Querying SQLite in Java - lightweight? - java

I need to execute one query in my program on a SQLite database. If I use the sqlite jdbc it is 3,5 Mb large. Is there no other simple solution for executing just one select query without needing a dependency that is so huge.

You may try SQLJet if you don't need to have full JDBC compliance. JAR is about 760Kb. And yes, technically, the library doesn't provide a SQL engine, it's an API which allows to select and fetch records from a sqlite database. Depending on your needs current and future it may or may not be suitable for you. I successfully use it inone small project to load records from a ~2.6GB sqlite DB and process them as needed.

How to use COPY table command of Oracle DBMS using JDBC?

I'm trying copy table from one database to another(On different machines), and using JDBC Template to execute query, but this request is specific to Oracle:
COPY FROM username1/passwd1#//192.168.3.17:1521/PROD_SERVICE to username2/passwd2#//192.168.4.17:1521/SANDBOX_SERVICE INSERT TABLE_C (*) USING (SELECT * FROM TABLE_C);
And I get error:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
How can I use specific to Oracle syntax in JDBC?
Like some of the comments have already clarified, COPY is a sqlplus command, and it has been deprecated for a while. You cannot use it inside JAVA, because this command is not part of the SQL engine, it's just a kind of additional feature available only in sqlplus. It is still available, but only for backwards compatibility.
If you want to copy a table using Java, you need to understand first some things:
Java, or any external engine for that matter, can't connect at the same time to both databases. Either it connects to one or to the other.
You need to have a kind of bridge between both databases, so that your Java program is only acting as trigger.
Copying tables between databases is something related to the database, so you should think in using tools provided by your database engine. You have some options, like Datapump or RMAN, although I consider Datapump the best suitable for your scenario.
However, if you insist in using Java, first you need to have a database link between both databases. Then you can use Java to invoke an insert from one database to another.
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/statements_5006.htm#SQLRF01205
If you don't want to depend on thsnames entries in the server, here an example of database links:
CREATE DATABASE LINK to_my_remote_user
CONNECT TO remote_user IDENTIFIED BY password
USING '(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=remote_server)(PORT=remote_port))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=remote_service_name))
)';
Once you have the dblink created, then you can connect from java to the database where the link is available and copy the data to the remote database
INSERT INTO remote_user.remote_table#to_my_remote_user
select * from local_user.local_table ;
Important: Normally dblinks are not allowed on Production systems, because they increase security risks. Also remember that DDL operations over a database link require an extra step, such as using the procedure DBMS_UTILITY.EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT#dblink('create table ...);
Another option outside of Java is using SQL Developer copy feature. Although I only recommend it for small tables. If you want to use it with big tables, it will probably hang. You can read here an good example :
copy from one database to another using oracle sql developer - connection failed

Write sql insert and update queries while saving or updating in h2 database programatically

I am trying to create a local project for my learning purpose in which I am using h2 as in-memory database.
I am using spring-jpa for my project.
I was wondering is there any way we can take dump of data or writing logs (in this case queries) in a file.
Why do I need this?
so, as h2 is an in-memory database, whenever project ends it deletes all the data.
what I want to get all the data when I re-run the process again.
Tried on searching on internet couldn't find anything.
Instead of using H2, which is solely in-memory, consider using SQLite, which can create a file and will be left behind after the application is terminated.
H2 is not an in-memory database system, H2 supports both persistent and in-memory databases. If you need to preserve your data, use file-based database with jdbc:h2:./somename URL, where ./somename is relative (must starts with ./) or absolute path to the database file without extension.
https://www.h2database.com/html/features.html#database_url
Of course, you can export your data into external file even if you use an in-memory database with SCRIPT TO 'filename.sql' command of H2, but there are no good reasons to use that functionality together with in-memory database instead of persistent one. Such dumps are usually used for migration.

How do I implement the UnityJDBC in my Java project?

i have a project am working on, its all about querying a data from multiple databases from different vendors (i mean querying databases like mysql, hsqldb, microsoft sql, oracle, etc at the same time using one query statement).
Though i have achieved this by loading each driver of the database connector sequentially and execute the query sequentially across the databases. But the project architecture is such that when i sent a query statement, it shouldgo simultaneously to each database and retrieve the item ifavailable in all databases involved.
I came across this unityjdbc software, a mediation software but dont know how to implement it in my java source file so that to achieve my aim. I have read the unityjdbc user manual but is not clear and straight-forward.
Please can anyone advise how toimplement this unityjdbc driver in my java application and use it to successful query multiple databases.
Suggestions for any other way to simultaneously query their multiple databases with a single statement would also be welcome.
UnityJDBC allows you to query multiple databases in one SQL query. You cannot do this using separate threads as you would then be responsible for merging the data from the multiple databases yourself in your Java program.
The setup steps are easy:
Use the SourceBuilder application to specify the JDBC connection information to your databases.
Test a sample query that accesses multiple databases. Standard SQL is supported. To reference tables in different databases use databaseName.tableName in your FROM clause.
For example:
SELECT *
FROM Database1.Table1 T1 INNER JOIN Database2.Table2 T2 ON T1.id = T2.id
The SourceBuilder application will provide an XML configuration file as output often called sources.xml. To use this in your own Java program or any software that supports JDBC the connection URL is: jdbc:unity://sources.xml You may specify an absolute or relative path to the sources.xml file.
There is documentation on their site at http://www.unityjdbc.com/support/ or contact them for free support.
Another way to get started quickly is to use the MultiSource SQL Plugin that comes with the open source query software SQuirreL SQL. The plugin will allow you to query any number of databases using SQL in SQuirreL and will generate the XML configuration files for you to use in other programs. The plugin is open source and free. The plugin also supports querying and joining NoSQL databases like MongoDB with relational databases such as MySQL and Postgres.
You don't need UnityJDBC for what you want to do, if you've already managed to load all the db-specific JDBC drivers.
Instead, you should look at doing each query in a separate thread. That way, you don't need to wait for one database to return its results before querying the next one.

SQL Server To MY SQL

I got a new project from my teacher to convert database to another. How can I convert a MS SQL database into MySQL using Java?
You will want to keep in mind that there are two logical steps regardless of the Programming environment. Firstly, you will want to map the schema of the database to an equivalent schema in the target database. This means mapping data types and constraints. Sometimes there are cases where it is simply not possible. Secondly, mapping the data from one database to the other. Timestamps and date formats must be equivalent for example. Hope that helps you to get started.
How can I convert a MS SQL database into MYSQL using JAVA
Dump it ( from MSSQL) and execute the result in Mysql.
With a question like that it's the best answer you can give
You could also try to use the hibernate tools to create a mapping to the MS SQL tables. Then use hibernate again with the created mapping to create the tables in MySQL.
Look at the various metadata classes in JDBC:
java.sql.DatabaseMetaData
java.sql.ResultSetMetaData
These will allow you to get the structure from the MSSQL DB. You need to do a little experimentation as, if memory serves, what gets returned in the metadata can vary from database to database.
Once you've worked out how to get the metadata from the MSSQL DB you need to convert that into SQL commands to recreate the structure in the MySQL DB.
Then with the structure in place you can start copying the data between the two by creating insert queries that run against the MySQL DB from querying the contents of the MSSQL DB. You'll need to do this in the correct order so that the referential integrity isn't violated which again you'll be able to determine from the metadata.
It's an interesting academic exercise but in the real-world you'd use an Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) tool.

Any WorkAround For Java ResultSet Limitation

I am doing a database migration work. I have to copy a database in MSSQL to MySql database. It was possible to come up with a small java utility to copy table stucture from MSSQL to MySql Database. Now i have to copy all data from MSSQL to MySql. I tried using resultset in java to obtain all data from a table but then it could only fetch a small part of data. Is there any alternate solution to get all data from table to resultset or to some other similar structure which i could possibly use, to insert the same data into mysql Db. There are more than 25,00,000 records for a table.
A JDBC result set should in principle allow you to iterate the entirity of a large query result.
However going via Java may not be the most efficient approach. Bulk export to a file and bulk import may be the way to go. It appears that MS has a bcp utility that may do the export.
The best way to achieve a database migration like you describe is to use and ETL Tool - there's a good overview of ETL here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract,_transform,_load
There's no reason why you wouldn't be able to do this with JDBC and so if you are set on rolling your own please elaborate on 'could only fetch a small part of data':
what is the query you are running?
are you getting an exception?
which JDBC driver are you using to connect to MS-SQL?
