Join Operation Through JSP


This is the next article in the series of articles about database applications in JSP. In this article, I am going to develop an application that joins two database tables. Through this article we join two tables (authors and titleauthor). For this application we use the following steps.

Step 1: Create a new database

In the first step we click on the blank database option and click on create .

Step 9: Create jsp file

We create one jsp file for this application.

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); %>
<HTML>
      <HEAD>
      <TITLE>
Joining Tables</TITLE>
     </HEAD>
     <BODY BGCOLOR="green">
             <H1>Joining Tables</H1>
     <%
         Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
         "jdbc:odbc:joindata1");
         Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
         String query = "SELECT * From authors,titleauthor where authors.id = titleauthor.id";
         ResultSet resultset =
         statement.executeQuery(query);
     %>
    <TABLE BORDER="1">
      <TR>
          <TH>First Name</TH>
          <TH>Last Name</TH>
          <TH>Book ID</TH>
    </TR>
        <% while(resultset.next()){ %>
     <TR>
        <TD> <%= resultset.getString(1) %></TD>
        <TD> <%= resultset.getString(2) %></TD>
        <TD> <%= resultset.getString(3) %></TD>
    </TR>
      <% } %>
     </TABLE>
      </BODY>
</HTML>


Step 10: Compile and Run the application
