Creating a JDBC Starter Project
Explore how to create a JDBC starter project using Spring Boot and the H2 in-memory database. Understand how JdbcTemplate manages database connections and simplifies querying, while Spring Boot handles configuration automatically. Learn to set up dependencies and run the project with an embedded web console for database viewing.
We'll cover the following...
Spring JDBC makes talking to databases easy by eliminating the need for establishing a connection, handling expectations, and closing connections. Spring provides a template class called JdbcTemplate to interact with databases which offers a wide array of methods to perform storage and retrieval of data. The JdbcTemplate class hides all the boilerplate code for connection management and error handling whereby the developer can focus on the SQL query.
Using the Spring JdbcTemplate, a Java application can store and retrieve objects of a class to a table in the database.
