在Java中使用ResultSet

Question

I've ran into a problem of having to run a number of different queries on the DB (different return types, different number of columns, etc). While writing that i started to wonder if there's a proper way of writing a helper function. It seemed that it's really easy to write a function that returns a ResultSet .

However since it a) doesn't close connection b) doesn't close the result set it seems as a possibly working, but improper solution. Is there any place to dump in all results so that they can be returned safely.

(Only thing i could come up with, is just returning a 2D string array (after converting all data to strings) and then converting it all back)

EDIT : Sorry for not writing clear, was wondering if there's any way to just store the result of the query as is (don't need to modify it) without writing a separate method for every possible return type.

The idea behind a 2d string list is being able to store the query values as is.

Col1 Row1 | Col2 Row1 | Col3 Row1
Col1 Row2 | Col2 Row2 | Col3 Row2

EDIT 2 Thank you for replies, i guess i'll just write a small parser for it.

Answer 1

You shouldn't be returning resultSets, you should read the results from the resultset into some kind of container object. A ResultSet is a wrapper around a database cursor, it goes away when the connection closes. It's something you read from and close right away, not something you can pass around your application.

Look at how spring-jdbc does it. You implement a resultSetMapper that is passed to the method on the JdbcTemplate.

Several observations:

• You don't need to use Spring to use spring-jdbc. However, I see very little value in reimplementing this stuff yourself.

• It's not the job of the code that reads the ResultSet to open and close connections, that needs to be elsewhere.

Answer 2

I'd recommend looking at Spring JDBC. Don't write such a thing yourself. It's already been done, and quite well.

For example, I don't like your idea of returning a List of Strings . You lose a lot of info that way. I'd return a Map of Lists (column view) or List of Maps (row view).

If you must, here are some database utilities that would get you started.

Answer 3

You can write helper functions that parse a ResultSet and convert it into an ArrayList or an array or even the fields of an object. For instance, lets say you have a table of orders and then a query returns all of the rows of that table for a particular user (customer). We could then do something like this:

static List<Order> parseOrder(ResultSet rs) {
   ArrayList<Order> orderList = new ArrayList<>();
   while(rs.next() ) {
      Order order = new Order();
      order.setID(rs.getInt(1));
      order.setCustomerID(rs.getInt(2));
      order.setItemName(rs.getString(3));
      orderList.add(order);
  }
  return orderList;

}

Simply turning the result set into an array of an array of Objects would be more general, but probably less useful.

I would leave it up to the calling function to close this ResultSet and possible the PreparedStatement (or Statement) and database connection.
