ResultSets

The ResultSet interface provides access to the results generated by running queries. Conceptually, data of a ResultSet can be thought of as a table with a specific number of columns and a specific number of rows. By default, the table rows are retrieved in sequence. Within a row, column values can be accessed in any order.

• ResultSet characteristics
  This topic discusses ResultSet characteristics such ResultSet types, concurrency, ability to close the ResultSet by committing the connection object, and specification of ResultSet characteristics.
• Cursor movement
  The iSeries™ Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers support scrollable ResultSets. With a scrollable ResultSet, you can process rows of data in any order using a number of cursor-positioning methods.
• Retrieve ResultSet data
  The ResultSet object provides several methods for obtaining column data for a row. All are of the form get<Type>, where <Type> is a Java™ data type. Some examples of these methods include getInt, getLong, getString, getTimestamp, and getBlob. Nearly all of these methods take a single parameter that is either the column index within the ResultSet or the column name.
• Change ResultSets
  With the iSeries™ JDBC drivers, you can change ResultSets by performing several tasks.
• Create ResultSets
  To create a ResultSet object, you can use executeQuery methods, or other methods. This article describes options for creating ResultSets.
