## Interface JdbcOperations

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    JdbcTemplate

      public interface JdbcOperations

  Interface specifying a basic set of JDBC operations. Implemented by `JdbcTemplate`. Not often used directly, but a useful option to enhance testability, as it can easily be mocked or stubbed.

  Alternatively, the standard JDBC infrastructure can be mocked. However, mocking this interface constitutes significantly less work. As an alternative to a mock objects approach to testing data access code, consider the powerful integration testing support provided in the `org.springframework.test` package, shipped in `spring-test.jar`.

    - #### execute

          <T> T execute(ConnectionCallback<T> action)
                    throws DataAccessException

      Execute a JDBC data access operation, implemented as callback action working on a JDBC Connection. This allows for implementing arbitrary data access operations, within Spring's managed JDBC environment: that is, participating in Spring-managed transactions and converting JDBC SQLExceptions into Spring's DataAccessException hierarchy.

      The callback action can return a result object, for example a domain object or a collection of domain objects.

      Parameters:
        `action` - the callback object that specifies the action
      Returns:
        a result object returned by the action, or `null`
      Throws:
        `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem

      Execute a query for a SqlRowSet, given static SQL.

      Uses a JDBC Statement, not a PreparedStatement. If you want to execute a static query with a PreparedStatement, use the overloaded `queryForRowSet` method with `null` as argument array.

      The results will be mapped to an SqlRowSet which holds the data in a disconnected fashion. This wrapper will translate any SQLExceptions thrown.

      Note that that, for the default implementation, JDBC RowSet support needs to be available at runtime: by default, Sun's `com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl` class is used, which is part of JDK 1.5+ and also available separately as part of Sun's JDBC RowSet Implementations download (rowset.jar).

      Parameters:

                    throws DataAccessException

      Execute a JDBC data access operation, implemented as callback action working on a JDBC PreparedStatement. This allows for implementing arbitrary data access operations on a single Statement, within Spring's managed JDBC environment: that is, participating in Spring-managed transactions and converting JDBC SQLExceptions into Spring's DataAccessException hierarchy.

      The callback action can return a result object, for example a domain object or a collection of domain objects.

      Parameters:
        `psc` - object that can create a PreparedStatement given a Connection
        `action` - callback object that specifies the action
      Returns:
        a result object returned by the action, or `null`
      Throws:
        `DataAccessException` - if there is any problem

      Query given SQL to create a prepared statement from SQL and a list of arguments to bind to the query, expecting a result Map. The queryForMap() methods defined by this interface are appropriate when you don't have a domain model. Otherwise, consider using one of the queryForObject() methods.

      The query is expected to be a single row query; the result row will be mapped to a Map (one entry for each column, using the column name as the key).

      Parameters:
        `sql` - SQL query to execute
        `args` - arguments to bind to the query (leaving it to the PreparedStatement to guess the corresponding SQL type); may also contain `SqlParameterValue` objects which indicate not only the argument value but also the SQL type and optionally the scale
      Returns:
        the result Map (one entry for each column, using the column name as the key)
      Throws:
        `IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException` - if the query does not return exactly one row
        `DataAccessException` - if the query fails

      Issue an update statement using a PreparedStatementCreator to provide SQL and any required parameters. Generated keys will be put into the given KeyHolder.
