How to create a table in Oracle using JDBC?

You can create a table in a database using the CREATE

TABLE query.

Syntax
CREATE TABLE table_name(
column1 datatype,
column2 datatype,
column3 datatype,
.....
columnN datatype,
PRIMARY KEY( one or more columns )
);

To create a table in a database using JDBC API you need to −

Register the Driver: Register the driver class using the

registerDriver() method of the DriverManager class. Pass the
driver class name to it, as parameter.

Establish a connection: Connect ot the database using the

getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Passing
URL (String), username (String), password (String) as
parameters to it.

Create Statement: Create a Statement object using the

createStatement() method of the Connection interface.

Execute the Query: Execute the query using the execute()

method of the Statement interface.
Following JDBC program establishes connection with Oracle
database and creates a table named DISPATCHES −

Example
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class CreateTable_Oracle
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
{
//Registering the Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());

//Getting the connection

String oracleUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe";

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(oracleUrl, "system", "password");

System.out.println("Connection established......");

//Creating the Statement

Statement stmt = con.createStatement();

//Query to create a table

String query = "CREATE TABLE DISPATCHES("
+ "ProductName VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, "
+ "CustomerName VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL, "
+ "DispatchDate date, "
+ "DeliveryTime timestamp, "
+ "Price INT, "
+ "Location varchar(20))";
stmt.execute(query);
System.out.println("Table Created......");
}
}

Output
Connection established......
Table Created......
In oracle you can get the list of tables using the
query/command −

Select * from tab;

If you verify the list of tables in the database using this, you
can observe the newly created table in it as −
How to insert record in a table from Oracle database using JDBC

You can insert records into a table using the INSERT query.

Syntax
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (column1, column2, column3,...columnN)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);
Or,
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);

To insert a record into a table in a database using JDBC API you need to −

Register the Driver: Register the driver class using the registerDriver() method of
the DriverManager class. Pass the driver class name to it, as parameter.

Establish a connection: Connect to the database using the getConnection() method of

the DriverManager class. Passing URL (String), username (String), password (String) as
parameters to it.

Create Statement: Create a Statement object using the createStatement() method of

the Connection interface.

Execute the Query: Execute the query using the executeUpdate() method of the Statement
interface.

Let us create a table with name dispatches in Oracle database using CREATE statement as
shown below −

CREATE TABLE dispatches(

 PRODUCTNAME VARCHAR2(20),
CUSTOMERNAME VARCHAR2(20),
DISPATCHDATE DATE,
DELIVERYTIME TIMESTAMP(6),
PRICE NUMBER(38),
LOCATION VARCHAR2(20)
);

Following JDBC program establishes connection with the Oracle database and inserts 5 records in
the Dispatches table −

Example

import java.sql.Connection;

import java.sql.Date;

import java.sql.DriverManager;

import java.sql.PreparedStatement;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import java.sql.Time;

public class InsertData_Oracle {

public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {

//Registering the Driver

DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());

//Getting the connection

String oracleUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe";

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(oracleUrl, "system", "password");

System.out.println("Connection established......");

//Inserting values to the table

String query = "INSERT INTO dispatches VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(query);

pstmt.setString(1, "Key-Board");

pstmt.setString(2, "Raja");

pstmt.setDate(3, new Date(1567315800000L));

pstmt.setTime(4, new Time(1567315800000L));

pstmt.setInt(5, 7000);

pstmt.setString(6, "Hyderabad");

pstmt.execute();

pstmt.setString(1, "Earphones");

pstmt.setString(2, "Roja");

pstmt.setDate(3, new Date(1556688600000L));

pstmt.setTime(4, new Time(1556688600000L));

pstmt.setInt(5, 2000);

pstmt.setString(6, "Vishakhapatnam");

pstmt.execute();

pstmt.setString(1, "Mouse");

pstmt.setString(2, "Puja");

pstmt.setDate(3, new Date(1551418199000L));

pstmt.setTime(4, new Time(1551418199000L));

pstmt.setInt(5, 3000);

pstmt.setString(6, "Vijayawada");

pstmt.execute();
 pstmt.setString(1, "Mobile");

pstmt.setString(2, "Vanaja");

pstmt.setDate(3, new Date(1551415252000L));

pstmt.setTime(4, new Time(1551415252000L));

pstmt.setInt(5, 9000);

pstmt.setString(6, "Chennai");

pstmt.execute();

pstmt.setString(1, "Headset");

pstmt.setString(2, "Jalaja");

pstmt.setDate(3, new Date(1554529139000L));

pstmt.setTime(4, new Time(1554529139000L));

pstmt.setInt(5, 6000);

pstmt.setString(6, "Goa");

pstmt.execute();

System.out.println("Records inserted......");

Output
Connection established......

Update Query
To update the contents of a record in a table using JDBC API you need to –

Register the Driver: Register the driver class using the registerDriver() method of
the DriverManager class. Pass the driver class name to it, as parameter.

Establish a connection: Connect to the database using the getConnection() method of

the DriverManager class. Passing URL (String), username (String), password (String) as
parameters to it.
Create Statement: Create a Statement object using the createStatement() method of
the Connection interface.

Execute the Query: Execute the query using the executeUpdate() method of the Statement
interface.

Update Query Example

create a table with name dispatches in Oracle database using CREATE statement as shown below –

CREATE TABLE Dispatches(

PRODUCTNAME VARCHAR2(20),
CUSTOMERNAME VARCHAR2(20),
DISPATCHDATE DATE,
DELIVERYTIME TIMESTAMP(6),
PRICE NUMBER(38),
LOCATION VARCHAR2(20)
);

Now, we will insert 5 records in dispatches table using INSERT statements −

insert into dispatches values('Key-Board', 'Raja', TO_DATE('2019-09-01', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
TO_DATE('11:00:00', 'hh:mi:ss'), 7000, 'India');
insert into dispatches values('Earphones', 'Roja', TO_DATE('2019-05-01', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
TO_DATE('11:00:00', 'hh:mi:ss'), 2000, 'Vishakhapatnam');
insert into dispatches values('Mouse', 'Puja', TO_DATE('2019-03-01', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
TO_DATE('10:59:59', 'hh:mi:ss'), 3000, 'Vijayawada');
insert into dispatches values('Mobile', 'Vanaja', TO_DATE('2019-03-01', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
TO_DATE('10:10:52', 'hh:mi:ss'), 9000, 'Chennai');
insert into dispatches values('Headset', 'Jalaja', TO_DATE('2019-04-06', 'yyyy/mm/dd'),
TO_DATE('11:08:59', 'hh:mi:ss' ), 6000, 'Goa');
Following JDBC program establishes connection with the Oracle database and increases the prices of
each product by 3000.

Example
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class UpdateRecordsExample {
public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
//Registering the Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
//Getting the connection
String oracleUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(oracleUrl, "system", "password");
System.out.println("Connection established......");
//Creating the Statement
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
//Query to update records, Increasing the price of all items by 3000
String query = "Update dispatches set PRICE = PRICE+3000";
//Executing the query
int i = stmt.executeUpdate(query);
System.out.println("Rows updated: "+i);
System.out.println("Contents of the dispatches table after updating the records: ");
//Retrieving data
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select * from dispatches");
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.print("Name: "+rs.getString("ProductName")+", ");
System.out.print("Customer Name: "+rs.getString("CustomerName")+", ");
System.out.print("Dispatch Date: "+rs.getDate("DispatchDate")+", ");
System.out.print("Delivery Time: "+rs.getTime("DeliveryTime")+", ");
System.out.print("Price: "+rs.getInt("Price")+", ");
System.out.print("Location: "+rs.getString("Location"));
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Output
Connection established......
