<h1 class="topictitle1">Use DB2CachedRowSet</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Because the DB2CachedRowSet object can be disconnected and serialized,
|
||
|
|
it is useful in environments where it is not always practical to run a full
|
||
|
|
JDBC driver (for example, on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and Java-enabled
|
||
|
|
cell phones).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Since the DB2CachedRowSet object is contained in memory and its data is
|
||
|
|
always known, it can serve as a highly optimized form of a scrollable ResultSet
|
||
|
|
for applications. Whereas DB2ResultSets that are scrollable typically pay
|
||
|
|
a performance penalty because their random movements interfere with the JDBC
|
||
|
|
driver's ability to cache rows of data, RowSets do not have this issue.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Two methods are provided on DB2CachedRowSet that create new RowSets:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The createCopy method creates a new RowSet that is identical to the copied
|
||
|
|
one.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The createShared method creates a new RowSet that shares the same underlying
|
||
|
|
data as the original.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the createCopy method to hand out common ResultSets to clients.
|
||
|
|
If the table data is not changing, creating a copy of a RowSet and passing
|
||
|
|
it to each client is more efficient than running a query against the database
|
||
|
|
each time.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the createShared method to improve your database's performance
|
||
|
|
by allowing several people to use the same data. For example, assume that
|
||
|
|
you have a Web site that shows the top twenty best-selling products on your
|
||
|
|
home page when a customer connects. You want the information on your main
|
||
|
|
page to be updated regularly, but running the query to get the most frequently
|
||
|
|
purchased items every time a customer visits your main page is not practical.
|
||
|
|
Using the createShared method, you can effectively create "cursors" for each
|
||
|
|
customer without having to either process the query again or store an enormous
|
||
|
|
amount of information in memory. When appropriate, the query to find the most
|
||
|
|
frequently purchased products can be run again. The new data can populate
|
||
|
|
the RowSet that is used to create the shared cursors and the servlets can
|
||
|
|
use them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>DB2CachedRowSets provide a delayed processing feature. This feature allows
|
||
|
|
multiple query requests to be grouped together and processed against the database
|
||
|
|
as a single request. This is an example of <a href="crdb2cac.htm">using
|
||
|
|
DB2CachedRowSets</a> to eliminate some of the computational stress that
|
||
|
|
the database would otherwise be under.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because the RowSet must keep careful track of any changes that happen to
|
||
|
|
it so that they are reflected back to the database, there is support for functions
|
||
|
|
that undo changes or allow you to see all changes have been made. For example,
|
||
|
|
there is a showDeleted method that can be used to tell the RowSet to let you
|
||
|
|
fetch deleted rows. There are also cancelRowInsert and cancelRowDelete methods
|
||
|
|
to undo row insertions and deletions, respectfully, after they have been made.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The DB2CachedRowSet object offers better interoperability with other Java™ APIs
|
||
|
|
because of its event handling support and its toCollection methods that allow
|
||
|
|
a RowSet or a portion of it to be converted into a Java collection.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The event handling support of DB2CachedRowSet can be used in graphical
|
||
|
|
user interface (GUI) applications to control displays, for logging information
|
||
|
|
about changes to the RowSet as they are made, or to find information about
|
||
|
|
changes to sources other than RowSets. See <a href="db2rowev.htm">Example:
|
||
|
|
DB2JdbcRowSet events</a> for details.</p>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
this support works identically for both types of RowSets. </p>
