The IoTDB JDBC provides a standardized way to interact with the IoTDB database, allowing users to execute SQL statements from Java programs for managing databases and time-series data. It supports operations such as connecting to the database, creating, querying, updating, and deleting data, as well as batch insertion and querying of time-series data.
Note: The current JDBC implementation is designed primarily for integration with third-party tools. High-performance writing may not be achieved when using JDBC for insert operations. For Java applications, it is recommended to use the JAVA Native API for optimal performance.
- JDK: Version 1.8 or higher
- Maven: Version 3.6 or higher
Add the following dependency to your Maven pom.xml file:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.iotdb</groupId>
<artifactId>iotdb-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1-beta</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>Write Operations: Perform database operations such as inserting data, creating databases, and creating time-series using the execute method.
Read Operations: Execute queries using the executeQuery method and retrieve results via the ResultSet object.
| Method Name | Description | Parameters | Return Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class.forName(String driver) | Loads the JDBC driver class | driver: Name of the JDBC driver class |
Class: Loaded class object |
| DriverManager.getConnection(String url, String username, String password) | Establishes a database connection | url: Database URL username: Username password: Password |
Connection: Database connection object |
| Connection.createStatement() | Creates a Statement object for executing SQL statements |
None | Statement: SQL execution object |
| Statement.execute(String sql) | Executes a non-query SQL statement | sql: SQL statement to execute |
boolean: Indicates if a ResultSet is returned |
| Statement.executeQuery(String sql) | Executes a query SQL statement and retrieves the result set | sql: SQL query statement |
ResultSet: Query result set |
| ResultSet.getMetaData() | Retrieves metadata of the result set | None | ResultSetMetaData: Metadata object |
| ResultSet.next() | Moves to the next row in the result set | None | boolean: Whether the move was successful |
| ResultSet.getString(int columnIndex) | Retrieves the string value of a specified column | columnIndex: Column index (starting from 1) |
String: Column value |
Note: When using the Table Model, you must specify the sql_dialect parameter as table in the URL. Example:
String url = "jdbc:iotdb://127.0.0.1:6667?sql_dialect=table";You can find the full example code at GitHub Repository.
