Java Sample Code

To use the Drill JDBC driver in an application, you must include all of the JAR files from the ZIP archive in the classpath for the Java project.

The following Java code demonstrates how to use the JDBC API to:

  • Register the driver for Drill
  • Establish a connection to a Drill server
  • Query the database
  • Parse a result set
  • Handle exceptions
  • Clean up to avoid memory leakage
// java.sql packages are required
import java.sql.*;
class DrillJDBCExample {
     // Define a string as the fully qualified class name
     // (FQCN) of the desired JDBC driver
       private static final String JDBC_DRIVER =
       "com.mapr.drill.jdbc.Driver";
     // Define a string as the connection URL
        private static final String CONNECTION_URL =
        "jdbc:drill:drillbit=192.168.1.1:31010";
 
            public static void main(String[] args) {
                Connection con = null;
                Statement stmt = null;
                ResultSet rs = null;
    // Define a plain query
       String query = "SELECT first_name, last_name, emp_id
       FROM `hive`.`default`.`emp`";
 
                try {
 
                    // Register the driver using the class name
                    Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
                    // Establish a connection using the connection
                    // URL
                    con = DriverManager.getConnection(CONNECTION_
                    URL);
                    // Create a Statement object for sending SQL
                    // statements to the database
                    stmt = con.createStatement();
 
                    // Execute the SQL statement
                    rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

                    // returned from the database

                        // cursor is currently positioned using
