JDBC: New Feature

Jdbc New Features

The latest version of JDBC is 4.0 currently. Java has updated jdbc api to ease and simplify the coding to database interactivity.

Here, we are going to see the features included in Jdbc 3.0 and Jdbc 4.0.

Jdbc 3.0 Features

The important features of JDBC API 3.0 are as follows:

  • Jdbc RowSet We have done the great discussion on JdbcRowSet in the previous page.
  • Savepoint in transaction management Now you are able to create, rollback and release the savepoint by Connection.setSavepoint(), Connection.rollback(Savepoint svpt) and Connection.releaseSavepoint(Savepoint svpt) methods.
  • Statement and ResultSet Caching for Connection Pooling Now you are able to reuse the statement and result set because jdbc 3 provides you the facility of statement caching and result set caching.
  • Switching between Global and Local Transactions
  • Retrieval of auto generated keys Now you are able to get the auto generated keys by the method getGeneratedKeys().

Jdbc 4.0 Features

The important features of JDBC API 4.0 are given below:

  • Automatic Loading of Driver class You don't need to write Class.forName() now because it is loaded bydefault since jdbc4.
  • Subclasses of SQLException Jdbc 4 provides new subclasses of SQLException class for better readability and handling.
  • New methods There are many new methods introduced in Connection, PreparedStatement, CallableStatement, ResultSet etc.
  • Improved DataSource Now data source implementation is improved.
  • Event Handling support in Statement for Connection Pooling Now Connection Pooling can listen statement error and statement closing events.

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genetic Algorithm: Population, Fitness Function, Parent Selection, Cross over, Mutation

Genetic Algo Population Population is a subset of solutions in the current generation. It can also be defined as a set of chromosomes. There are several things to be kept in mind when dealing with GA population − The diversity of the population should be maintained otherwise it might lead to premature convergence. The population size should not be kept very large as it can cause a GA to slow down, while a smaller population might not be enough for a good mating pool. Therefore, an optimal population size needs to be decided by trial and error. The population is usually defined as a two dimensional array of –  size population, size x, chromosome size . Population Initialization There are two primary methods to initialize a population in a GA. They are − Random Initialization  − Populate the initial population with completely random solutions. Heuristic initialization  − Populate the initial population using a known heuristic for the problem. It has been observed that the e...

C++ (Object and Class)

The major purpose of C++ programming is to introduce the concept of object orientation to the C programming language. Object Oriented Programming is a paradigm that provides many concepts such as  inheritance, data binding, polymorphism etc. The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is known as truly object-oriented programming language.  Smalltalk  is considered as the first truly object-oriented programming language. OOPs (Object Oriented Programming System) Object  means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc.  Object-Oriented Programming  is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development and maintenance by providing some concepts: Object Class Inheritance Polymorphism Abstraction Encapsulation C++ Object In C++, Object is a real world entity, for example, chair, car, pen, mobile, laptop etc. In other words, object is an ent...
