JSP - Database AccessThis chapter assumes you have good understanding on how JDBC application works. Before starting with database access through a JSP, make sure you have proper JDBC environment setup along with a database. For more detail on how to access database using JDBC and its environment setup you can go through our JDBC Tutorial. To start with basic concept, let us create a simple table and create few records in that table as follows: Create Table To create the Employees table in EMP database, use the following steps: Step 1: Open a Command Prompt and change to the installation directory as follows:
C:\>
C:\>cd Program Files\MySQL\bin C:\Program Files\MySQL\bin> Step 2: Login to database as follows
C:\Program Files\MySQL\bin>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ******** mysql> Step 3: Create the table Employee in TEST database as follows:
mysql> use TEST;
mysql> create table Employees ( id int not null, age int not null, first varchar (255), last varchar (255) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec) mysql> Create Data Records Finally you create few records in Employee table as follows:
mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (100, 18, 'Zara', 'Ali');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (101, 25, 'Mahnaz', 'Fatma'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (102, 30, 'Zaid', 'Khan'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (103, 28, 'Sumit', 'Mittal'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> SELECT Operation: Following example shows how we can execute SQL SELECT statement using JTSL in JSP programming:
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%> <html> <head> <title>SELECT Operation</title> </head> <body> <sql:setDataSource var="snapshot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST" user="root" password="pass123"/> <sql:query dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result"> SELECT * from Employees; </sql:query> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <th>Emp ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}"> <tr> <td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.first}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.last}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.age}"/></td> </tr> </c:forEach> </table> </body> </html> Now try to access above JSP, which should display the following result:
Following example shows how we can execute SQL INSERT statement using JTSL in JSP programming:
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%> <html> <head> <title>JINSERT Operation</title> </head> <body> <sql:setDataSource var="snapshot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST" user="root" password="pass123"/> <sql:update dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result"> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (104, 2, 'Nuha', 'Ali'); </sql:update> <sql:query dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result"> SELECT * from Employees; </sql:query> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <th>Emp ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}"> <tr> <td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.first}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.last}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.age}"/></td> </tr> </c:forEach> </table> </body> </html> Now try to access above JSP, which should display the following result:
Following example shows how we can execute SQL DELETE statement using JTSL in JSP programming:
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%> <html> <head> <title>DELETE Operation</title> </head> <body> <sql:setDataSource var="snapshot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST" user="root" password="pass123"/> <c:set var="empId" value="103"/> <sql:update dataSource="${snapshot}" var="count"> DELETE FROM Employees WHERE Id = ? <sql:param value="${empId}" /> </sql:update> <sql:query dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result"> SELECT * from Employees; </sql:query> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <th>Emp ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}"> <tr> <td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.first}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.last}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.age}"/></td> </tr> </c:forEach> </table> </body> </html> Now try to access above JSP, which should display the following result:
Following example shows how we can execute SQL UPDATE statement using JTSL in JSP programming:
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%> <html> <head> <title>DELETE Operation</title> </head> <body> <sql:setDataSource var="snapshot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST" user="root" password="pass123"/> <c:set var="empId" value="102"/> <sql:update dataSource="${snapshot}" var="count"> UPDATE Employees SET last = 'Ali' <sql:param value="${empId}" /> </sql:update> <sql:query dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result"> SELECT * from Employees; </sql:query> <table border="1" width="100%"> <tr> <th>Emp ID</th> <th>First Name</th> <th>Last Name</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}"> <tr> <td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.first}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.last}"/></td> <td><c:out value="${row.age}"/></td> </tr> </c:forEach> </table> </body> </html> Now try to access above JSP, which should display the following result:
