如何在Java中使用.sql文件

Question

I have collected a source code of a java project from internet where there is a file with .sql extension. I am new to java and don,t know how to work with and get access to .sql file. How can I import the file in Netbeans and how to get access to that database. For your kind information, The project is on inventory management system and I have to get access to that database with a username and password contained inside it. What will I do now? Do I have to install any additional software or something else? Please give a step by step procedure to do that. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Doing some simple google searches I found this:

Running a .sql script using MySQL with JDBC

You could do it the way the OP did it, however its not as efficient as the answer. If you close the connection on how the OP did it in that post, and instead of writing the SQL, you can use a filereader to read from the SQL file and then use that data in the execute statement.

The only problem with his method though is that you need to install a JDBC driver.

Answer 2

1. install a kind of database(such as MySql)
2. (optional) install a gui tool for your database(such as navicat)
3. use the .sql files to create tables
4. install a JDBC driver, which establishes a bridge between your Java code and database
5. then you can access the database by using JDBC api
