Until today I was working with ResultSet
when handling results from queries. But today I read a little about RowSet and CachedRowset and I realized they can ser
The implementations are JRE specific. Oracle (Sun) JRE comes with a bunch of implementations:
com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl
com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl
com.sun.rowset.WebRowSetImpl
com.sun.rowset.FilteredRowSetImpl
com.sun.rowset.JoinRowSetImpl
In Java 1.6 and before, you'd need to construct them yourself:
JdbcRowSet rowSet = new JdbcRowSetImpl();
rowSet.setDataSourceName("jdbc/dbname");
// Or
rowSet.setUrl("jdbc:vendor://host:port/dbname");
rowSet.setUsername("username");
rowSet.setPassword("password");
rowSet.setCommand("SELECT id, name, value FROM tbl");
rowSet.execute();
while (rowSet.next()) {
// ...
}
In Java 1.7 you can get them by a javax.sql.rowset
factory so that you're not dependent of underlying JRE implementation and that you can finetune the implementation of choice if necessary:
RowSetFactory rowSetFactory = RowSetProvider.newFactory();
JdbcRowSet rowSet = rowSetFactory.createJdbcRowSet();
// ...
It only doesn't provide a possibility to pass a ResultSet
on construction. Those implementations doesn't ship with the average JDBC driver (at least, MySQL and PostgreSQL have none). It's basically an extra (optional) layer over JDBC API as the package name prefix javax
hints.
Note that if you get that far by looking into rowsets, then you might want to consider to look into an ORM instead, such as Hibernate or JPA. They provide first/second level cache possibilities.
The RowSet
and CachedRowSet
are implemented by the JDBC drivers.
Your database provider delivers the drivers e.g. Oracle or MySql. However those drivers only make sense in conjunction with an actual database.
Add rt.jar in Eclipse Java Build Path. Then you see all the implemention class. Else you can remove the restriction from Eclipse which is not allowing to access rt.jar from jdk. Works for me. I was using jdk1.6 and Eclipse Luna.
It comes with the JDK.
In JDK 10, the jar is: jdk-10.0.2/lib/jrt-fs.jar
And the package/class inside the jar is: javax.sql.RowSet.class
