public abstract class Fetch

extends java.lang.Object

The responsibility of a Fetch instance is to manage the iteration of a ResultSet. Two different alogorithms are available: static or dynamic.

Static The static variety iterates the entire set immediately, creating the necessary Jython objects and storing them. It is able to immediately close the ResultSet so a call to close() is essentially a no-op from a database resource perspective (it does clear the results list however). This approach also allows for the correct rowcount to be determined since the entire result set has been iterated.

Dynamic The dynamic variety iterates the result set only as requested. This holds a bit truer to the intent of the API as the fetch*() methods actually fetch when instructed. This is especially useful for managing exeedingly large results, but is unable to determine the rowcount without having worked through the entire result set. The other disadvantage is the ResultSet remains open throughout the entire iteration. So the tradeoff is in open database resources versus JVM resources since the application can keep constant space if it doesn't require the entire result set be presented as one.

Method Detail

newFetch

public static Fetch newFetch(DataHandler datahandler,
                             boolean dynamic)

Method newFetch

Parameters:

datahandler -

dynamic -

Returns:

Fetch

getRowCount

public int getRowCount()

The number of rows in the current result set.

getDescription

public PyObject getDescription()

The description of each column, in order, for the data in the result set.

add

public abstract void add(java.sql.ResultSet resultSet)

Create the results after a successful execution and manages the result set.

Parameters:

resultSet -

add

public abstract void add(java.sql.ResultSet resultSet,
                         java.util.Set skipCols)

Create the results after a successful execution and manages the result set. Optionally takes a set of JDBC-indexed columns to automatically set to None primarily to support getTypeInfo() which sets a column type of a number but doesn't use the value so a driver is free to put anything it wants there.

Parameters:

resultSet -

skipCols - JDBC-indexed set of columns to be skipped

add

public abstract void add(java.sql.CallableStatement callableStatement,
                         Procedure procedure,
                         PyObject params)

Method add

Parameters:

callableStatement -

procedure -

params -

fetchone

public PyObject fetchone()

Fetch the next row of a query result set, returning a single sequence, or None when no more data is available.

An Error (or subclass) exception is raised if the previous call to executeXXX() did not produce any result set or no call was issued yet.

Returns:

a single sequence from the result set, or None when no more data is available

fetchall

public abstract PyObject fetchall()

Fetch all (remaining) rows of a query result, returning them as a sequence of sequences (e.g. a list of tuples). Note that the cursor's arraysize attribute can affect the performance of this operation.

An Error (or subclass) exception is raised if the previous call to executeXXX() did not produce any result set or no call was issued yet.

Returns:

a sequence of sequences from the result set, or None when no more data is available

fetchmany

public abstract PyObject fetchmany(int size)

Fetch the next set of rows of a query result, returning a sequence of sequences (e.g. a list of tuples). An empty sequence is returned when no more rows are available.

The number of rows to fetch per call is specified by the parameter. If it is not given, the cursor's arraysize determines the number of rows to be fetched. The method should try to fetch as many rows as indicated by the size parameter. If this is not possible due to the specified number of rows not being available, fewer rows may be returned.

An Error (or subclass) exception is raised if the previous call to executeXXX() did not produce any result set or no call was issued yet.

Note there are performance considerations involved with the size parameter. For optimal performance, it is usually best to use the arraysize attribute. If the size parameter is used, then it is best for it to retain the same value from one fetchmany() call to the next.

Returns:

a sequence of sequences from the result set, or None when no more data is available

nextset

public abstract PyObject nextset()

Move the result pointer to the next set if available.

Returns:

true if more sets exist, else None

scroll

public abstract void scroll(int value,
                            java.lang.String mode)

Scroll the cursor in the result set to a new position according to mode.

If mode is 'relative' (default), value is taken as offset to the current position in the result set, if set to 'absolute', value states an absolute target position.

An IndexError should be raised in case a scroll operation would leave the result set. In this case, the cursor position is left undefined (ideal would be to not move the cursor at all).

Note: This method should use native scrollable cursors, if available, or revert to an emulation for forward-only scrollable cursors. The method may raise NotSupportedErrors to signal that a specific operation is not supported by the database (e.g. backward scrolling).

Parameters:

value -

mode -

close

public void close()
           throws java.sql.SQLException

Cleanup any resources.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException

addWarningListener

public void addWarningListener(WarningListener listener)

removeWarningListener

public boolean removeWarningListener(WarningListener listener)
