JDBC Best Practices Tutorial

Date: 2017-07-24

This tutorial outlines JDBC best practices for Java programmers. Key recommendations include using PreparedStatements for pre-compiled SQL, enabling connection pooling for efficient resource management, disabling auto-commit for transactional integrity, and utilizing batch updates for improved performance. Accessing ResultSet data by column name (not index) enhances code readability and maintainability. The article also stresses closing resources in finally blocks (or using try-with-resources), employing statement caching, using appropriate getXXX() methods for data retrieval, and writing database-agnostic code using ANSI SQL. Prioritizing stored procedures and using Type 4 native JDBC drivers are also advised.
