Savepoints in SQLJ applications

Under the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, you can include any form
of the SQL SAVEPOINT statement in your SQLJ program.
An SQL savepoint represents the state of data and schemas at a particular point in
time within a unit of work. SQL statements exist to set a savepoint, release a
savepoint, and restore data and schemas to the state that the savepoint represents.
The following example demonstrates how to set a savepoint, roll back to the
savepoint, and release the savepoint.
Figure 51. Setting, rolling back to, and releasing a savepoint in an SQLJ application
#sql context Ctx;
String empNumVar;
int shoeSizeVar;
...
try {
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
}
Connection jdbccon=
jdbccon.setAutoCommit(false); // Do not autocommit
Ctx ctxt=new Ctx(jdbccon);
...
#sql [ctxt] {COMMIT};
#sql [ctxt]
#sql [ctxt]
...
#sql [ctxt]
#sql [ctxt] {ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT SVPT1};
...
#sql [ctxt] {RELEASE SAVEPOINT SVPT1};
ctx.close();

XML data in SQLJ applications

In SQLJ applications, you can store data in XML columns and retrieve data from
XML columns.
In DB2 tables, the XML built-in data type is used to store XML data in a column as
a structured set of nodes in a tree format.
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
e.printStackTrace();
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://sysmvs1.stl.ibm.com:5021/NEWYORK",
userid,password);
{INSERT INTO EMP_SHOE VALUES ('000010', 6)};
{SAVEPOINT SVPT1 ON ROLLBACK RETAIN CURSORS};
{INSERT INTO EMP_SHOE VALUES ('000020', 10)};
