A SELECT Example

The following sample program shows how to retrieve and list all the names (first_name, last_name) from the employee_tbl2 table, which is partially defined as 

   CREATE TABLE  employee_tbl2 (
     employee_id   NUMBER(6),
     first_name    VARCHAR2(20),
     last_name     VARCHAR2(25)  CONSTRAINT  emp_last_name_nn  NOT NULL,
     email         VARCHAR2(25)  CONSTRAINT  emp_email_nn      NOT NULL,
     phone_number  VARCHAR2(20) );

   ALTER TABLE  employee_tbl2  ADD (
     CONSTRAINT  emp_emp_id_pk  PRIMARY KEY( employee_id ));

Name (args[0]) =

    ods.setPassword( password );
    Connection conn = ods.getConnection( );

    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery( query );
