Java JDBC CRUD Example - SQL Insert, Select, Update, and Delete Examples

This example provides source code to perform basic database operations (CRUD - Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete) using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) API.

These CRUD operations are equivalent to the INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE statements in SQL language.
Check out all JDBC examples at Java JDBC Examples
In this example, we learn how to do insert, query, update, and delete database records by writing code to manage records of a table Users in a MySQL database called demo.

MySQL Database Setup

Let's create a database named "demo" in MySQL. Now, create a users table using below DDL script:
CREATE DATABASE 'demo';
USE demo;

create table users (
    id  int(3) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    name varchar(120) NOT NULL,
    email varchar(220) NOT NULL,
    country varchar(120),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
You can use either MySQL Command Line Client or MySQL Workbench tool to create the database. 

UserDAO.java

Let's create a UserDAO class which is a Data Access Layer (DAO) class that provides CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for the table users in a database. 
Here’s the full source code of the UserDAO:
package net.javaguides.usermanagement.dao;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import net.javaguides.usermanagement.model.User;

/**
 * AbstractDAO.java This DAO class provides CRUD database operations for the
 * table users in the database.
