javax.sql.RowSet group of interfaces, can be customized to
use and update data from a spread sheet, flat file, or any other tabular
data source.
java.sql package, referred to as the JDBC core API,
and the javax.sql package, referred to as the JDBC Optional
Package API. This complete JDBC API
is included in the Java Standard Edition (Java SE).
The javax.sql package extends the functionality of the JDBC API
from a client-side API to a server-side API, and it is an essential part
of the Java Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) technology.
Classes, interfaces, methods, fields, constructors, and exceptions have the following "since" tags that indicate when they were introduced into the Java platform. When these "since" tags are used in Javadoc comments for the JDBC API, they indicate the following:
Note
Many of the new features are optional; consequently, there is some variation in drivers and the features they support. Always check your driver's documentation to see whether it supports a feature before you try to use it.
java.sql Package Containsjava.sql package contains API for the following:
DriverManager facility
DriverManager class -- makes a connection with a driver
Driver interface -- provides the API for registering
and connecting drivers based on JDBC technology ("JDBC drivers");
generally used only by the DriverManager class
DriverPropertyInfo class -- provides properties for a
JDBC driver; not used by the general user
Statement -- used to send basic SQL statements
PreparedStatement -- used to send prepared statements or
basic SQL statements (derived from Statement)
CallableStatement -- used to call database stored
procedures (derived from PreparedStatement)
Connection interface -- provides methods for creating
statements and managing connections and their properties
Savepoint -- provides savepoints in a transaction
ResultSet interface

a UDT to an instance of this class

UDT attributes from a stream

UDT attributes back to a stream
DatabaseMetaData interface -- provides information
about the database

is a problem accessing data and by some methods for other reasons

been truncated

Package APIDataSource interface as a means of making a connection. The
Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI) is used for registering a DataSource object with a
naming service and also for retrieving it.
RowSet technology -- providing a convenient means of
handling and passing data
DISTINCT
type are the UDTs that may be custom mapped. The following three
steps set up a custom mapping:
DISTINCT type in SQL
SQLData interface.
Connection object's type map
that contains two things:
Class object for the class that implements the
SQLData interface
When these are in place for a UDT, calling the methods
ResultSet.getObject or CallableStatement.getObject
on that UDT will automatically retrieve the custom mapping for it. Also, the
PreparedStatement.setObject method will automatically map the
object back to its SQL type to store it in the data source.
