Question

I am already connected to my database:

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(
    "jdbc:mysql://instance23389.db.xeround.com:15296/Inventory","user","password");
PreparedStatement Statement = con.prepareStatement("Select * from inventory");
ResultSet result = Statement.executeQuery();
while(result.next()) {
    //What to put here?
}

This is the arraylist I want stored in that database:

static ArrayList<Product> Chart=new ArrayList<Product>();

And that has these objects stored in the arraylist:

double Total;
String name;
double quantity;
String unit;
double ProductPrice;

What is the general code I need to use to get the arraylist to be stored in the MySQL database?
What is the general code I need to use to get the arraylist out of the MySQL database?

Answer 1

This is a template of what to use for retrieving & populating the Arraylist productList

while (result.next()) {

    Product product = new Product();

    product.setTotal(result.getDouble("Total"));
    product.setName(result.getString("Name"));
    // etc.

    productList.add(product);
}

In the meantime, I invite you to have a look at:
