Q) What is method overloading? How to implement method overloading?




A)
->within the same object (class) defining more than one method with the same name but with different signature is known as method overloading.
Ex:
class A {
              void x()
              {
                    
              }
       void x(int a)
       {            

       }

}
->In the above example, x method of object of class A is overloaded.

class A {
              void x()
              {
                    
              }
}
class B extends A
{
              void x(int a)
       {            

       }

}

-> In the above example x method of class B object is overloaded.

-> In java, method signature is nothing but method name plus parameter list. In case of method overloading, method name should be same but signature must be different. It means parameters should be different for the method overloading to be legal.

->java compiler threads parameters of two methods are different. If any one of the fallowing 3 criteria doesn’t the match.

1)      Number of parameters
2)      Type of parameters
3)      Order of type of parameters

->In the above program developer trying for method overloading.
->Here the 2 methods contain same name and the parameter list is match that's why it raise "error".

->the java compiler checks if any one of the criteria is mismatch, it is treating of method overloading, if all criterias are matched then it doesn’t treat as method overloading so error will come.

Q) Retrieving data from database?

A)   ->to retrieve the data from database we need to submit SELECT statement from JDBC application. -> executeQuery() method of statement object is used for this purpose. This method has the fallowing ResultSet executeQuery(String sql) throws SQLException Ex: ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(“SELECT * FROM ACCOUNT”); ->objectoriented representation of tables formate data is called ResultSet object. Ao the driver created one object i.e. ResultSet object. ->object orientation representation of a table of records returned from db is nothing but “ ResultSet ” object.  

Q) Explain repeated deletion of records.

A) //RepeatedDeletion.java import java.util.Scanner; import java.sql.*; class RepeatedDeletion {        public static void main(String[] args) {               Connection con= DriverManager. getConnection ( "jdbc:odbc:prince" , "scott" , "tiger" );               PreparedStatement ps=con.PreparedStatement( "DELETE FROM ACCOUNT WHERE ACCNO=?" );               Scanner s= new Scanner(System. in );               while ( true )               {                      System. out .println( "Enter accno : " );      ...

Q) What is JDBC driver? What is its role in java database connection?

A) ->A translation software written in java according o JDBC specification is nothing but “JDBC driver”. -> JDBC driver implements JDBC API. Use single API. JDBC driver role: They are 4 roles   1)       Establishing connection between JDBC client and database server. 2)       Receiving JDBC method calls made by JDBC client while performing database (CRUD) operations. 3)       Translating java method calls into DBMS understandable calls and forwarding them to database server. 4)       Receiving the results from database server. Translating them into java format and handling over the same to the JDBC client.
