20.3. MySQL Connector/J

This section explains how to configure and develop Java applications with MySQL Connector/J, the
JDBC driver that is integrated with MySQL.
For release notes detailing the changes in each release of Connector/J, see
Release Notes.

20.3.1. Overview of MySQL Connector/J

MySQL provides connectivity for client applications developed in the Java programming language
through a JDBC driver, which is called MySQL Connector/J.
MySQL Connector/J is a JDBC Type 4 driver. Different versions are available that are compatible with
the JDBC 3.0 and JDBC 4.0 specifications. The Type 4 designation means that the driver is a pure
Java implementation of the MySQL protocol and does not rely on the MySQL client libraries.
For large-scale programs that use common design patterns of data access, consider using one of the
popular persistence frameworks such as Hibernate,
reduce the amount of JDBC code for you to debug, tune, secure, and maintain.

Connector/J".

20.3.2. Connector/J Versions

There are currently four versions of MySQL Connector/J available:
MySqlCommandBuilder cb = new MySqlCommandBuilder(da);
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = sql;
// use Cloned object to avoid .NET rebuilding the object, and
// thereby throwing away our command text additions.
MySqlCommand insertCmd = cb.GetInsertCommand().Clone();
insertCmd.CommandText = insertCmd.CommandText + ";SELECT last_insert_id() AS id";
insertCmd.UpdatedRowSource = UpdateRowSource.FirstReturnedRecord;
da.InsertCommand = insertCmd;
cb.DataAdapter = null; // Unhook RowUpdating event handler
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
row["name"] = "Joe Smith";
dt.Rows.Add(row);
da.Update(dt);
System.Console.WriteLine("ID after update: " + row["id"]);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
conn.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Done.");
