  Parameters:
    `callString` - the SQL call string to execute
