which do not return a resultset.

16 How many transaction isolation levels provide the JDBC through the A 1
Connection interface?

a)3

b)4

c)7

D)2

Answer: b

Explanation:

17 Which of the following method is static and synchronized in JDBC API? U 1

getConnection()

prepareCall()

executeUpdate()

executeQuery()

Answer: A

Explanation: A Java application using the JDBC API establishes a

connection to a database by obtaining a Connection object. The standard
way to obtain a Connection object is to call the method
DriverManager.getConnection() method that accepts a String contains the
database connection URL. It is a static and synchronized method.

18 Which methods are required to load a database driver in JDBC? U 1

getConnection()

registerDriver()

forName()
 Both b and c

Answer: d

Explanation: There are two ways to load a database driver in JDBC:

By using the registerDriver() Method: To access the database through a Java

application, we must register the installed driver in our program. We can do
this with the registerDriver() method that belongs to the DriverManager
class. The registerDriver() method takes as input a driver class, that is, a
class that implements the java.sql.Driver interface, as is the case with
OracleDriver.

By using the Class.forName() Method: Alternatively, we can also use the

forName() method of the java.lang.Class to load the JDBC drivers directly.
However, this method is valid only for JDK-compliant Java virtual
machines. It is invalid for Microsoft JVMs.

19 Parameterized queries can be executed by? U 1

ParameterizedStatement

PreparedStatement

CallableStatement and Parameterized Statement

All kinds of Statements

Answer: b

Explanation: The PreparedStatement interface extends the Statement

interface. It represents a precompiled SQL statement that can be executed
multiple times. It accepts parameterized SQL quires. We can pass 0 or more
parameters to this query.

20 Which of the following is not a valid statement in JDBC? U 1

Statement

PreparedStatement

QueryStatement

CallableStatement

Answer: c

Explanation:Statement: Use this for general-purpose access to your

database. It is useful when we are using static SQL statements at runtime.
The Statement interface cannot accept parameters.
 PreparedStatement: It represents the pre-compiled SQL statements that can
be executed multiple times.

CallableStatement: It is used to execute SQL stored procedures.

QueryStatement: It is not supported by JDBC.

21 Identify the isolation level that prevents the dirty in the JDBC Connection U 1
class?

TRANSACTION_READABLE_READ

TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED

TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED

TRANSACTION_NONE

Answer: b

Explanation: The isolation level TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED

prevents the dirty read but non-repeatable reads and phantom reads can
occur.

22 What does setAutoCommit(false) do? R 1

It will not commit transactions automatically after each query.

It explicitly commits the transaction.

It never commits the transactions.

It does not commit transaction automatically after each query.

Answer: b

Explanation: The way to allow two or more statements to be grouped into a

transaction is to disable the auto-commit mode. After the auto-commit mode
is disabled, no SQL statements are committed until we call the commit()
method explicitly.

23 What should be the correct order to close the database resource?What R 1

should be the correct order to close the database resource?

Connection, Statements, and then ResultSet

ResultSet, Connection, and then Statements

Statements, ResultSet, and then Connection

ResultSet, Statements, and then Connection

 Answer: d

Explanation: The golden rule to JDBC connections and statements is to

close in the reverse order of initiation or opening. In addition, the ResultSet
is dependant on the execution of the Statement and the Statement is
dependant on the Connection instance. Hence, the closing should occur in
that order (ResultSet, Statement, and then Connection).

24 What should be the correct order to close the database resource?What R 1

should be the correct order to close the database resource?

Connection, Statements, and then ResultSet

ResultSet, Connection, and then Statements

Statements, ResultSet, and then Connection

ResultSet, Statements, and then Connection

Answer: d

Explanation: The golden rule to JDBC connections and statements is to

close in the reverse order of initiation or opening. In addition, the ResultSet
is dependant on the execution of the Statement and the Statement is
dependant on the Connection instance. Hence, the closing should occur in
that order (ResultSet, Statement, and then Connection).

25 A good way to debug JDBC-related problems is to enable???..? R 1

JDBC tracing

Exception handling

Both a and b

Only b

Answer: a

Explanation: The JDBC Driver supports both DriverManager and

DataSource tracing as documented in the JDBC 3.0 API specification. Trace
information consists of JDBC API method entry and exit points with the
corresponding parameter and returns values. DriverManager.setLogWriter
method to send trace messages to a PrintWriter. The trace output contains a
detailed listing of the JDBC activity.

26 Which JDBC driver can be used in servlet and applet both? U 1

 ype 3

Type 4

Type 3 and Type 2

Type 3 and Type 4

Answer: d

Explanation: Type 3 driver follows the three-tier approach which is used to

access the databases. The JDBC clients use standard network sockets to
communicate with a middleware application server. In a Type 4 driver, a
pure Java-based driver that communicates directly with the vendor's
database through a socket connection.

27 JDBC-ODBC driver is also known as? R 1

Type 4

Type 3

Type 1

Type 2

Answer: c

Explanation: Type 1 driver is also known as the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver.

It is a database driver implementation that employs the ODBC driver to
connect to the database. The driver converts JDBC method calls into ODBC
function calls.

28 Which of the following driver is the fastest one? U 1

JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver

Native API Partly Java Driver

Network Protocol Driver

JDBC Net Pure Java Driver

Answer: d

Explanation: JDBC Net pure Java driver (Type 4) is the fastest driver
because it converts the JDBC calls into vendor-specific protocol calls and it
directly interacts with the database.

29 Which of the following is not a type of ResultSet object? U 1

 TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY

CONCUR_WRITE_ONLY

TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE

TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE

Answer: b

Explanation: There are three types of ResultSet object:

TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY: This is the default type and the cursor can only
move forward in the result set.

TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE: The cursor can move forward and

backward, and the result set is not sensitive to changes made by others to the
database after the result set was created.

TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE: The cursor can move forward and

backward, and the result set is sensitive to changes made by others to the
database after the result set was created.

Based on the concurrency there are two types of ResultSet object.

CONCUR_READ_ONLY: The ResultSet is read-only, this is the default

concurrency type.

CONCUR_UPDATABLE: We can use the ResultSet update method to

update the rows data.

30 What is JDBC Savepoint? R 1

An intermediate or checkpoint in a transaction

A point where we can store queries

A point where the JDBC application starts execution

A memory where we can store transaction

32 Which of the following is the correct to register a JdbcOdbcDriver? U 1

jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver obj = new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();

odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver obj = new sun.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();

jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver obj = new sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();

jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc obj = new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc();

Answer: a

Explanation: By creating an object to the driver class of the driver software,

we can register the driver. To register the JdbcOdbcDriver of the sun
microsystems, we can create an object to the driver class JdbcOdbcDriver,
as follows:

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver obj = new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();

33 How many ways to register a driver? A 1

5
 Answer: c

Explanation: There are four ways to register a driver:

1. By creating an object of the Driver For example:

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver obj = new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();

2. By sending the driver class object to the registerDriver() method of the

DriverManager class. For example:

DriverManager.registerDriver(new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver());

3. By sending the driver class name directly to the forName() For example:

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

4. By using the getProperty() method of the System class. For example:

String dname = System.getProperty("driver");

Class.forName(dname);

If you are using the above method to register the driver, we should have to
specify the driver's name at the time of running the program. The
getProperty() method receives the driver name and stores the driver name
in dname.

We use the following command to provide the driver name at run time:

c:\> java -Ddriver = driverclassname Programname

For example:

c:\> java -Ddriver = sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver MyProgram

34 Identify the DSN in the following statement: R 1

Net Protocol-pure Java Driver (Type 3)

Native Protocol-pure Java Driver (Type 4)

Answer: b

Explanation: Type 2 driver converts JDBC calls into database-specific calls

with the help of vendor database library. It directly communicates with the
database server.
41 Are ResultSets updateable? R 1

Yes, but only if we call the method openCursor() on the ResultSet and if the
driver and database support this option.

Yes, but only if we indicate a concurrency strategy when executing the

statement, and if the driver and database support this option.

Yes, but only if the ResultSet is an object of class UpdateableResultSet and

if the driver and database support this option.

No, ResultSets are never updateable. We must explicitly execute a DML

statement to change the data in the underlying database.

Answer: b

Explanation: By default, a ResultSet object is not updatable and its cursor

moves only in the forward direction. If we want to create an updateable
ResultSet object, either we can use
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE or the
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE type, which moves the cursor
forward and backward relative to the current position.

42 Which of the following interface provides the commit() and rollback() U 1

methods?

Statement Interface

ResultSet Interface

Connection Interface

RowSet Interface

Answer: c

Explanation: The connection interface provides the commit() and rollback()

method. The commit() method makes all changes made since the previous
commit/rollback permanent and releases any database locks currently held
by this Connection object. The rollback() method undoes all changes made
in the current transaction and releases any database locks currently held by
this Connection object.

43 How many statement objects can be created using a Connection? A 1

1
 3

Multiple

Answer: d

Explanation: Multiple statements can be created and used on the same

connection, but only one resultset at once can be created and used on the
same statement.

accessing the database.

Two-tier

Three-tier

Both a and b

Only b

Answer: c

Explanation: The JDBC API supports both two-tier and three-tier processing
models for database access. In the two-tier model, a Java application talks
directly to the data source. In the three-tier model, commands are sent to a
"middle tier" of services, which then sends the commands to the data source.

45 Which statement(s) is/ are true about transactions? U 1

i. A transaction is a set of one or more SQL statements that make up a

logical unit of work.

ii. A transaction ends with either a commit or a rollback, depending on

whether there are any problems with data consistency or data concurrency.

iii. A lock is a mechanism that allows two transactions from manipulating

the same data at the same time.

iv. To avoid conflicts during a transaction, a DBMS uses locks, mechanisms

for blocking access by others to the data that is being accessed by the
transaction.

Only i and ii

Only i and iii

Only i, ii, and iv

All the above

 Answer: c

Explanation: The statements i, ii, and iv are true about transactions but iii is
not because the lock mechanism prohibits two transactions from
manipulating the same data at the same time.

rolling back by the first transaction. This reading process is called as 'dirty
read'.

B - There is always a chance that the first transaction might rollback the
change which causes the second transaction reads an invalid value.

C - Both of the above.

D - None of the above.

Answer : C

Explanation: In typical database transactions, say one transaction reads and

changes the value while the second transaction reads the value before
committing or rolling back by the first transaction. This reading process is
called as 'dirty read'. Because there is always a chance that the first
transaction might rollback the change which causes the second transaction
reads an invalid value.
