JDBC Statement example to Select list of Records from database

 
Here is an example to show you how to select the entire records from table via JDBC statement, and display all the records via a ResultSet object.
 
To issue a select query, calls the Statement.executeQuery method like this:
 

String selectTableSQL = "SELECT USER_ID, USERNAME from EMPLOYEE";
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(selectTableQuery);
while (rs.next())
{
	String userid = rs.getString("USER_ID");
	String username = rs.getString("USERNAME");
}
