Basic data types sample

Download JDBC driver

This Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server sample application demonstrates how to use result set getter methods to retrieve basic SQL Server data type values, and how to use result set update methods to update those values.

The code file for this sample is named BasicDataTypes.java, and it can be found in the following location:

\<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\samples\datatypes

Requirements

To run this sample application, you must set the classpath to include the mssql-jdbc jar file. You'll also need access to the AdventureWorks2022 sample database. For more information about how to set the classpath, see Using the JDBC Driver.

The sample will create the required table and insert sample data in the AdventureWorks2022 sample database:

Example

In the following example, the sample code makes a connection to the AdventureWorks2022 database, and then retrieves a single row of data from the DataTypesTable test table. The custom displayRow method is then called to display all the data in the result set using various get<Type> methods of the SQLServerResultSet class.

Next, the sample uses various update<Type> methods of the SQLServerResultSet class to update the data in the result set, and then calls the updateRow method to persist that data back to the database.

Finally, the sample refreshes the data in the result set and then calls the custom displayRow method again to display the data in the result set.
