JDBC Connection in Java

JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) is an API for the Java programming language through which the databse can be accessed using methods for querying and updating data.


Example :- 

import java.sql.*;
 
public class ConnectionInfo {
 
    public Connection getConnection() {
        Connection conn = null;
        // the below properties should be read from a properties file based on the Database used
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; // url = jdbc:[subprotocol]://[hostname]:[portnumber]/
        String dbName = "jdbctutorial"; // database name
        String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; //Driver class name
        String username = "root"; // username
        String password = "root"; // password
        try {
          Class.forName(driver); // Dynamic loading based on database used.
          conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url + dbName, username, password);
          System.out.println("Connection Established");
        } catch (SQLException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            return conn;
        }
    }
 
    public void closeConnection(Connection conn) {
        if (conn != null) {
            try {
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}
