SQLite - Java
Installation
Before using SQLite in a Java program, we need to ensure that the SQLite JDBC Driver and Java are already available on the machine. You can check out the Java tutorial to learn how to install Java on your computer. Now, let’s see how to install the SQLite JDBC driver on your machine.
Download the latest version of sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar from the sqlite-jdbc library.
Add the downloaded jar file sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar to your classpath, or use it with the -classpath option, which will This will be explained in later examples.
Before learning the following sections, you must have a preliminary understanding of Java JDBC concepts. If you haven't learned the relevant knowledge yet, it is recommended that you spend half an hour studying the JDBC tutorial, which will help you learn the knowledge explained next.
Connecting to Database
The following Java program shows how to connect to an existing database. If the database does not exist, it will be created and a database object will be returned.
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
}
}Now, let us compile and run the above program to create our database test.db in the current directory. You can change the path as needed. We assume that the version of the JDBC driver available in the current path is sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar.
$javac SQLiteJDBC.java $java -classpath ".:sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar" SQLiteJDBC Open database successfully
If you want to use a Windows machine, you can compile and run your code as follows:
$javac SQLiteJDBC.java $java -classpath ".;sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar" SQLiteJDBC Opened database successfully
Create table
The following Java program will be used in Create a table in the previously created database:
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
stmt = c.createStatement();
String sql = "CREATE TABLE COMPANY " +
"(ID INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL," +
" NAME TEXT NOT NULL, " +
" AGE INT NOT NULL, " +
" ADDRESS CHAR(50), " +
" SALARY REAL)";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
stmt.close();
c.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Table created successfully");
}
}When the above program is compiled and executed, it will create the COMPANY table in test.db, and the final file list looks like this:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3201128 Jan 22 19:04 sqlite-jdbc-3.7.2.jar -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1506 May 8 05:43 SQLiteJDBC.class -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 832 May 8 05:42 SQLiteJDBC.java -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3072 May 8 05:43 test.db
INSERT Operation
The following Java code shows how to create a record in the COMPANY table created above:
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
c.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
stmt = c.createStatement();
String sql = "INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) " +
"VALUES (1, 'Paul', 32, 'California', 20000.00 );";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
sql = "INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) " +
"VALUES (2, 'Allen', 25, 'Texas', 15000.00 );";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
sql = "INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) " +
"VALUES (3, 'Teddy', 23, 'Norway', 20000.00 );";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
sql = "INSERT INTO COMPANY (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY) " +
"VALUES (4, 'Mark', 25, 'Rich-Mond ', 65000.00 );";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
stmt.close();
c.commit();
c.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Records created successfully");
}
}When the above program compiles and executes, it creates a record in the COMPANY table Given a record, the following two lines are displayed:
Opened database successfully Records created successfully
SELECT Operation
The following Java program shows how to get and display records from the COMPANY table created earlier:
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
c.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
stmt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM COMPANY;" );
while ( rs.next() ) {
int id = rs.getInt("id");
String name = rs.getString("name");
int age = rs.getInt("age");
String address = rs.getString("address");
float salary = rs.getFloat("salary");
System.out.println( "ID = " + id );
System.out.println( "NAME = " + name );
System.out.println( "AGE = " + age );
System.out.println( "ADDRESS = " + address );
System.out.println( "SALARY = " + salary );
System.out.println();
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
c.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Operation done successfully");
}
}When the above program compiles and executes, it produces the following results:
Opened database successfully ID = 1 NAME = Paul AGE = 32 ADDRESS = California SALARY = 20000.0 ID = 2 NAME = Allen AGE = 25 ADDRESS = Texas SALARY = 15000.0 ID = 3 NAME = Teddy AGE = 23 ADDRESS = Norway SALARY = 20000.0 ID = 4 NAME = Mark AGE = 25 ADDRESS = Rich-Mond SALARY = 65000.0 Operation done successfully
UPDATE Operation
The following Java code shows how to use the UPDATE statement to update any record and then retrieve it from the COMPANY table Get and display updated records:
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
c.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
stmt = c.createStatement();
String sql = "UPDATE COMPANY set SALARY = 25000.00 where ID=1;";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
c.commit();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM COMPANY;" );
while ( rs.next() ) {
int id = rs.getInt("id");
String name = rs.getString("name");
int age = rs.getInt("age");
String address = rs.getString("address");
float salary = rs.getFloat("salary");
System.out.println( "ID = " + id );
System.out.println( "NAME = " + name );
System.out.println( "AGE = " + age );
System.out.println( "ADDRESS = " + address );
System.out.println( "SALARY = " + salary );
System.out.println();
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
c.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Operation done successfully");
}
}When the above program is compiled and executed, it produces the following results:
Opened database successfully ID = 1 NAME = Paul AGE = 32 ADDRESS = California SALARY = 25000.0 ID = 2 NAME = Allen AGE = 25 ADDRESS = Texas SALARY = 15000.0 ID = 3 NAME = Teddy AGE = 23 ADDRESS = Norway SALARY = 20000.0 ID = 4 NAME = Mark AGE = 25 ADDRESS = Rich-Mond SALARY = 65000.0 Operation done successfully
DELETE Operation
The following Java code shows how to use The DELETE statement deletes any records and then obtains and displays the remaining records from the COMPANY table:
import java.sql.*;
public class SQLiteJDBC
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
Connection c = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:test.db");
c.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("Opened database successfully");
stmt = c.createStatement();
String sql = "DELETE from COMPANY where ID=2;";
stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
c.commit();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM COMPANY;" );
while ( rs.next() ) {
int id = rs.getInt("id");
String name = rs.getString("name");
int age = rs.getInt("age");
String address = rs.getString("address");
float salary = rs.getFloat("salary");
System.out.println( "ID = " + id );
System.out.println( "NAME = " + name );
System.out.println( "AGE = " + age );
System.out.println( "ADDRESS = " + address );
System.out.println( "SALARY = " + salary );
System.out.println();
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
c.close();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
System.err.println( e.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage() );
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Operation done successfully");
}
}When the above program compiles and executes, it produces the following results:
Opened database successfully ID = 1 NAME = Paul AGE = 32 ADDRESS = California SALARY = 25000.0 ID = 3 NAME = Teddy AGE = 23 ADDRESS = Norway SALARY = 20000.0 ID = 4 NAME = Mark AGE = 25 ADDRESS = Rich-Mond SALARY = 65000.0 Operation done successfully
