I am working on my first Java Project with MySQL. I have one function that gets called every time I get data back from my data source. This function should save a new line to my MySQL database. See the code here:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.Properties;
/**

public class SaveToMysql {
// The JDBC Connector Class.
private static final String dbClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
private static final String CONNECTION = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test";
static public String test(int reqId, String date, double open, double high, double low,
double close, int volume, int count, double WAP, boolean hasGaps){
if (date.contains("finished")){
return "finished";
}
// Class.forName(xxx) loads the jdbc classes and
// creates a drivermanager class factory
try{
Class.forName(dbClassName);
}catch ( ClassNotFoundException e ) {
System.out.println(e);
}
// Properties for user and password. Here the user and password are both 'paulr'
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("user","XXXXXXXX");
p.put("password","XXXXXXXXXXXx");
// Now try to connect
Connection conn;
try{
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(CONNECTION,p);
}catch(SQLException e){
return e.toString();
}
PreparedStatement stmt;
try{
stmt = conn.prepareStatement("insert into dj_minute_data set symbol = (select ticker from dow_jones_constituents where id = ?), "
+ "date = str_to_date(?,'%Y%m%d %H:%i:%s')" +
", open = ?" +
", high = ?" +
", low = ?" +
", close = ?" +
", volume = ?" +
", adj_close = ?");
stmt.setInt(1, reqId);
stmt.setString(2, date);
stmt.setDouble(3, open);
stmt.setDouble(4, high);
stmt.setDouble(5, low);
stmt.setDouble(6, close);
stmt.setDouble(7, volume);
stmt.setDouble(8, WAP);
}catch (SQLException e){
return e.toString();
}
try{
stmt.executeUpdate();
}catch (SQLException e){
return e.toString();
}
return stmt.toString();
}
}
As you all can see this function test
is in its own class, called SaveToMysql
. To call this function, I import the class into a different class, and use this syntax:
msg = SaveToMysql.test(reqId, date, open, high, low, close, volume, count, WAP, hasGaps);
The msg then get output to the screen. Showing either error message or success.
This function may be called many times rapidly in a short time period. I know I should not have to re-open my connection with the MySQL server every time the function gets called. How would I change this so that the 1 MySQL connection stays open for every call to the function.
Thanks!!
