(a) You must catch the checked SQLException which is
thrown by the method which executes the statement
(b) You must catch the unchecked SQLWarningException
which is thrown by the method which executes

the statement
(c) You must invoke the getWarnings() method on the
Statement object (or a sub interface thereof)

warnings generated by the database
9. What is, in terms of JDBC, a DataSource?
(a) A DataSource is the basic service for managing a set

data source
10. What is the meaning of
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
(a) This means that the ResultSet is insensitive to
scrolling
(b) This means that the Resultset is sensitive to scrolling,
but insensitive to updates, i.e. not updateable
(c) This means that the ResultSet is sensitive to scrolling,
but insensitive to changes made by others
(d) The meaning depends on the type of data source, and
the type and version of the driver you use with this
data source

11. Are ResultSets updateable?

(a) Yes, but only if you call the method openCursor() on
the ResultSet, and if the driver and database support
this option
(b) Yes, but only if you indicate a concurrency strategy
when executing the statement, and if the driver and
database support this option
(c) Yes, but only if the ResultSet is an object of class
UpdateableResultSet, and if the driver and database
support thisoption
(d) No, ResultSets are never updateable. You must
explicitly execute DML statements (i.e. insert, delete and
update) to change the data in the underlying database

called on the Transaction object
[d] A transaction is finished when close() is called on the
Connection object.

13. How can you start a database transaction in the

database?

are prevented

created it and the Connection from which the Statement
was retrieved, will be closed and release all database and
JDBC resources
18. What happens if you call deleteRow() on a ResultSet
object?
(a) The row you are positioned on is deleted from the
ResultSet, but not from the database.
(b) The row you are positioned on is deleted from the
ResultSet and from the database
(c) The result depends on whether the property
synchronizeWithDataSource is set to true or false
(d) You will get a compile error: the method does not exist
because you can not delete rows from a ResultSet
19. What statements are correct about batched insert and
updates? (2 answers)
[a] To create a batch of insert and update statements, you
create an object of type Batch, and call the method
addStatement(String statement) for each statement you
want to execute in the batch
[b] Batch insert and updates are only possible when
making use of parameterized queries.
[c] To do a batched update/insert, you call addBatch(String

statement) on a Statement object for each statement

you want to execute in the batch

executeBatch() method on a Statement object
