### JDBC Interface
To Java delevopers, TDengine provides `taos-jdbcdriver` according to the JDBC(3.0) API. Users can find and download it through [Sonatype Repository][1].
TDengine provides a JDBC driver `taos-jdbcdriver-x.x.x.jar` for Enterprise Java developers. TDengine's JDBC Driver is implemented as a subset of the standard JDBC 3.0 Specification and supports the most common Java development frameworks. The driver have been published to dependency repositories such as Sonatype Maven Repository, and users could refer to the following `pom.xml` configuration file.
Since the native language of TDengine is C, the necessary TDengine library should be checked before using the taos-jdbcdriver:
* libtaos.so (Linux)
After TDengine is installed successfully, the library `libtaos.so` will be automatically copied to the `/usr/lib/`, which is the system's default search path.
* taos.dll (Windows)
After TDengine client is installed, the library `taos.dll` will be automatically copied to the `C:/Windows/System32`, which is the system's default search path.
> Note: Please make sure that TDengine Windows client has been installed if developing on Windows.
Since TDengine is time-series database, there are still some differences compared with traditional databases in using TDengine JDBC driver:
* TDengine doesn't allow to delete/modify a single record, and thus JDBC driver also has no such method.
* No support for transaction
* No support for union between tables
* No support for nested query，`There is at most one open ResultSet for each Connection. Thus, TSDB JDBC Driver will close current ResultSet if it is not closed and a new query begins`.

## How to get TAOS-JDBC Driver
### maven repository
taos-jdbcdriver has been published to [Sonatype Repository][1]:
Please note the JDBC driver itself relies on a native library written in C. On a Linux OS, the driver relies on a `libtaos.so` native library, where .so stands for "Shared Object". After the successful installation of TDengine on Linux, `libtaos.so` should be automatically copied to `/usr/local/lib/taos` and added to the system's default search path. On a Windows OS, the driver relies on a `taos.dll` native library, where .dll stands for "Dynamic Link Library". After the successful installation of the TDengine client on Windows, the `taos-jdbcdriver.jar` file can be found in `C:/TDengine/driver/JDBC`; the `taos.dll` file can be found in `C:/TDengine/driver/C` and should have been automatically copied to the system's searching path `C:/Windows/System32`.
### JAR file from the source code
Developers can refer to the Oracle's official JDBC API documentation for detailed usage on classes and methods. However, there are some differences of connection configurations and supported methods in the driver implementation between TDengine and traditional relational databases.
After downloading the [TDengine][3] source code, execute `mvn clean package` in the directory `src/connector/jdbc` and then the corresponding jar file is generated.
For database connections, TDengine's JDBC driver has the following configurable parameters in the JDBC URL. The standard format of a TDengine JDBC URL is:
@@ -260,16 +308,204 @@ public Connection getConn() throws Exception{
}
```
Except `cfgdir`, all the parameters listed above can also be configured in the configuration file. The properties specified when calling DriverManager.getConnection() has the highest priority among all configuration methods. The JDBC URL has the second-highest priority, and the configuration file has the lowest priority. The explicitly configured parameters in a method with higher priorities always overwrite that same parameter configured in methods with lower priorities. For example, if `charset` is explicitly configured as "UTF-8" in the JDBC URL and "GKB" in the `taos.cfg` file, then "UTF-8" will be used.
3. Configuration file (taos.cfg)
Default configuration file is _/var/lib/taos/taos.cfg_ On Linux and _C:\TDengine\cfg\taos.cfg_ on Windows
```properties
# client default username
# defaultUser root
Although the JDBC driver is implemented following the JDBC standard as much as possible, there are major differences between TDengine and traditional databases in terms of data models that lead to the differences in the driver implementation. Here is a list of head-ups for developers who have plenty of experience on traditional databases but little on TDengine:
# client default password
# defaultPass taosdata
* TDengine does NOT support updating or deleting a specific record, which leads to some unsupported methods in the JDBC driver
* TDengine currently does not support `join` or `union` operations, and thus, is lack of support for associated methods in the JDBC driver
* TDengine supports batch insertions which are controlled at the level of SQL statement writing instead of API calls
* TDengine doesn't support nested queries and neither does the JDBC driver. Thus for each established connection to TDengine, there should be only one open result set associated with it
# default system charset
# charset UTF-8
# system locale
# locale en_US.UTF-8
```
> More options can refer to [client configuration][13]
### Create databases and tables
```java
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
// create database
stmt.executeUpdate("create database if not exists db");
// use database
stmt.executeUpdate("use db");
// create table
stmt.executeUpdate("create table if not exists tb (ts timestamp, temperature int, humidity float)");
```
> Note: if no step like `use db`, the name of database must be added as prefix like _db.tb_ when operating on tables
### Insert data
```java
// insert data
int affectedRows = stmt.executeUpdate("insert into tb values(now, 23, 10.3) (now + 1s, 20, 9.3)");
> _now+1s_ is 1 second later than current server time. The time unit includes: _a_(millisecond), _s_(second), _m_(minute), _h_(hour), _d_(day), _w_(week), _n_(month), _y_(year).
### Query database
```java
// query data
ResultSet resultSet = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tb");
> query is consistent with relational database. The subscript start with 1 when retrieving return results. It is recommended to use the column name to retrieve results.
### Close all
```java
resultSet.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
```

## Using connection pool
**HikariCP**
* dependence in pom.xml：
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId>
<artifactId>HikariCP</artifactId>
<version>3.4.1</version>
</dependency>
```
* Examples：
```java
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
Connection connection = ds.getConnection(); // get connection
Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); // get statement
//query or insert
// ...
connection.close(); // put back to conneciton pool
}
```
> More instructions can refer to [User Guide][6]
**Notice**
* TDengine `v1.6.4.1` provides a function `select server_status()` to check heartbeat. It is highly recommended to use this function for `Validation Query`.
As follows，`1` will be returned if `select server_status()` is successfully executed。
```shell
taos> select server_status();
server_status()|
================
1 |
Query OK, 1 row(s) in set (0.000141s)
```

## FAQ
* java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no taos in java.library.path
**Cause**：The application program cannot find Library function _taos_
**Answer**：Copy `C:\TDengine\driver\taos.dll` to `C:\Windows\System32\` on Windows and make a soft link through ` ln -s /usr/local/taos/driver/libtaos.so.x.x.x.x /usr/lib/libtaos.so` on Linux.
* java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: taos.dll Can't load AMD 64 bit on a IA 32-bit platform
**Cause**：Currently TDengine only support 64bit JDK
**Answer**：re-install 64bit JDK.
* For other questions, please refer to [Issues][7]
All the error codes and error messages can be found in `TSDBError.java` . For a more detailed coding example, please refer to the demo project `JDBCDemo` in TDengine's code examples.
