Accessing DDM Using a JDBC Connection Pool

Scenario

When a connection pool is used, the system stores database connections in memory during initialization. Then, when you send a request to access a database, the system directly selects an available connection in the connection pool. If the connection is not required, the system returns the connection to the pool for another request to access. Connection establishment and disconnection are both managed by the connection pool itself. In addition, you can set connection pool parameters to control the number of initial connections in the connection pool, upper and lower limits of connections, maximum number of times that each connection can be used, and maximum idle time for each connection. If you prefer, you can also use your own system to monitor the number and usage of database connections.

This section describes how to access DDM using the JDBC connection pool to perform data operations. For Java programs, HikariCP is recommended.
  • Java 8: Version 3.3.1 is recommended.
  • Java 7: Version 2.4.13 is recommended.
  • Parameter useCursorFetch cannot be enabled when you connect to a DDM instance using a JDBC connection.

Procedure

  1. Configure Maven.

    • Java 8
      <dependency>
          <groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId>
          <artifactId>HikariCP</artifactId>
          <version>3.3.1</version>
      </dependency>
    • Java 7
      <dependency>
          <groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId>
          <artifactId>HikariCP-java7</artifactId>
          <version>2.4.13</version>
      </dependency>

  2. Create a table.

    Table 1 Parameters for creating a table

    Table Name

    Field

    Type

    Primary Key

    account

    account_number

    bigint

    Yes

    account_type

    varchar (45)

    No

    account_name

    varchar (50)

    No

  3. Connect to a DDM instance.

    1. Set the number of connections by configuring parameters in the JDBC URL and HikariCP parameters.
    2. Insert a data record.
    Example:
    package com.huawei.ddm.examples; 
    import java.sql.Connection; 
    import java.sql.PreparedStatement; 
    import java.sql.ResultSet; 
    import java.sql.SQLException; 
    import javax.sql.DataSource; 
    import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig; 
    import com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource; 
    
    public class HikariCPDemo { 
        private static DataSource datasource; 
        private static DataSource getDataSource() { 
            if (datasource == null) { 
                HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig(); 
                
                // Configure parameters in the JDBC URL:
                config.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://192.168.0.10:5066,192.168.0.11:5066/db_name?loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementThreshold=5&loadBalanceHostRemovalGracePeriod=15000&loadBalanceBlacklistTimeout=60000&loadBalancePingTimeout=5000&retriesAllDown=10&connectTimeout=10000"); 
                /* 
                // Or configure parameters in the JDBC URL as follows:
                config.addDataSourceProperty("loadBalanceAutoCommitStatementThreshold",5); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("loadBalanceHostRemovalGracePeriod", 15000); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("loadBalanceBlacklistTimeout", 60000); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("loadBalancePingTimeout", 5000); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("retriesAllDown", 10); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("connectTimeout", 10000); 
                */ 
                config.setUsername("username"); 
                config.setPassword("password"); 
                config.setMaximumPoolSize(10); 
                config.setAutoCommit(true); 
    
                // Configure HikariCP parameters.
                config.addDataSourceProperty("cachePrepStmts", true); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSize", 250); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit", 2048); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("minimumIdle", 5); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("maximumPoolSize", 10); 
                config.addDataSourceProperty("idleTimeout", 30000); 
    
                datasource = new HikariDataSource(config);
