Classes in java.sql used by java.sql
Class
Description

Enumeration for status of the reason that a property could not be set via a call to `Connection.setClientInfo`
Clob
The mapping in the Java programming language for the SQL `CLOB` type.
Connection
A connection (session) with a specific database.
ConnectionBuilder
A builder created from a `DataSource` object, used to establish a connection to the database that the `data source` object represents.
DatabaseMetaData
Comprehensive information about the database as a whole.
Date
A thin wrapper around a millisecond value that allows JDBC to identify this as an SQL `DATE` value.
Driver
The interface that every driver class must implement.
DriverAction
An interface that must be implemented when a Driver wants to be notified by `DriverManager`.
DriverPropertyInfo
Driver properties for making a connection.
JDBCType
Defines the constants that are used to identify generic SQL types, called JDBC types.
NClob
The mapping in the Java programming language for the SQL `NCLOB` type.
ParameterMetaData
An object that can be used to get information about the types and properties for each parameter marker in a `PreparedStatement` object.
PreparedStatement
An object that represents a precompiled SQL statement.
PseudoColumnUsage
Enumeration for pseudo/hidden column usage.
Ref
The mapping in the Java programming language of an SQL `REF` value, which is a reference to an SQL structured type value in the database.
ResultSet
A table of data representing a database result set, which is usually generated by executing a statement that queries the database.
ResultSetMetaData
An object that can be used to get information about the types and properties of the columns in a `ResultSet` object.
RowId
The representation (mapping) in the Java programming language of an SQL ROWID value.
RowIdLifetime
Enumeration for RowId life-time values.
Savepoint
The representation of a savepoint, which is a point within the current transaction that can be referenced from the `Connection.rollback` method.
ShardingKey
Interface used to indicate that this object represents a Sharding Key.
ShardingKeyBuilder
A builder created from a `DataSource` or `XADataSource` object, used to create a `ShardingKey` with sub-keys of supported data types.
SQLClientInfoException
The subclass of `SQLException` is thrown when one or more client info properties could not be set on a `Connection`.
SQLData
The interface used for the custom mapping of an SQL user-defined type (UDT) to a class in the Java programming language.
SQLException
An exception that provides information on a database access error or other errors.
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException
The subclass of `SQLException` thrown when the SQLState class value is '0A' ( the value is 'zero' A).
SQLInput
An input stream that contains a stream of values representing an instance of an SQL structured type or an SQL distinct type.
SQLNonTransientException
The subclass of `SQLException` thrown when an instance where a retry of the same operation would fail unless the cause of the `SQLException` is corrected.
SQLOutput
The output stream for writing the attributes of a user-defined type back to the database.
SQLTransientException
The subclass of `SQLException` is thrown in situations where a previously failed operation might be able to succeed when the operation is retried without any intervention by application-level functionality.
SQLType
An object that is used to identify a generic SQL type, called a JDBC type or a vendor specific data type.
SQLWarning
An exception that provides information on database access warnings.
SQLXML
The mapping in the JavaTM programming language for the SQL XML type.
Statement
The object used for executing a static SQL statement and returning the results it produces.
Struct
The standard mapping in the Java programming language for an SQL structured type.
Time
A thin wrapper around the `java.util.Date` class that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIME` value.
Timestamp
A thin wrapper around `java.util.Date` that allows the JDBC API to identify this as an SQL `TIMESTAMP` value.
Wrapper
Interface for JDBC classes which provide the ability to retrieve the delegate instance when the instance in question is in fact a proxy class.
