Method Detail

closeConnection

public static void closeConnection(Connection con)

Close the given JDBC Connection and ignore any thrown exception. This is useful for typical finally blocks in manual JDBC code.

Parameters:

con - the JDBC Connection to close (may be null)

closeStatement

public static void closeStatement(Statement stmt)

Close the given JDBC Statement and ignore any thrown exception. This is useful for typical finally blocks in manual JDBC code.

Parameters:

stmt - the JDBC Statement to close (may be null)

closeResultSet

public static void closeResultSet(ResultSet rs)

Close the given JDBC ResultSet and ignore any thrown exception. This is useful for typical finally blocks in manual JDBC code.

Parameters:

rs - the JDBC ResultSet to close (may be null)

getResultSetValue

public static Object getResultSetValue(ResultSet rs,
                                       int index,
                                       Class requiredType)
                                throws SQLException

Retrieve a JDBC column value from a ResultSet, using the specified value type.

Uses the specifically typed ResultSet accessor methods, falling back to getResultSetValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int) for unknown types.

Note that the returned value may not be assignable to the specified required type, in case of an unknown type. Calling code needs to deal with this case appropriately, e.g. throwing a corresponding exception.

Parameters:

rs - is the ResultSet holding the data

index - is the column index

requiredType - the required value type (may be null)

Returns:

the value object

Throws:

SQLException - if thrown by the JDBC API

getResultSetValue

public static Object getResultSetValue(ResultSet rs,
                                       int index)
                                throws SQLException

Retrieve a JDBC column value from a ResultSet, using the most appropriate value type. The returned value should be a detached value object, not having any ties to the active ResultSet: in particular, it should not be a Blob or Clob object but rather a byte array respectively String representation.

Uses the getObject(index) method, but includes additional "hacks" to get around Oracle 10g returning a non-standard object for its TIMESTAMP datatype and a java.sql.Date for DATE columns leaving out the time portion: These columns will explicitly be extracted as standard java.sql.Timestamp object.

Parameters:

rs - is the ResultSet holding the data

index - is the column index

Returns:

the value object

Throws:

SQLException - if thrown by the JDBC API

See Also:

Blob, Clob, Timestamp

extractDatabaseMetaData

public static Object extractDatabaseMetaData(DataSource dataSource,
                                             DatabaseMetaDataCallback action)
                                      throws MetaDataAccessException

Extract database meta data via the given DatabaseMetaDataCallback.

This method will open a connection to the database and retrieve the database metadata. Since this method is called before the exception translation feature is configured for a datasource, this method can not rely on the SQLException translation functionality.

Any exceptions will be wrapped in a MetaDataAccessException. This is a checked exception and any calling code should catch and handle this exception. You can just log the error and hope for the best, but there is probably a more serious error that will reappear when you try to access the database again.

Parameters:

dataSource - the DataSource to extract metadata for

action - callback that will do the actual work

Returns:

object containing the extracted information, as returned by the DatabaseMetaDataCallback's processMetaData method

Throws:

MetaDataAccessException - if meta data access failed

extractDatabaseMetaData

public static Object extractDatabaseMetaData(DataSource dataSource,
                                             String metaDataMethodName)
                                      throws MetaDataAccessException

Call the specified method on DatabaseMetaData for the given DataSource, and extract the invocation result.

Parameters:

dataSource - the DataSource to extract meta data for

metaDataMethodName - the name of the DatabaseMetaData method to call

Returns:

the object returned by the specified DatabaseMetaData method

Throws:

MetaDataAccessException - if we couldn't access the DatabaseMetaData or failed to invoke the specified method

DatabaseMetaData

supportsBatchUpdates

public static boolean supportsBatchUpdates(Connection con)

Return whether the given JDBC driver supports JDBC 2.0 batch updates.

Typically invoked right before execution of a given set of statements: to decide whether the set of SQL statements should be executed through the JDBC 2.0 batch mechanism or simply in a traditional one-by-one fashion.

Logs a warning if the "supportsBatchUpdates" methods throws an exception and simply returns false in that case.

Parameters:

con - the Connection to check

Returns:

whether JDBC 2.0 batch updates are supported

See Also:

DatabaseMetaData.supportsBatchUpdates()

commonDatabaseName

public static String commonDatabaseName(String source)

Extract a common name for the database in use even if various drivers/platforms provide varying names.

Parameters:

source - the name as provided in database metedata

Returns:

the common name to be used

isNumeric

public static boolean isNumeric(int sqlType)

Check whether the given SQL type is numeric.

Parameters:

sqlType - the SQL type to be checked

Returns:

whether the type is numeric

lookupColumnName

public static String lookupColumnName(ResultSetMetaData resultSetMetaData,
                                      int columnIndex)
                               throws SQLException

Determine the column name to use. The column name is determined based on a lookup using ResultSetMetaData.

This method implementation takes into account recent clarifications expressed in the JDBC 4.0 specification:

columnLabel - the label for the column specified with the SQL AS clause. If the SQL AS clause was not specified, then the label is the name of the column.

Parameters:

resultSetMetaData - the current meta data to use

columnIndex - the index of the column for the look up

Returns:

the column name to use

Throws:

SQLException - in case of lookup failure

convertUnderscoreNameToPropertyName

public static String convertUnderscoreNameToPropertyName(String name)

Convert a column name with underscores to the corresponding property name using "camel case". A name like "customer_number" would match a "customerNumber" property name.

Parameters:

name - the column name to be converted

Returns:

the name using "camel case"
