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) What is the purpose of JDBC?

A) -> Java application can do any task by making a method (function) call. ->java method calls are not understandable to database management system. They can understand only SQL statements. ->SQL statements can’t be directly used in a java application. Java compiler complains. ->therefore, we say that java environment and database environment are heterogeneous to each other. Purpose of JDBC: ->for any kind of java application to communicate with any kind of database (management system) in a standard manner, JDBC is used.
