## Interface JdbcRowSet

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Joinable, ResultSet, RowSet, Wrapper

      public interface JdbcRowSet
      extends RowSet, Joinable

  The standard interface that all standard implementations of `JdbcRowSet` must implement.

  ### 1.0 Overview

  A wrapper around a `ResultSet` object that makes it possible to use the result set as a JavaBeans™ component. Thus, a `JdbcRowSet` object can be one of the Beans that a tool makes available for composing an application. Because a `JdbcRowSet` is a connected rowset, that is, it continually maintains its connection to a database using a JDBC technology-enabled driver, it also effectively makes the driver a JavaBeans component.

  Because it is always connected to its database, an instance of `JdbcRowSet` can simply take calls invoked on it and in turn call them on its `ResultSet` object. As a consequence, a result set can, for example, be a component in a Swing application.

  Another advantage of a `JdbcRowSet` object is that it can be used to make a `ResultSet` object scrollable and updatable. All `RowSet` objects are by default scrollable and updatable. If the driver and database being used do not support scrolling and/or updating of result sets, an application can populate a `JdbcRowSet` object with the data of a `ResultSet` object and then operate on the `JdbcRowSet` object as if it were the `ResultSet` object.

  ### 2.0 Creating a `JdbcRowSet` Object

  The reference implementation of the `JdbcRowSet` interface, `JdbcRowSetImpl`, provides an implementation of the default constructor. A new instance is initialized with default values, which can be set with new values as needed. A new instance is not really functional until its `execute` method is called. In general, this method does the following:
  - establishes a connection with a database
  - creates a `PreparedStatement` object and sets any of its placeholder parameters
  - executes the statement to create a `ResultSet` object
  If the `execute` method is successful, it will set the appropriate private `JdbcRowSet` fields with the following:
  - a `Connection` object -- the connection between the rowset and the database
  - a `PreparedStatement` object -- the query that produces the result set
  - a `ResultSet` object -- the result set that the rowset's command produced and that is being made, in effect, a JavaBeans component
  If these fields have not been set, meaning that the `execute` method has not executed successfully, no methods other than `execute` and `close` may be called on the rowset. All other public methods will throw an exception.

  Before calling the `execute` method, however, the command and properties needed for establishing a connection must be set. The following code fragment creates a `JdbcRowSetImpl` object, sets the command and connection properties, sets the placeholder parameter, and then invokes the method `execute`.

           JdbcRowSetImpl jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl();
           jrs.setCommand("SELECT * FROM TITLES WHERE TYPE = ?");
           jrs.setURL("jdbc:myDriver:myAttribute");
           jrs.setUsername("cervantes");
           jrs.setPassword("sancho");
           jrs.setString(1, "BIOGRAPHY");
           jrs.execute();

  The variable `jrs` now represents an instance of `JdbcRowSetImpl` that is a thin wrapper around the `ResultSet` object containing all the rows in the table `TITLES` where the type of book is biography. At this point, operations called on `jrs` will affect the rows in the result set, which is effectively a JavaBeans component.

  The implementation of the `RowSet` method `execute` in the `JdbcRowSet` reference implementation differs from that in the `CachedRowSet`™ reference implementation to account for the different requirements of connected and disconnected `RowSet` objects.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getShowDeleted

          boolean getShowDeleted()
                          throws SQLException

      Retrieves a `boolean` indicating whether rows marked for deletion appear in the set of current rows. If `true` is returned, deleted rows are visible with the current rows. If `false` is returned, rows are not visible with the set of current rows. The default value is `false`.

      Standard rowset implementations may choose to restrict this behavior for security considerations or for certain deployment scenarios. The visibility of deleted rows is implementation-defined and does not represent standard behavior.

      Note: Allowing deleted rows to remain visible complicates the behavior of some standard JDBC `RowSet` implementations methods. However, most rowset users can simply ignore this extra detail because only very specialized applications will likely want to take advantage of this feature.

      Returns:
        `true` if deleted rows are visible; `false` otherwise
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a rowset implementation is unable to to determine whether rows marked for deletion remain visible
      See Also:
        `setShowDeleted(boolean)`

    - #### setShowDeleted

          void setShowDeleted(boolean b)
                       throws SQLException

      Sets the property `showDeleted` to the given `boolean` value. This property determines whether rows marked for deletion continue to appear in the set of current rows. If the value is set to `true`, deleted rows are immediately visible with the set of current rows. If the value is set to `false`, the deleted rows are set as invisible with the current set of rows.

      Standard rowset implementations may choose to restrict this behavior for security considerations or for certain deployment scenarios. This is left as implementation-defined and does not represent standard behavior.

      Parameters:
        `b` - `true` if deleted rows should be shown; `false` otherwise
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a rowset implementation is unable to to reset whether deleted rows should be visible
      See Also:
        `getShowDeleted()`

    - #### getRowSetWarnings

          RowSetWarning getRowSetWarnings()
                                   throws SQLException

      Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this `JdbcRowSet` object. If a second warning was reported on this `JdbcRowSet` object, it will be chained to the first warning and can be retrieved by calling the method `RowSetWarning.getNextWarning` on the first warning. Subsequent warnings on this `JdbcRowSet` object will be chained to the `RowSetWarning` objects returned by the method `RowSetWarning.getNextWarning`. The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a new row is read. This method may not be called on a `RowSet` object that has been closed; doing so will cause an `SQLException` to be thrown.

      Because it is always connected to its data source, a `JdbcRowSet` object can rely on the presence of active `Statement`, `Connection`, and `ResultSet` instances. This means that applications can obtain additional `SQLWarning` notifications by calling the `getNextWarning` methods that they provide. Disconnected `Rowset` objects, such as a `CachedRowSet` object, do not have access to these `getNextWarning` methods.

      Returns:
        the first `RowSetWarning` object reported on this `JdbcRowSet` object or `null` if there are none
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if this method is called on a closed `JdbcRowSet` object
      See Also:
        `RowSetWarning`

    - #### commit

          void commit()
               throws SQLException

      Each `JdbcRowSet` contains a `Connection` object from the `ResultSet` or JDBC properties passed to it's constructors. This method wraps the `Connection` commit method to allow flexible auto commit or non auto commit transactional control support.

      Makes all changes made since the previous commit/rollback permanent and releases any database locks currently held by this Connection object. This method should be used only when auto-commit mode has been disabled.

      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this Connection object within this `JdbcRowSet` is in auto-commit mode
      See Also:
        `Connection.setAutoCommit(boolean)`

    - #### getAutoCommit

          boolean getAutoCommit()
                         throws SQLException

      Each `JdbcRowSet` contains a `Connection` object from the original `ResultSet` or JDBC properties passed to it. This method wraps the `Connection`'s `getAutoCommit` method to allow an application to determine the `JdbcRowSet` transaction behavior.

      Sets this connection's auto-commit mode to the given state. If a connection is in auto-commit mode, then all its SQL statements will be executed and committed as individual transactions. Otherwise, its SQL statements are grouped into transactions that are terminated by a call to either the method commit or the method rollback. By default, new connections are in auto-commit mode.

      Returns:
        `true` if auto-commit is enabled; `false` otherwise
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
      See Also:
        `Connection.getAutoCommit()`

    - #### setAutoCommit

          void setAutoCommit(boolean autoCommit)
                      throws SQLException

      Each `JdbcRowSet` contains a `Connection` object from the original `ResultSet` or JDBC properties passed to it. This method wraps the `Connection`'s `getAutoCommit` method to allow an application to set the `JdbcRowSet` transaction behavior.

      Sets the current auto-commit mode for this `Connection` object.

      Parameters:
        `autoCommit` - `true` to enable auto-commit; `false` to disable auto-commit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
      See Also:
        `Connection.setAutoCommit(boolean)`

    - #### rollback

          void rollback()
                 throws SQLException

      Each `JdbcRowSet` contains a `Connection` object from the original `ResultSet` or JDBC properties passed to it. Undoes all changes made in the current transaction and releases any database locks currently held by this `Connection` object. This method should be used only when auto-commit mode has been disabled.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this `Connection` object within this `JdbcRowSet` is in auto-commit mode.
      See Also:
        `rollback(Savepoint)`

    - #### rollback

          void rollback(Savepoint s)
                 throws SQLException

      Each `JdbcRowSet` contains a `Connection` object from the original `ResultSet` or JDBC properties passed to it. Undoes all changes made in the current transaction to the last set savepoint and releases any database locks currently held by this `Connection` object. This method should be used only when auto-commit mode has been disabled.
      Parameters:
        `s` - The `Savepoint` to rollback to
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this `Connection` object within this `JdbcRowSet` is in auto-commit mode.
      See Also:
        `rollback()`
