public DatabaseTools()

Method Detail

isConnectionAlive

public static boolean isConnectionAlive(java.sql.Connection con)

Checks if JDBC connection to a database is alive or not. Especially useful if a database server may time out JDBC connections that have not been used for a long time.

getFieldNames

public static java.util.ArrayList getFieldNames(ConnectionHandler ch,
                                                java.lang.String tableName,
                                                java.util.ArrayList types)
                                         throws java.sql.SQLException

Returns field names in a table.

Parameters:

ch - ConnectionHandler opened to the database.

tableName - the name of the database table.

types - ArrayList object to store type names in it.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException

getFieldTypes

public static int[] getFieldTypes(ConnectionHandler ch,
                                  java.lang.String tableName)
                           throws java.sql.SQLException

Returns field types in a table.

Parameters:

ch - ConnectionHandler opened to the database.

tableName - the name of the database table.

Returns:

readBytes

public static byte[] readBytes(java.sql.ResultSet rs,
                               int idx)
                        throws java.sql.SQLException

Reads bytes from a ResultSet. The strucure field can be LONGVARBINARY, BLOB or CLOB, VARCHAR(2)

Parameters:

rs - the ResultSet

idx - the index of the field (first column is 1)

Returns:

the data as a byte array. In case of CLOB "ASCII" encoding is used.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - in case of database error, or invalid column type

readBytes

Reads bytes from a ResultSet. The strucure field can be LONGVARBINARY, BLOB or CLOB, VARCHAR(2)

Parameters:

rs - the ResultSet

columnName - the name of the field

Returns:

the strucure as a byte array. In case of CLOB "ASCII" encoding is used.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - in case of database error, or invalid column type

readString

public static java.lang.String readString(java.sql.ResultSet rs,
                                          int idx)
                                   throws java.sql.SQLException
