Interface RowSet

All Superinterfaces:
ResultSet, Wrapper
All Known Subinterfaces:
CachedRowSet, FilteredRowSet, JdbcRowSet, JoinRowSet, SyncResolver, WebRowSet

public interface RowSet
extends ResultSet

The interface that adds support to the JDBC API for the JavaBeansTM component model. A rowset, which can be used as a JavaBeans component in a visual Bean development environment, can be created and configured at design time and executed at run time.

The RowSet interface provides a set of JavaBeans properties that allow a RowSet instance to be configured to connect to a JDBC data source and read some data from the data source. A group of setter methods (setInt, setBytes, setString, and so on) provide a way to pass input parameters to a rowset's command property. This command is the SQL query the rowset uses when it gets its data from a relational database, which is generally the case.

The RowSet interface supports JavaBeans events, allowing other components in an application to be notified when an event occurs on a rowset, such as a change in its value.

The RowSet interface is unique in that it is intended to be implemented using the rest of the JDBC API. In other words, a RowSet implementation is a layer of software that executes "on top" of a JDBC driver. Implementations of the RowSet interface can be provided by anyone, including JDBC driver vendors who want to provide a RowSet implementation as part of their JDBC products.

A RowSet object may make a connection with a data source and maintain that connection throughout its life cycle, in which case it is called a connected rowset. A rowset may also make a connection with a data source, get data from it, and then close the connection. Such a rowset is called a disconnected rowset. A disconnected rowset may make changes to its data while it is disconnected and then send the changes back to the original source of the data, but it must reestablish a connection to do so.

A disconnected rowset may have a reader (a RowSetReader object) and a writer (a RowSetWriter object) associated with it. The reader may be implemented in many different ways to populate a rowset with data, including getting data from a non-relational data source. The writer can also be implemented in many different ways to propagate changes made to the rowset's data back to the underlying data source.

Rowsets are easy to use. The RowSet interface extends the standard java.sql.ResultSet interface. The RowSetMetaData interface extends the java.sql.ResultSetMetaData interface. Thus, developers familiar with the JDBC API will have to learn a minimal number of new APIs to use rowsets. In addition, third-party software tools that work with JDBC ResultSet objects will also easily be made to work with rowsets.

setType

void setType(int type)

Sets the type of this RowSet object to the given type. This method is used to change the type of a rowset, which is by default read-only and non-scrollable.

Parameters:
type - one of the ResultSet constants specifying a type: ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, or ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
ResultSet.getType()

setConcurrency

void setConcurrency(int concurrency)
                    throws SQLException
Sets the concurrency of this RowSet object to the given concurrency level. This method is used to change the concurrency level of a rowset, which is by default ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY

Parameters:
concurrency - one of the ResultSet constants specifying a concurrency level: ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY or ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
ResultSet.getConcurrency()

setNull

void setNull(int parameterIndex,
             int sqlType)
             throws SQLException
Sets the designated parameter in this RowSet object's SQL command to SQL NULL.

Note: You must specify the parameter's SQL type.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
sqlType - a SQL type code defined by java.sql.Types
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setNull

void setNull(String parameterName,
             int sqlType)
             throws SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to SQL NULL.

Note: You must specify the parameter's SQL type.

Parameters:
parameterName - the name of the parameter
sqlType - the SQL type code defined in java.sql.Types
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed CallableStatement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this method
Since:
1.4

setNull

void setNull(int paramIndex,
             int sqlType,
             String typeName)
             throws SQLException
Sets the designated parameter in this RowSet object's SQL command to SQL NULL. This version of the method setNull should be used for SQL user-defined types (UDTs) and REF type parameters. Examples of UDTs include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types.

Note: To be portable, applications must give the SQL type code and the fully qualified SQL type name when specifying a NULL UDT or REF parameter. In the case of a UDT, the name is the type name of the parameter itself. For a REF parameter, the name is the type name of the referenced type. If a JDBC driver does not need the type code or type name information, it may ignore it. Although it is intended for UDT and REF parameters, this method may be used to set a null parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-defined or REF type, the typeName parameter is ignored.

Parameters:
paramIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
sqlType - a value from java.sql.Types
typeName - the fully qualified name of an SQL UDT or the type name of the SQL structured type being referenced by a REF type; ignored if the parameter is not a UDT or REF type
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setNull

void setNull(String parameterName,
             int sqlType,
             String typeName)
             throws SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to SQL NULL. This version of the method setNull should be used for user-defined types and REF type parameters. Examples of user-defined types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types.

Note: To be portable, applications must give the SQL type code and the fully-qualified SQL type name when specifying a NULL user-defined or REF parameter. In the case of a user-defined type the name is the type name of the parameter itself. For a REF parameter, the name is the type name of the referenced type. If a JDBC driver does not need the type code or type name information, it may ignore it. Although it is intended for user-defined and Ref parameters, this method may be used to set a null parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-defined or REF type, the given typeName is ignored.

Parameters:
parameterName - the name of the parameter
sqlType - a value from java.sql.Types
typeName - the fully-qualified name of an SQL user-defined type; ignored if the parameter is not a user-defined type or SQL REF value
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed CallableStatement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this method
Since:
1.4
