Here’s a sample code snippet that demonstrates how to delete data from a SQL database using Java and JDBC (Java Database Connectivity):
import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.PreparedStatement; import java.sql.SQLException; public class SQLDataDeleter { public static void main(String[] args) { // Database credentials String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=mydatabase"; String username = "sa"; String password = "password"; // SQL query String query = "DELETE FROM customers WHERE id = ?"; try { // Register JDBC driver Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"); // Open a connection Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); // Create a prepared statement PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query); // Set the parameter value pstmt.setInt(1, 1); // Assuming ID 1 needs to be deleted // Execute the query int rowsAffected = pstmt.executeUpdate(); // Check if the deletion was successful if (rowsAffected > 0) { System.out.println("Data deleted successfully!"); } else { System.out.println("Failed to delete data."); } // Close the resources pstmt.close(); conn.close(); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Make sure to replace the url, username, and password variables with your actual SQL database connection details. Additionally, modify the query variable to match your desired SQL DELETE statement.
This code snippet assumes you have the appropriate JDBC driver for your SQL database (e.g., mssql-jdbc.jar for Microsoft SQL Server) included in your classpath. If not, you can download the driver from the respective database vendor’s website or include it as a Maven/Gradle dependency.
The code connects to the SQL database, prepares a DELETE statement with a placeholder, sets the parameter value using the appropriate setter method (setInt, setString, etc.), and executes the query using executeUpdate. It then checks the number of affected rows to determine if the deletion was successful. Finally, it closes the resources to free up memory.
Remember to handle exceptions appropriately in your production code and consider using try-with-resources or a similar mechanism to automatically close the resources.
