Inserting Records
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let's start with inserting records. Can anyone tell me the importance of inserting data into a database?
Inserting records is essential for adding new data to our database.
Exactly! We need to track students' information, right? Now, here’s how you can insert records using a `PreparedStatement`. Let’s look at this example.
"```java
Updating Records
Unlock Audio Lesson
Next, let's discuss updating records. Has anyone here ever changed data in a database?
Yes, I updated a student's grade once!
Perfect! In databases, you can update records using the `UPDATE` statement. Let’s examine this example.
"```java
Deleting Records

Now that we’ve discussed insertions and updates, let's move on to deletions. Why would we delete records?
We might need to remove outdated information or incorrect entries!
Exactly! Now, here’s how you can delete records using JDBC.

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, we explore the practical execution of CRUD operations, focusing on how to insert new records, update existing data, and delete records from a database using the PreparedStatement in JDBC. We provide example code snippets to illustrate these processes.

Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Records
In the context of database management, the ability to insert, update, and delete records is fundamental. This section elaborates on these key operations using the JDBC API in Java.
Key Operations Covered:
- Inserting Records: We use the
INSERT INTOstatement through aPreparedStatement. An example demonstrates how to insert student data into a database.
- Updating Records: The section also covers how to update existing records using the
UPDATEstatement. The use of placeholders in parameterized queries prevents SQL injection threats while improving performance.
- Deleting Records: Lastly, we detail how to remove records from a database using the
DELETEstatement. Again, parameterized queries ensure security and efficiency.
These operations are crucial for managing data in an application. Proper use of the PreparedStatement helps maintain the integrity of the database while safeguarding against SQL injection risks.

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO students VALUES (?, ?, ?);");
pstmt.setInt(1, 103);
pstmt.setString(2, "Aman");
pstmt.setString(3, "B.Tech");
int rows = pstmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(rows + " rows inserted.");
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we cover the process of inserting records into a database using JDBC. First, we prepare a SQL statement that defines how we want to insert data into the 'students' table. We use placeholders (question marks) to indicate where data will be inserted. We then set the actual values for these placeholders using the setInt and setString methods. Finally, we execute the update using executeUpdate(), which returns the number of rows affected by the operation, allowing us to confirm how many records were inserted.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this process like filling out a form for a new student at a school. Just as you fill in different fields like ID, name, and course, here we define the data we want to insert into our database. Once the form is complete and submitted, the student is officially added to the school records just like our data is added to the database.
Updating Records

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE students SET name=? WHERE id=?;");
pstmt.setString(1, "Rahul");
pstmt.setInt(2, 101);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
Detailed Explanation
In this section, we discuss how to update existing records in the database. We prepare a SQL statement for updating a specific student's name based on their ID. Just as before, we use placeholders, but in this case, we specify the new name and the ID of the student we want to update. The executeUpdate() method is used again to perform the operation, updating the necessary record in the database.
Examples & Analogies
Consider this updating process as changing your contact details with a service provider. You provide the updated name (new contact detail) along with your unique account ID (identification), and once you submit the update, they modify their records accordingly. Similarly, we’re modifying the student details in the database.
Deleting Records
Unlock Audio Book
Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("DELETE FROM students WHERE id=?;");
pstmt.setInt(1, 101);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains how to delete records from the database. We prepare a SQL statement that specifies which record to remove by identifying it with an ID. Using the setInt method, we provide the ID of the student we wish to delete. The executeUpdate() method executes the deletion. Just like insertion and updating, this method affects the number of records removed from the table.
Examples & Analogies
Think of deleting a record like removing a page from a book. When you realize a page is no longer needed (for example, if a student leaves the school), you simply rip it out. In our case, we identify the specific page (student record) to remove using its ID and then execute the deletion process.
