Question

I have created a remote sql server 2005 database.

I need to get some data from it. How can I do this?
I would be glad if you gave me the code and tell me where I need to insert each thing (like username, password, sever etc.)

Thank you and have a good day!

Answer 1

I suggest you use the features of the standard library in the package java.sql. The DriverManager should have what you need. An example of a connection could look something like this (depending on what driver you use – replace the “com.mysql.jdbc.Driver” with the driver you need):

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
                        "jdbc:mysql://insert_address_here/",
                        "user","password");
Statement statement   = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery(
     "SELECT * FROM sometable WHERE id = 1");

.. Just as an example. See more examples in java2s. Particularly under DriverManager and [ResultSet4.
