Apache Derby – Quick Guide



Apache Derby – Introduction

Apache Derby is a Relational Database Management System which is fully based on (written/implemented in) Java programming language. It is an open source database developed by Apache Software Foundation.

Oracle released the equivalent of Apache Derby with the name JavaDB.

Features of Apache Derby

Following are the notable features of Derby database −

  • Platform independent − Derby uses on-disc database format where the databases in it are stored in a file in the disc within the directory with the same name as the database.

  • No modifying data − Because of this, you can move derby databases to other machines without modifying the data.

  • Transactional support − Derby provides complete support for transactions ensuring data integrity.

  • Including databases − You can include pre-build/existing databases into your current derby applications.

  • Less space − Derby database has a small footprint, i.e., it occupies less space and
    it is easy to use and deploy it.

  • Embed with Java Application − Derby provides an embedded database engine which can be embedded in to Java applications and it will be run in the same JVM as the application. Simply loading the driver starts the database and it stops with the applications.

Limitations of Apache Derby

Following are the limitations of Apache Derby −

  • Derby does not support indexes for datatypes such as BLOB and LONGVARCHAR.

  • If Derby does not have enough disc space, it will shut down immediately.

Data storage

While storing data, Apache Derby follows a concept known as conglomerate. In this, data of a table will be stored in a separate file. In the same way, each index of a table is also stored in a separate file. Thus, there will be a separate file for every table or index in the database.

Apache Derby Library/Components

Apache Derby distribution provides various components. In the lib folder of the apache distribution you have downloaded, you can observe jar files representing various components.

Jar file Component Description
derby.jar Database Engine and JDBC driver

The Database engine of Apache Derby is an embedded relational database engine which supports JDBC and SQL API’s.

This also acts as embedded Driver, using which you can communicate to Derby using Java applications.

derbynet.jar derbyrun.jar Network server

The Network Sever of Apache Derby provides the client server functionality, where the clients can connect to the Derby server through a network.

derbyclient.jar Network client JDBC driver
derbytools.jar Command line tools This jar file holds tools such as sysinfo, ij, and dblook.
derbyoptionaltools.jar Optional command line utilities (tools)

This jar file provides optional tools: databaseMetaData optional tool, foreignViews optional tool, luceneSupport optional tool, rawDBReader optional tool, simpleJson optional tool, etc

derbyLocale_XX.jar Jar files to localize messages

In addition to the above mentioned jar files, you can see several derbyLocale_XX.jar (es, fr, hu, it, ja, etc.). Using these, you can localize the messages of Apache Derby.

Apache Derby – Deployment Modes

You can deploy apache derby in two modes, namely embedded mode and server mode.

Embedded mode

You can run derby in embedded mode using Java application (using embedded driver). If you deploy Derby in embedded mode, the database engine will run in the same JVM as the Java application. It starts and stops with the application. You can access the database only with this application.

Embedded Mode

Server mode

In the server mode, derby will be run in the JVM of an application server where you can
send a request to the server to access it. Unlike in embedded mode, multiple applications (java) can send a request to the server and access the database.

Server Mode

Apache Derby – Environment Setup

Following chapter explains how to download and install Apache Derby.

Downloading Apache Derby

Visit the home page of Apache Derby home page . Click the Download tab.

Home page of Apache Derby

Select and click on the link of the latest version of Apache Derby.

Latest version of Apache Derby

On clicking the selected link, you will be redirected to the Distributions page of apache derby. If you observe here, derby provides distributions namely, db-derby-bin, db-derbylib.zip, db-derby-lib-debug.zip, and db-derby-src.zip.

Download the db-derby-bin folder. Copy its contents to a separate folder where you wanted to install Apache Derby. (for example, say C:Derby)

Now, to work with Derby,

  • Make sure that you already have set the JAVA_HOME variable by passing the location of bin folder of Java Installation folder, and include the JAVA_HOME/bin in the PATH variable.

  • Create a new environment variable, DERBY_HOME with value C:Derby.

  • The bin folder of db-derby-bin distributions (we changed it as C:Derbybin) contains all the required jar files.

As discussed, Apache Derby can be installed/deployed in two ways as follows −

  • Embedded mode − In this, you need to access the database using Embedded Derby JDBC driver. You can start and stop derby through Java application. Both Database engine and your application will run on the same JVM.

  • Network Server mode − In this mode, you can access Derby in a typical clientserver fashion, where Derby is embedded in the server system. Then, the client machines running in different JVM’s (that of the Server) will send requests to the server, and the server responds to those requests.

The client can be another JVM in the same system machine of the server or a Java application from a remote system.

Installing Derby in Embedded Mode

To install Apache Derby in embedded mode, include the jar file derby.jar in your CLASSPATH.

Or, you can set the classpath for required jar files by running the setEmbeddedCP
command. Browse through the bin directory of Apache Derby and run this file as shown
below −

C:UsersMYUSER>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin
C:Derbybin>setEmbeddedCP.bat
C:Derbybin>SET DERBY_HOME=C:Derby

dblooktool

This tool is used to generate Data Definition Language.

Browse through the bin folder of Derby installation directory and execute the dblook command as shown below −

C:UsersMY_USER>cd %DERBY_HOME%/bin
C:Derbybin>dblook -d myURL

Where, myURL is the connection URL of the database for which you need to generate DDL.

Apache Derby – Syntax

This chapter gives you the syntax of all the Apache Derby SQL statements.

All the statements start with any of the keywords like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, CREATE, USE, SHOW and all the statements end with a semicolon (;).

The SQL statements of Apache Derby are case in sensitives including table names.

CREATE Statement

CREATE TABLE table_name (
   column_name1 column_data_type1 constraint (optional),
   column_name2 column_data_type2 constraint (optional),
   column_name3 column_data_type3 constraint (optional)
);

DROP TABLE

DROP TABLE table_name;

INSERT Statement

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (column_name1, column_name2, ...);

SELECT Statement

SELECT column_name, column_name, ... FROM table_name;

UPDATE Statement

UPDATE table_name
   SET column_name = value, column_name = value, ...
   WHERE conditions;

DELETE Statement

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;

DESCRIBE Statement

Describe table_name

SQL TRUNCATE TABLE Statement

TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;

ALTER Statement – Adding column

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN column_name column_type;

ALTER Statement – Adding constraint

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name constraint (column_name);

ALTER Statement – Dropping column

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

ALTER Statement – Dropping constraint

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name;

WHERE Clause

SELECT * from table_name WHERE condition;
or,
DELETE from table_name WHERE condition;
or,
UPDATE table_name SET column_name = value WHERE condition;

GROUP BY Clause

SELECT column1, column2, . . . table_name GROUP BY column1, column2, . . .;

ORDER BY Clause

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC|DESC.

Having Clause

SELECT column1, column2 . . . from table_name GROUP BY column having
condition;

Creating Index

CTREATE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name);

Creating an UNIQUE index

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name);

Creating a COMPOSITE index

CREATE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name1, column_name2);

Displaying the Indexes

SHOW INDEXES FROM table_name;

Dropping Indexes

DROP INDEX index_name;

Apache Derby – Data Types

Data Type is an attribute that specifies the type of data of any object. Each column, variable and expression has a related data type. You can use these data types while creating your tables. You can choose a data type for a table column based on your requirement.

Derby Server offers several categories of data types for your use as listed below −

Integer Numeric Data Types

Following is the list of integer numeric data types −

DATA TYPE SIZE FROM TO
SMALLINT 2 bytes -32768 32767
INTEGER 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 2,147,483,647
BIGINT 8 bytes -9223372036854775808 9223372036854775808

Approximate Numeric Data Types

Following is the list of approximate numeric data types −

DATA TYPE SIZE FROM TO
REAL 4 bytes -3.40E + 38 3.40E + 38
DOUBLE PRECISION 8 bytes -1.79E + 308 1.79E + 308
FLOAT -1.79E + 308 1.79E + 308

Exact Numeric Data Types

Following is the list of exact numeric data types −

DATA TYPE FROM TO
DECIMAL -10^38 +1 10^38 -1
NUMERIC -10^38 +1 10^38 -1

Apache Derby – Create Table

The CREATE TABLE statement is used for creating a new table in Derby database.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the CREATE statement.

CREATE TABLE table_name (
   column_name1 column_data_type1 constraint (optional),
   column_name2 column_data_type2 constraint (optional),
   column_name3 column_data_type3 constraint (optional)
);

Another way to create a table in Apache Derby is that you can specify the column names and data types using a query. The syntax for this is given below −

CREATE TABLE table_name AS SELECT * FROM desired_table WITH NO DATA;

Example

The following SQL statement creates a table named Student with four columns, where id is the primary key and it is auto generated.

ij> CREATE TABLE Student (
   Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Age INT NOT NULL,
   First_Name VARCHAR(255),
   last_name VARCHAR(255),
   PRIMARY KEY (Id)
);
> > > > > > > 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

The DESCRIBE command describes specified table by listing the columns and their details, if the table exists. You can use this command to verify if the table is created.

ij> DESCRIBE Student;
COLUMN_NAME |TYPE_NAME |DEC&|NUM&|COLUM&|COLUMN_DEF|CHAR_OCTE&|IS_NULL&
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID          |INTEGER   |0   |10  |10    |AUTOINCRE&|NULL      |NO
AGE         |INTEGER   |0   |10  |10    |NULL      |NULL      |NO
FIRST_NAME  |VARCHAR   |NULL|NULL|255   |NULL      |510       |YES
LAST_NAME   |VARCHAR   |NULL|NULL|255   |NULL      |510       |YES
4 rows selected

Create a Table using JDBC Program

This section teaches you how to create a table in Apache Derby database using JDBC application.

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw
ord=PASSWORD”.

Follow the steps given below to create a table in Apache Derby −

Step 1: Register the driver

To communicate with the database, first of all, you need to register the driver. The forName() method of the class, Class accepts a String value representing a class name loads it in to the memory, which automatically registers it. Register the driver using this method.

Step 2: Get the connection

In general, the first step we do to communicate to the database is to connect with it. The Connection class represents the physical connection with a database server. You can create a connection object by invoking the getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Create a connection using this method.

Step 3: Create a statement object

You need to create a Statement or PreparedStatement or, CallableStatement objects to send SQL statements to the database. You can create these using the methods createStatement(), prepareStatement() and, prepareCall() respectively. Create either of these objects using the appropriate method.

Step 4: Execute the query

After creating a statement, you need to execute it. The Statement class provides various methods to execute a query like the execute() method to execute a statement that returns more than one result set. The executeUpdate() method executes queries like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. The executeQuery() method to results that returns data etc. Use either of these methods and execute the statement created previously.

Example

Following JDBC example demonstrates how to create a table in Apache Derby using JDBC program. Here, we are connecting to a database named sampleDB (will create if it does not exist) using the embedded driver.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class CreateTable {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
 
      //Executing the query
      String query = "CREATE TABLE Employees( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";
         stmt.execute(query);
         System.out.println("Table created");
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output

Table created

Apache Derby – Drop Table

The DROP TABLE statement is used to remove an existing table including all its triggers, constraints, permissions.

Syntax

Following is the Syntax of the DROP TABLE statement.

ij> DROP TABLE table_name;

Example

Suppose you have a table named Student in the database. The following SQL statement deletes a table named Student.

ij> DROP TABLE Student;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Since we have removed the table if we try to describe it, we will get an error as follows

ij> DESCRIBE Student;
IJ ERROR: No table exists with the name STUDENT

Drop Table using JDBC program

This section teaches you how to drop a table in Apache Derby database using JDBC application.

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw
ord=PASSWORD

Follow the steps given below to drop a table in Apache Derby

      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Executing the query
      String query = "DROP TABLE Employees";
      stmt.execute(query);
      System.out.println("Table dropped");
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Table dropped

Apache Derby – Insert Data

The insert query inserts data: new records, into the table.

Syntax

Following is the basic syntax of the INSERT statement −

ij>INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (column_name1, column_name2, ...);

where column1, column2 are the column values in the row that is to be inserted.

Example

The following SQL INSERT statement inserts a new row in the Student table, where it inserts values in the columns id, age, first name and, last name.

SQL> INSERT INTO Student VALUES (101, 20, ''Zara'', ''Ali'');

Syntax 2

Or, you can insert two specific columns by mentioning the column names, as given below −

ij>INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (column_name1, column_name2, ...) VALUES
(value1, value2, ...);

Note − Apache Derby automatically calculates values for generated columns. For example, there is no need to pass values for the id column in the student table created earlier in this tutorial. In case your table has generated columns, use syntax2.

Example

ij> INSERT INTO Student(Age, First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES (21, ''Sucharitha'' , ''Tyagi'');
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

And, you can also insert two rows using one statement as follows −

ij>INSERT INTO Student(Age, First_Name, Last_Name) VALUES (20, ''Amit'',
''Bhattacharya''), (22, ''Rahul'', ''Desai'');
2 rows inserted/updated/deleted

You can verify the contents of the table using the SELECT command (we will discuss this command later in this tutorial).

Syntax 3

You can use another query in the insert statement as −

INSERT INTO table_Name Query 

Example

Suppose, we have a table named First_Year in the database as shown below with similar columns as in Student table −

ID |AGE |FIRST_NAME |LAST_NAME
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1  |20  |Raju       |Pendyala
2  |21  |Bhargav    |Prayaga
3  |22  |Deepthi    |Yerramilli 

You can insert values in this table to the student table using the above syntax as −

ij> INSERT INTO Student (Age, First_Name, Last_Name)
 SELECT Age, First_Name, Last_Name FROM First_Year;
> 3 rows inserted/updated/deleted

After executing all the above insert statements, the Student table will be as follows −

ID |AGE |FIRST_NAME |LAST_NAME
-------------------------------------------------------------
1  |21  |Sucharitha |Tyagi
2  |20  |Amit       |Bhattacharya
3  |22  |Rahul      |Desai
4  |20  |Raju       |Pendyala
5  |21  |Bhargav    |Prayaga
6  |22  |Deepthi    |Yerramilli 

Insert Data using JDBC program

This section teaches you how to insert data in to a table in Apache Derby database using JDBC application.

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw
ord=PASSWORD

Follow the steps given below to insert data into a table in Apache Derby −

Step 1: Register the driver

To communicate with the database, first of all, you need to register the driver. The forName() method of the class, Class accepts a String value representing a class name loads it in to the memory, which automatically registers it. Register the driver using this method.

Step 2: Get the connection

In general, the first step we do to communicate to the database is to connect with it. The Connection class represents the physical connection with a database server. You can create a connection object by invoking the getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Create a connection using this method.

Step 3: Create a statement object

You need to create a Statement or PreparedStatement or, CallableStatement objects to send SQL statements to the database. You can create these using the methods createStatement(), prepareStatement() and, prepareCall() respectively. Create any of these objects using the appropriate method.

Step 4: Execute the query

After creating a statement, you need to execute it. The Statement class provides various methods to execute a query like the execute() method to execute a statement that returns more than one result set.

The executeUpdate() method executes queries like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. The executeQuery() method to results that returns data etc. Use either of these methods and execute the statement created previously.

Example

Following JDBC example demonstrates how to insert data into a table in Apache Derby using JDBC program. Here, we are connecting to a database named sampleDB (will create if it does not exist) using the embedded driver.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class InsertData {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:SampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating a table and populating
      String query = "CREATE TABLE Employees("
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";
      //Executing the query
      String query = "INSERT INTO Employees("
         + "Name, Salary, Location) VALUES "
         + "(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''), "
         + "(''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''), "
         + "(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin''), "
         + "(''Suchatra'', 33000, ''Pune''), "
         + "(''Rahul'', 39000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Trupti'', 45000, ''Kochin'')";
      stmt.execute(query);
      System.out.println("Values inserted");
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Values inserted

Apache Derby – Retrieve Data

The SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from a table. This returns the data in the form of a table known as result set.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the SELECT statement −

ij> SELECT column_name, column_name, ... FROM table_name;
Or,
Ij>SELECT * from table_name

Example

Let us suppose we have a table named Employees in the database as shown below −

ij> CREATE TABLE Employees (
   Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255),
   PRIMARY KEY (Id)
);
> > > > > > > 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

And, inserted four records in it as shown below −

ij> INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Salary, Location) VALUES
 (''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''),
 (''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''),
 (''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''),
 (''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai'');
> > > > 4 rows inserted/updated/deleted

The following SQL statement retrieves the name, age and salary details of all the employees in the table;

ij> SELECT Id, Name, Salary FROM Employees;

The output of this query is −

ID |NAME   |SALARY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000
2  |Kalyan |40000
3  |Renuka |50000
4  |Archana|15000
4 rows selected

If you want to get all the records of this table at once, use * instead of the names of the columns.

ij> select * from Employees;

This will produce the following result −

ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana|15000  |Mumbai
4 rows selected

Following JDBC example demonstrates how to Retrieve data from a table in Apache Derby using JDBC program. Here, we are connecting to a database named sampleDB (will create if it does not exist) using the embedded driver.

The executeQuery() method returns a ResultSet object which holds the result of the statement. Initially the result set pointer will be at the first record, you can print the contents of the ResultSet object using its next() and getXXX() methods.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class RetrieveData {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException,

      //Executing the query
      String query = "SELECT Id, Name, Salary FROM Employees";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while(rs.next()) {
         System.out.println("Id: "+rs.getString("Id"));
         System.out.println("Name: "+rs.getString("Name"));
         System.out.println("Salary: "+rs.getString("Salary"));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output

Id: 1
Name: Amit
Salary: 30000

Id: 2
Name: Kalyan
Salary: 43000

Id: 3
Name: Renuka

Apache Derby – Update Data

The UPDATE statement is used to update data in a table. Apache Derby provides two types of updates (syntax) namely searched update and positioned update.

The searched UPDATE statement updates all the specified columns of a table.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the UPDATE query −

ij> UPDATE table_name
 SET column_name = value, column_name = value, ...
 WHERE conditions;

The WHERE clause can use the comparison operators such as =, !=, <, >, <=, and >=, as well as the BETWEEN and LIKE operators.

Example

Suppose you have a table Employee in the database with the 4 records as shown below −

ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
----------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana|15000  |Mumbai 

The following SQL UPDATE statement updates the location and salary of an employee whose name is Kaylan.

ij> UPDATE Employees SET Location = ''Chennai'', Salary = 43000 WHERE Name =
''Kalyan
1 rows inserted/updated/deleted

If you get the contents of the Employees table, you can observe the changes done by the UPDATE query.

ij> select * from Employees;
ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
----------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad 
2  |Kalyan |43000  |Chennai
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana|15000  |Mumbai
4 rows selected

         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";
      String query = "INSERT INTO Employees("
         + "Name, Salary, Location) VALUES "
         + "(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''), "
         + "(''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''), "
         + "(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin''), "
         + "(''Suchatra'', 33000, ''Pune''), "
         + "(''Rahul'', 39000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Trupti'', 45000, ''Kochin'')";
      //Executing the query
      String query = "UPDATE Employees SET Location = ''Chennai'', Salary = 43000 WHERE
         Name = ''Kalyan''";
      int num = stmt.executeUpdate(query);
      System.out.println("Number of records updated are: "+num);
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Number of records updated are: 1 

Apache Derby – Delete Data

The DELETE statement is used to delete rows of a table. Just like the UPDATE statement, Apache Derby provides two types of Delete (syntax): searched delete and positioned delete.

The searched delete statement deletes all the specified columns of a table.

Syntax

The syntax of the DELETE statement is as follows −

ij> DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;

Example

Let us suppose we have a table named employee with 5 records as shown below −

ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana|15000  |Mumbai
5  |Trupti |45000  |Kochin
5 rows selected

The following SQL DELETE statement deletes the record with name Trupti.

ij> DELETE FROM Employees WHERE Name = ''Trupti
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

If you get the contents of the Employees table, you can see only four records as shown below −

ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana|15000  |Mumbai 
4 rows selected

To delete all the records in the table, execute the same query without where clause.

ij> DELETE FROM Employees;
4 rows inserted/updated/deleted 

Now, if you try to get the contents of the Employee table, you will get an empty table as given below −

ij> select * from employees;
ID |NAME |SALARY |LOCATION
--------------------------------------------------------
0 rows selected

      String query = "DELETE FROM Employees WHERE Name = ''Trupthi''";
      int num = stmt.executeUpdate(query);
      System.out.println("Number of records deleted are: "+num);
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Number of records deleted are: 1

Apache Derby – Where Clause

The WHERE clause is used in the SELECT, DELETE or, UPDATE statements to specify the rows on which the operation needs to be carried out. Usually, this clause is followed by a condition or expression which returns a Boolean value, the Select, delete or, update operations are performed only on the rows which satisfy the given condition.

ij> SELECT * from table_name WHERE condition;
or,
ij> DELETE from table_name WHERE condition;
or,
ij> UPDATE table_name SET column_name = value WHERE condition;

The WHERE clause can use the comparison operators such as =,!=, <, >, <=, and >=, as well as the BETWEEN and LIKE operators.

Example

Let us assume we have a table named Employees in the database with 7 records as shown below −

ID |NAME     |SALARY |LOCATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit     |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Kalyan   |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka   |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana  |15000  |Mumbai
5  |Trupthi  |45000  |Kochin
6  |Suchatra |33000  |Pune
7  |Rahul    |39000  |Lucknow 

The following SQL DELETE statement fetches the records of the employees whose salary is more than 35000 −

ij> SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Salary>35000;

This will produce the following output −

ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION 
---------------------------------------------------
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka |50000  |Delhi
5  |Trupthi|45000  |Kochin
7  |Rahul  |39000  |Lucknow
4 rows selected

Similarly, you can also delete and update records using this clause.

Following example updates the location of those whose salary is less than 30000.

ij> UPDATE Employees SET Location = ''Vijayawada'' WHERE Salary<35000;
3 rows inserted/updated/deleted

If you verify the contents of the table, you can see the updated table as shown below −

ij> SELECT * FROM Employees;
ID |NAME    |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit    |30000  |Vijayawada
2  |Kalyan  |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka  |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana |15000  |Vijayawada
5  |Trupthi |45000  |Kochin
6  |Suchatra|33000  |Vijayawada
7  |Rahul   |39000  |Lucknow
7 rows selected

Where clause JDBC example

Step 3: Create a statement object

You need to create a Statement or PreparedStatement or, CallableStatement objects to send SQL statements to the database. You can create these using the methods createStatement(), prepareStatement() and, prepareCall() respectively. Create either of these objects using the appropriate method.

Step 4: Execute the query

After creating a statement, you need to execute it. The Statement class provides various methods to execute a query like the execute() method to execute a statement that returns more than one result set. The executeUpdate() method executes queries like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE. The executeQuery() method results that returns data. Use either of these methods and execute the statement created previously.

Example

Following JDBC example demonstrates how to use WHERE clause and perform CURD operations on a table in Apache Derby using JDBC program. Here, we are connecting to a database named sampleDB (will create if it does not exist) using the embedded driver.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
public class WhereClauseExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating a table and populating it
      String query = "CREATE TABLE Employees("
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";
      String query = "INSERT INTO Employees("
         + "Name, Salary, Location) VALUES "
         + "(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''), "
         + "(''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''), "
         + "(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin''), "
         + "(''Suchatra'', 33000, ''Pune''), "
         + "(''Rahul'', 39000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Trupti'', 45000, ''Kochin'')";
      //Executing the query
      String query = "SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Salary>35000";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while(rs.next()) {
         System.out.println("Id: "+rs.getString("Id"));
         System.out.println("Name: "+rs.getString("Name"));
         System.out.println("Salary: "+rs.getString("Salary"));
         System.out.println("Location: "+rs.getString("Location"));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Id: 2
Name: Kalyan
Salary: 43000
Location: Chennai

Id: 3
Name: Renuka
Salary: 50000
Location: Delhi

Id: 5
Name: Trupthi
Salary: 45000
Location: Kochin

Id: 7
Name: Rahul
Salary: 39000
Location: Lucknow

Apache Derby – GROUP BY Clause

The GROUP BY clause is used with SELECT statements. It is used to form subsets in case of identical data. Usually, this clause is followed by ORDER BY clause and placed after the WHERE clause.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of GROUP BY clause −

ij>SELECT column1, column2, . . . table_name GROUP BY column1, column2, . . .;

Example

Suppose we have a table named Employees in the database with the following records −

ID |NAME    |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit    |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Rahul   |39000  |Lucknow
3  |Renuka  |50000  |Hyderabad
4  |Archana |15000  |Vishakhapatnam
5  |Kalyan  |40000  |Hyderabad
6  |Trupthi |45000  |Vishakhapatnam
7  |Raghav  |12000  |Lucknow
8  |Suchatra|33000  |Vishakhapatnam
9  |Rizwan  |20000  |Lucknow 

The following SELECT statement with GROUP BY clause groups the table based on location. It displays the total amount of salary given to employees at a location.

ij> SELECT Location, SUM(Salary) from Employees GROUP BY Location;

This will generate the following output −

LOCATION       |2
-------------------------------------------------------
Hyderabad      |120000
Lucknow        |71000
Vishakhapatnam |93000
3 rows selected

In the same way, following query finds the average amount spent on the employees as salary in a location.

ij> SELECT Location, AVG(Salary) from Employees GROUP BY Location;

This will generate the following output −

LOCATION       |2
-----------------------------------------------------
Hyderabad      |40000
Lucknow        |23666
Vishakhapatnam |31000
3 rows selected

Group By clause JDBC example

This section teaches you how to use Group By clause and perform CURD operations on a table in Apache Derby database using JDBC application.

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw
ord=PASSWORD

Follow the steps given below to use Group By clause and perform CURD operations on a table in Apache Derby

Step 1: Register the driver

To communicate with the database, first of all, you need to register the driver. The forName() method of the class Class accepts a String value representing a class name loads it in to the memory, which automatically registers it. Register the driver using this method.

Step 2: Get the connection

In general, the first step we do to communicate to the database is to connect with it. The Connection class represents the physical connection with a database server.

      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating a table and populating it
      stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE EmployeesData( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))");
      stmt.execute("INSERT INTO EmployeesData(Name, Salary, Location) "
         + "VALUES (''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Rahul'', 39000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Archana'', 15000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Raghav'', 12000, ''Lucknow''), "
         + "(''Suchatra'', 33000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(''Rizwan'', 20000, ''Lucknow'')");

      //Executing the query
      String query = "SELECT Location, SUM(Salary) from EmployeesData GROUP BY Location";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
      while(rs.next()) {
         System.out.println("Location: "+rs.getString(1));
         System.out.println("Sum of salary: "+rs.getString(2));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Location: Hyderabad
Sum of salary: 120000

Location: Lucknow
Sum of salary: 71000

Location: Vishakhapatnam
Sum of salary: 93000 

Apache Derby – Order By Clause

The ORDER BY clause is used to arrange the contents of the result set in the order it uses the keywords, ASC representing ascending order and DESC representing descending order. If you do not mention either of these, the contents will be arranged in ascending order by default.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the ORDER BY clause −

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC|DESC.

Example

Suppose we have a table named Employees in the database with the following records −

ID |NAME    |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit    |30000  |Vijayawada
2  |Kalyan  |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
3  |Renuka  |50000  |Delhi
4  |Archana |15000  |Vijayawada
5  |Trupthi |45000  |Kochin
6  |Suchatra|33000  |Vijayawada
7  |Rahul   |39000  |Lucknow 

The following query arranges the contents of the table in ascending order based on the name of the Employee.

ij> SELECT * FROM Employees ORDER BY Name;

This will generate the following output −

ID |NAME    |SALARY |LOCATION
---------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit    |30000  |Hyderabad
4  |Archana |15000  |Mumbai
2  |Kalyan  |40000  |Vishakhapatnam 
7  |Rahul   |39000  |Lucknow
3  |Renuka  |50000  |Delhi
6  |Suchatra|33000  |Pune
5  |Trupthi |45000  |Kochin
7 rows selected

Similarly, following query arranges the contents of the table in descending order based on the salary of the Employee −

ij> SELECT * FROM Employees ORDER BY Salary DESC;

This will generate the following output −

ID |NAME     |SALARY |LOCATION
---------------------------------------------------------------
3  |Renuka   |50000  |Delhi
5  |Trupthi  |45000  |Kochin
2  |Kalyan   |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
7  |Rahul    |39000  |Lucknow
6  |Suchatra |33000  |Pune
1  |Amit     |30000  |Hyderabad
4  |Archana  |15000  |Mumbai
7 rows selected

Sorting Data using JDBC program

This section teaches you how to sort the contents of a table in Derby using JDBC. You can arrange records in order using the ORDER BY clause and the keywords ASC (denoting ascending order), and DSC (denoting descending order).

If you want to request the Derby network server using network client, make sure that the server is up and running. The class name for the Network client driver is org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver and the URL is jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/DATABASE_NAME;create=true;user=USER_NAME;passw

         System.out.println("Location: "+rs.getString(2));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Apache Derby – Having Clause

The HAVING Clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the results.

The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the HAVING clause −

ij> SELECT column1, column2 . . . from table_name GROUP BY column having
condition;

Example

Suppose, we have a table named Employees in the database with the 13 records as shown below −

ID |NAME     |SALARY |LOCATION
------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit     |30000  |Hyderabad
2  |Rahul    |39000  |Lucknow
3  |Kalyan   |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
4  |Renuka   |50000  |Hyderabad
5  |Archana  |15000  |Vishakhapatnam
6  |Krishna  |40000  |Hyderabad
7  |Trupthi  |45000  |Vishakhapatnam
8  |Raghav   |12000  |Lucknow
9  |Radha    |50000  |Delhi
10 |Anirudh  |15000  |Mumbai
11 |Tara     |45000  |Kochin
12 |Sucharita|44000  |Kochin
13 |Rizwan   |20000  |Lucknow 

The following query displays maximum salaries of the employees in the location which have at least 3 employees −

ij> SELECT Location, MAX(Salary) from Employees GROUP BY Location having
count(Location)>=3;

This generates the following output −

LOCATION       |2
------------------------------------------------------------
Hyderabad      |50000
Lucknow        |39000
Vishakhapatnam |45000
3 rows selected

         System.out.println(rs.getString(2));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, you will get the following output −

Hyderabad

Apache Derby – Alter Table Statement

The ALTER TABLE statement, allows you to alter an existing table. Using this you can do the following −

  • Add a column, add a constraint

  • Drop a column, drop a constraint

  • Change the row level locking of a table

Let us assume we have created a table named Employees as shown below −

ij> CREATE TABLE Employees (
   Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255),
   PRIMARY KEY (Id)
);

And, inserted four records using the insert statement as −

ij> INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Salary, Location) VALUES
 (''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''),
 (''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''),
 (''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''),
 (''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai'');

Adding a column to a Table

Following is the syntax to add a column to a table using ALTER statement.

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN column_name column_type;

Example

Using ALTER statement, we are trying to add a new column named Age with the type integer.

ALTER TABLE Employees ADD COLUMN Age INT;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Add another column named Phone_No with the type integer.

ALTER TABLE Employees ADD COLUMN Phone_No BIGINT;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

The DESCRIBE command describes specified table by listing the columns and their details, if the table exists. If you DESCRIBE, the table Employees you can observe the newly added columns as shown below −

ij> DESCRIBE Employees;
COLUMN_NAME |TYPE_NAME|DEC&|NUM&|COLUM&|COLUMN_DEF|CHAR_OCTE&|IS_NULL&
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID          |INTEGER  |0   |10   |10   |AUTOINCRE&|NULL      |NO
NAME        |VARCHAR  |NULL|NULL |255  |NULL      | 510      |YES
SALARY      |INTEGER  |0   |10   |10   |NULL      |NULL      |NO
LOCATION    |VARCHAR  |NULL|NULL |255  |NULL      | 510      |YES
AGE         |INTEGER  |0   |10   |10   |NULL      |NULL      |YES
PHONE_NO    |INTEGER  |0   |10   |10   |NULL      |NULL      |YES
6 rows selected

Adding a constraint to a table

Following is the syntax to add a constraint to a column of a table using ALTER statement.

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name constraint (column_name);

Where constraint can be NOT NULL, NULL, PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, FOREIGN KEY, CHECK.

Example

Using ALTER statement, we are trying to add constraint UNIQUE to the Phone_No column.

ij> ALTER TABLE Employees ADD CONSTRAINT New_Constraint UNIQUE(Phone_No);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Once, you add a UNIQUE constraint to a column, it cannot have the same values for two rows, i.e., phone number should be unique for each employee.

If you try to add two columns with a same phone number, you will get an exception as shown below.

ij> INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Salary, Location, Age, Phone_No) VALUES
(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad'', 30, 9848022338);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Salary, Location, Age, Phone_No) VALUES
(''Sumit'', 35000, ''Chennai'', 25, 9848022338);
ERROR 23505: The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate
key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by
''NEW_CONSTRAINT'' defined on ''EMPLOYEES''.

Dropping a constraint from a table

Following is the syntax to drop a constraint of a column −

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name;

Example

The following query deletes the constraint name New_Constraint on the column Phone_No created above.

ij> ALTER TABLE Employees DROP CONSTRAINT New_Constraint;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Since we have removed the UNIQUE constraint on the column Phone_No, you can add columns with the same phone number.

ij> INSERT INTO Employees (Name, Salary, Location, Age, Phone_No) VALUES
(''Sumit'', 35000, ''Chennai'', 25, 9848022338);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

You can verify the contents of the table ij> select * from Employees as follows −

ID |NAME |SALARY |LOCATION |AGE |PHONE_NO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1  |Amit |30000  |Hyderabad|30  |9848022338
2  |Sumit|35000  |Chennai  |25  |9848022338

Dropping a column from a table

Following is the syntax to drop a column of a column.

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

Example

Following query deletes the column named age of the employee

ij> ALTER TABLE Employees DROP COLUMN Age;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

If you describe the table, you can see only 4 columns.

ij> DESCRIBE Employees;
COLUMN_NAME |TYPE_NAME|DEC&|NUM&|COLUM&|COLUMN_DEF|CHAR_OCTE&|IS_NULL&
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID          |INTEGER  |0   |10  |10    |AUTOINCRE&|NULL      |NO
NAME        |VARCHAR  |NULL|NULL|255   |NULL      |510       |YES
SALARY      |INTEGER  |0   |10  |10    |NULL      |NULL      |NO
LOCATION    |VARCHAR  |NULL|NULL|255   |NULL      |510       |YES
PHONE_NO    |BIGINT   |0   |10  |19    |NULL      |NULL      |YES

Altering table using JDBC program

Following is the JDBC program to alter a table using the ALTER query −

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class AlterTableExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Executing the query
      String createQuery = "CREATE TABLE Employees( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";

      stmt.execute(createQuery);
      System.out.println("Table created");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Executing the query
      String insertQuery = "INSERT INTO Employees("
         + "Name, Salary, Location) VALUES "
         + "(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "

      stmt.execute(insertQuery);
      System.out.println("Values inserted");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Executing the query
      String selectQuery = "SELECT * FROM Employees";
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(selectQuery);
      System.out.println("Contents of the table after inserting the table");
      while(rs.next()) {
         System.out.println("Id: "+rs.getString("Id"));
         System.out.println("Name: "+rs.getString("Name"));
         System.out.println("Salary: "+rs.getString("Salary"));
         System.out.println("Location: "+rs.getString("Location"));
      }
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Altering the table
      stmt.execute("ALTER TABLE Employees ADD COLUMN Age INT");
      stmt.execute("ALTER TABLE Employees ADD COLUMN Phone_No BigINT");
      stmt.execute("ALTER TABLE Employees " + "ADD CONSTRAINT New_Constraint UNIQUE(Phone_No)");

      stmt.execute("INSERT INTO Employees "
         + "(Name, Salary, Location, Age, Phone_No) "
         + "VALUES (''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad'', 30, 9848022338)");
      ResultSet alterResult = stmt.executeQuery("Select * from Employees");
      System.out.println("Contents of the table after altering "
         + "the table and inserting values to it: ");
      while(alterResult.next()) {
         System.out.println("Id: "+alterResult.getString("Id"));
         System.out.println("Name: "+alterResult.getString("Name"));
         System.out.println("Salary: "+alterResult.getString("Salary"));
         System.out.println("Location: "+alterResult.getString("Location"));
         System.out.println("Age: "+alterResult.getString("Age"));
         System.out.println("Phone_No: "+alterResult.getString("Phone_No"));
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, the following output will be generated −

Apache Derby – Derby Indexes

An index in a table is nothing but a pointer to its data. These are used to speed up the data retrieval from a table.

If we use indexes, the INSERT and UPDATE statements get executed in a slower phase. Whereas SELECT and WHERE get executed with in lesser time.

Creating an Index

The CREATE INDEX statement is used for creating a new Index in a table in Derby database.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the CREATE INDEX statement −

CTREATE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name);

Example

Suppose we have created a table named Employees in Apache Derby as shown below.

CREATE TABLE Emp ( Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255),
   Phone_Number BIGINT
);

The following SQL statement creates an index on the column named Salary in the table Employees.

ij> CREATE INDEX example_index on Emp (Salary);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Creating a UNIQUE index

In Apache Derby, UNIQUE indexes are used for data integration. Once you create a UNIQUE index on a column in a table, it does not allow duplicate values.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of creating a unique index.

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name);

Example

Following example creates a UNIQUE index on the column Id of the table Employee.

ij> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_index on Emp (Phone_Number);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Once you have created a unique index on a column, you cannot enter same values for that column in another row. In short, a column which is has a UNIQE index will not allow duplicate values.

Insert a row in the Emp table as shown below

ij> INSERT INTO Emp(Name, Salary, Location, Phone_Number) VALUES (''Amit'',
45000, ''Hyderabad'', 9848022338);
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

Since we have created a unique index on the column Phone_No, if you ty to enter the same value as in the previous record, it shows an error.

ij> INSERT INTO Emp(Name, Salary, Location, Phone_Number) VALUES (''Sumit'',
35000, ''Chennai'', 9848022338);
ERROR 23505: The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate
key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by
''UNIQUE_INDEX'' defined on ''EMP''.

Creating a COMPOSITE index

You can create a single index on two rows and it is called Composite index.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the composite index.

CREATE INDEX index_name on table_name (column_name1, column_name2);

Example

Following index creates a composite index on the columns Name and Location.

ij> CREATE INDEX composite_index on Emp (Name, Location);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Displaying the Indexes

The SHOW INDEXES query displays the list of indexes on a table.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the SHOW INDEXES statement −

SHOW INDEXES FROM table_name;

Example

Following example, i displays the indexes on the table Employees.

ij> SHOW INDEXES FROM Emp;

This produces the following result.

ij> SHOW INDEXES FROM Emp;
TABLE_NAME |COLUMN_NAME |NON_U&|TYPE|ASC&|CARDINA&|PAGES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMP        |PHONE_NUMBER|false |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL
EMP        |NAME        |true  |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL
EMP        |LOCATION    |true  |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL
EMP        |SALARY      |true  |3   |A   |NULL    |NULL
4 rows selected

Dropping Indexes

The Drop Index statement deletes/drops the given index on a column.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the DROP INDEX statement.

DROP INDEX index_name;

Example

Following example drops an indexes named composite_index and unique_index created above.

ij> DROP INDEX composite_index;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij>Drop INDEX unique_index;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Now, if you verify the list of indexes you can see index on one column since we have deleted the remaining.

ij> SHOW INDEXES FROM Emp;
TABLE_NAME |COLUMN_NAME |NON_U&|TYPE|ASC&|CARDINA&|PAGES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMP        |SALARY      |true  |3   |A   |NULL     |NULL
1 row selected

Handling Indexes using JDBC program

Following JDBC program demonstrates how to create drop indexes on a column in a table.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class IndexesExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:MYDATABASE;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating the Emp table
      String createQuery = "CREATE TABLE Emp( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Phone_Number BIGINT )";
      stmt.execute(createQuery);
      System.out.println("Table created");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Creating an Index on the column Salary
      stmt.execute("CREATE INDEX example_index on Emp (Salary)");
      System.out.println("Index example_index inserted");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Creating an Unique index on the column Phone_Number
      stmt.execute("CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_index on Emp (Phone_Number)");
      System.out.println("Index unique_index inserted");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //Creating a Composite Index on the columns Name and Location
      stmt.execute("CREATE INDEX composite_index on Emp (Name, Location)");
      System.out.println("Index composite_index inserted");
      System.out.println(" ");

      //listing all the indexes
      System.out.println("Listing all the columns with indexes");

      //Dropping indexes
      System.out.println("Dropping indexes unique_index and, composite_index ");
      stmt.execute("Drop INDEX unique_index");
      stmt.execute("DROP INDEX composite_index");
   }
}

Output

On executing, this generates the following result

Table created
Index example_index inserted

Index unique_index inserted

Index composite_index inserted

Listing all the columns with indexes
Dropping indexes unique_index and, composite_index 

Apache Derby – Procedures

This chapter teaches you how to create and drop procedures in Derby.

Creating a procedure

You can create a procedure using the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.

CREATE PROCEDURE procedure_name (parameter_type parameter_name1, parameter_type
parameter_name2 . . . .) parameter_style;

Example

Suppose, we have created a table in Derby as shown below.

CREATE TABLE Emp ( Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255),
   Phone_Number BIGINT
);

And inserted values in it as follows −

INSERT INTO Employees(Name, Salary, Location) VALUES
(''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''),
(''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''),
(''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''),
(''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''),
(''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin'')";

Following example creates a procedure named Update_Procedure which accepts JAVA parameters.

ij> CREATE PROCEDURE Update_Procedure(IN id INTEGER, IN name VARCHAR(10))
PARAMETER STYLE JAVA READS SQL DATA LANGUAGE JAVA EXTERNAL NAME
''ProcedureExample.testProc
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Where ProcedureExample class looks like −

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
public class ProcedureExample {
   public static void testProc(int salary, String name) throws Exception {
      String connectionURL = "jdbc:derby:MYDATABASE;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL);
      String query = "UPDATE Employees SET SALARY = ? WHERE NAME = ?";
      PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
      pstmt.setInt(1, salary);
      pstmt.setString (2, name);
      pstmt.executeUpdate();
   }
}

You can verify the list of procedures using SHOW PROCEDURES query.

ij> SHOW PROCEDURES;
PROCEDURE_SCHEM |PROCEDURE_NAME        |REMARKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
APP             |UPDATE_PROCEDURE      |ProcedureExample.te&
SALES           |EXAMPLE_ PROCEDURE    |com.example.sales.c&
SQLJ            |INSTALL_JAR           |org.apache.derby.ca&
SQLJ            |REMOVE_JAR            |org.apache.derby.ca&
SQLJ            |REPLACE_JAR           |org.apache.derby.ca&
SYSCS_UTIL      |SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE |org.apache.derby.ca&
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Here you can observe the newly created procedure.

Dropping a procedure

You can drop a procedure using the DROP PROCEDURE statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the DROP PROCEDURE statement.

DROP PROCEDURE procedure_name;

Example

Following example drops a procedure named Update_Procedure created above.

ij> DROP PROCEDURE Update_Procedure;
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Apache Derby – Schemas

A database schema is the skeleton structure that represents the logical view of the entire database. It defines how the data is organized and how the relations among them are associated. It formulates all the constraints that are to be applied to the data.

Creating a Schema

You can create a schema in Apache Derby using the CREATE SCHEMA statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax to the CREATE SCHEMA statement.

CREATE SCHEMA schema_name AUTHORIZATION id

Example

Following example creates a schema named my_schema in Derby database.

ij> CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION my_schema;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Then, you can create a table in this schema as shown below.

ij> CREATE TABLE my_schema.Emp ( Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255),
   Phone_Number BIGINT
);
> > > > > 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

You can verify the list of schemas using the SHOW SCHEMAS query here you can find the list of schemas created.

ij> show schemas;
TABLE_SCHEM
------------------------------
APP
MY_SCHEMA
NULLID
SQLJ
SYS
SYSCAT
SYSCS_DIAG
SYSCS_UTIL
SYSFUN
SYSIBM
SYSPROC
SYSSTAT
12 rows selected

Dropping a Schema

You can drop an existing schema using the DROP SCHEMA statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of DROPS SCHEMA statement.

DROP SCHEMA my_schema RESTRICT;

Example

You can delete a schema only if does not have any objects in it. To delete the schema, delete all the tables in it and delete the schema.

ij> DROP TABLE my_schema.Emp;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

Following example drops the above created schema.

ij> DROP SCHEMA my_schema RESTRICT;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

JDBC Example

Following JDBC example creates and drops a schema named my_schema.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class CreateSchemaExample {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
      //Registering the driver
      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:sampleDB;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      stmt.execute("CREATE SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION my_schema");
      //Executing the query
      String query = "CREATE TABLE my_schema.Employees( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255), "
         + "PRIMARY KEY (Id))";
      stmt.execute(query);
      System.out.println("Table created in schema");
      stmt.execute("DROP TABLE my_schema.Employees");
      stmt.execute("DROP SCHEMA my_schema RESTRICT");
      System.out.println("Schema dropped");
   }
}

Output

On executing, the above program generates the following example.

Table created in schema
Schema dropped

Apache Derby – Triggers

In databases, triggers are the statements/code which gets executed whenever an event occurred. Once you create a trigger to a particular event on a table, the code specified in the trigger gets executed each time the event occurs. You can create multiple triggers on a single table.

This chapter teaches you how to create and drop triggers using Apache Derby.

Creating a trigger

You can create a trigger in Derby using the CREATE TRIGGER statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the CREATE TRIGGER query.

CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name
{ NO CASCADE BEFORE | AFTER }
{INSERT [OR] | UPDATE [OR] | DELETE}[OF col_name]
ON table_name
[REFERENCING OLD AS o NEW AS n]
[FOR EACH ROW]
Statement

Example

Suppose, we have created a table named Emp in Derby as shown below.

CREATE TABLE Emp (
   Id INT NOT NULL,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255) 
);

And inserted 5 rows in it.

INSERT INTO Emp(Id, Name, Salary, Location) VALUES
(1, ''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), 
(2, ''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''),
(3,''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''), 
(4, ''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''), 
(5, ''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin'');

If we have another table named BackUp and our intention is to store deleted rows from Emp table in this.

CREATE TABLE BackUp (
   Id INT NOT NULL,
   Name VARCHAR(255),
   Salary INT NOT NULL,
   Location VARCHAR(255)
);

The following query creates a trigger on the DELETE query table named Emp. It stores the deleted rows of Emp to the table Backup.

ij> CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger
AFTER DELETE ON Emp
REFERENCING OLD AS oldRow
FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2SQL
INSERT INTO BackUp
VALUES (oldRow.Id, oldRow.Name, oldRow.Salary, oldRow.Location);

Now, delete a row from Emp table as −

ij> Delete From Emp where Name = ''Kalyan
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> Delete From Emp where Name = ''Amit
1 row inserted/updated/deleted

If you verify the BackUp table, you can observe the deleted rows in it.

ij> select * from BackUp;
ID |NAME   |SALARY |LOCATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2  |Kalyan |40000  |Vishakhapatnam
1  |Amit   |30000  |Hyderabad

2 rows selected

Deleting a trigger

You can delete a trigger in Derby using the DROP TRIGGER statement.

Syntax

Following is the syntax of the DROP TRIGGER query −

ij> Drop trigger tigger_name;

Example

Following example deletes the trigger my_trigger created above −

ij> Drop trigger my_trigger;
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted

JDBC example

Following JDBC program creates and deletes triggers in Derby.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Triggers_Example {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {

      Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
      //Getting the Connection object
      String URL = "jdbc:derby:TestDataBase;create=true";
      Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);

      //Creating the Statement object
      Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

      //Creating the Emp table
      stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE Emp ( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255))");

      //Insert values in to the EMp table
      String query = "INSERT INTO Emp(Id, Name, Salary, Location) VALUES rn"
         +"(1, ''Amit'', 30000, ''Hyderabad''), "
         + "(2, ''Kalyan'', 40000, ''Vishakhapatnam''), "
         + "(3,''Renuka'', 50000, ''Delhi''), "
         + "(4, ''Archana'', 15000, ''Mumbai''), "
         + "(5, ''Trupthi'', 45000, ''Kochin'')";
         stmt.execute(query);

      //Creating the BackUp table
      stmt.execute("CREATE TABLE BackUp ( "
         + "Id INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Name VARCHAR(255), "
         + "Salary INT NOT NULL, "
         + "Location VARCHAR(255))");

      //Creating a trigger
      String createTrigger = "CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger "
         + "AFTER DELETE ON Emp "
         + "REFERENCING OLD AS oldRow "
         + "FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2SQL "
         + "INSERT INTO BackUp "
         + "VALUES (oldRow.Id, oldRow.Name, oldRow.Salary, oldRow.Location)";
      stmt.execute(createTrigger);
      System.out.println("Trigger created");

      //Deleting records from Emp table
      stmt.executeUpdate("Delete From Emp where Name = ''Kalyan''");
      stmt.executeUpdate("Delete From Emp where Name = ''Amit''");
      //Getting the contents of BackUp table
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from BackUp");
      while(rs.next()){
         System.out.println(rs.getInt("Id"));
         System.out.println(rs.getString("Name"));
         System.out.println(rs.getString("Salary"));
         System.out.println(rs.getString("Location"));
         System.out.println(" ");
      }
   }
}

Output

On executing the above program, the following output is generated −
