Interface RowSet

All Superinterfaces:
  ResultSet

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.

  Sets the URL this `RowSet` object will use when it uses the `DriverManager` to create a connection. Setting this property is optional. If a URL is used, a JDBC driver that accepts the URL must be loaded by the application before the rowset is used to connect to a database. The rowset will use the URL internally to create a database connection when reading or writing data. Either a URL or a data source name is used to create a connection, whichever was specified most recently.

  Parameters:
    `url` - a string value; may be `null`
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `getUrl()`

### getDataSourceName

  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

    public 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

### setBoolean

    public void setBoolean(int parameterIndex,
                           boolean x)
                    throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command to the given Java `boolean` value. The driver converts this to an SQL `BIT` value before sending it to the database.

  Parameters:

    `x` - the parameter value
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setByte

                            throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command to the given `java.io.Reader` value. It may be more practical to send a very large UNICODE value via a `java.io.Reader` rather than as a `LONGVARCHAR` parameter. The driver will read the data from the stream as needed until it reaches end-of-file.

  Note: This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.

### setObject

    public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                          Object x,
                          int targetSqlType,
                          int scale)
                   throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command with the given Java `Object`. For integral values, the `java.lang` equivalent objects should be used (for example, an instance of the class `Integer` for an `int`).

  The given Java object will be converted to the targetSqlType before being sent to the database.

  If the object is of a class implementing `SQLData`, the rowset should call the method `SQLData.writeSQL` to write the object to an `SQLOutput` data stream. If the object is an instance of a class implementing the `Ref`, `Struct`, `Array`, `Blob`, or `Clob` interfaces, the driver uses the default mapping to the corresponding SQL type.

  Note that this method may be used to pass datatabase-specific abstract data types.

  Parameters:
    `parameterIndex` - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
    `x` - the object containing the input parameter value
    `targetSqlType` - the SQL type (as defined in `java.sql.Types`) to be sent to the database. The scale argument may further qualify this type.
    `scale` - for `java.sql.Types.DECIMAL` or `java.sql.Types.NUMERIC` types, this is the number of digits after the decimal point. For all other types, this value will be ignored.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `Types`

### setObject

    public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                          Object x,
                          int targetSqlType)
                   throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command with a Java `Object`. For integral values, the `java.lang` equivalent objects should be used. This method is like `setObject` above, but the scale used is the scale of the second parameter. Scalar values have a scale of zero. Literal values have the scale present in the literal.

  Even though it is supported, it is not recommended that this method be called with floating point input values.

  Parameters:
    `parameterIndex` - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
    `x` - the object containing the input parameter value
    `targetSqlType` - the SQL type (as defined in `java.sql.Types`) to be sent to the database
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setObject

    public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                          Object x)
                   throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command with a Java `Object`. For integral values, the `java.lang` equivalent objects should be used.

  The JDBC specification provides a standard mapping from Java Object types to SQL types. The driver will convert the given Java object to its standard SQL mapping before sending it to the database.

  Note that this method may be used to pass datatabase-specific abstract data types by using a driver-specific Java type. If the object is of a class implementing `SQLData`, the rowset should call the method `SQLData.writeSQL` to write the object to an `SQLOutput` data stream. If the object is an instance of a class implementing the `Ref`, `Struct`, `Array`, `Blob`, or `Clob` interfaces, the driver uses the default mapping to the corresponding SQL type.

  An exception is thrown if there is an ambiguity, for example, if the object is of a class implementing more than one of these interfaces.

  Parameters:
    `parameterIndex` - The first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
    `x` - The object containing the input parameter value
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setRef

    public void setRef(int i,

  Parameters:
    `i` - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
    `x` - an object representing data of an SQL `REF` type
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setBlob

    public void setBlob(int i,
                        Blob x)
                 throws SQLException

                        Clob x)
                 throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command with the given `Clob` value. The driver will convert this to the `CLOB` value that the `Clob` object represents before sending it to the database.

  Parameters:
    `i` - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
    `x` - an object representing an SQL array
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setDate

    public void setDate(int parameterIndex,
                        Date x,

                             Calendar cal)
                      throws SQLException

  Sets the designated parameter in this `RowSet` object's command with the given `java.sql.Timestamp` value. The driver will convert this to an SQL `TIMESTAMP` value, using the given `java.util.Calendar` object to calculate it, before sending it to the database.

### clearParameters

    public void clearParameters()
                         throws SQLException

  Clears the parameters set for this `RowSet` object's command.

  In general, parameter values remain in force for repeated use of a `RowSet` object. Setting a parameter value automatically clears its previous value. However, in some cases it is useful to immediately release the resources used by the current parameter values, which can be done by calling the method `clearParameters`.

  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws SQLException

  Fills this `RowSet` object with data.

  The `execute` method may use the following properties to create a connection for reading data: url, data source name, user name, password, transaction isolation, and type map. The `execute` method may use the following properties to create a statement to execute a command: command, read only, maximum field size, maximum rows, escape processing, and query timeout.

  If the required properties have not been set, an exception is thrown. If this method is successful, the current contents of the rowset are discarded and the rowset's metadata is also (re)set. If there are outstanding updates, they are ignored.

  If this `RowSet` object does not maintain a continuous connection with its source of data, it may use a reader (a `RowSetReader` object) to fill itself with data. In this case, a reader will have been registered with this `RowSet` object, and the method `execute` will call on the reader's `readData` method as part of its implementation.

  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or any of the properties necessary for making a connection and creating a statement have not been set

### addRowSetListener

    public void addRowSetListener(RowSetListener listener)

  Registers the given listener so that it will be notified of events that occur on this `RowSet` object.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - a component that has implemented the `RowSetListener` interface and wants to be notified when events occur on this `RowSet` object
  See Also:
    `removeRowSetListener(javax.sql.RowSetListener)`

### removeRowSetListener

    public void removeRowSetListener(RowSetListener listener)

  Removes the specified listener from the list of components that will be notified when an event occurs on this `RowSet` object.

  Parameters:
    `listener` - a component that has been registered as a listener for this `RowSet` object
