下面是一个简短的java/JDBC例子程序，其中演示如何使用JDBC执行SQL SELECT，INSERT，UPDATE和DELETE语句：

package com.devdaily.sqlprocessortests;
import java.sql.*;
public class BasicJDBCDemo
{
 Connection conn;
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
 new BasicJDBCDemo();
 }
 public BasicJDBCDemo()
 {
 try
 {
 Class.forName(\"com.mysql.jdbc.Driver\").newInstance();
 String url =\"jdbc:mysql://localhost/coffeebreak\";
 conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,\"username\",\"password\");
 doTests();
 conn.close();
 }
 catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {System.err.println(ex.getMessage());}
 catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {System.err.println(ex.getMessage());}
 catch (InstantiationException ex) {System.err.println(ex.getMessage());}
 catch (SQLException ex) {System.err.println(ex.getMessage());}
 }
 private void doTests()
 {
 doSelectTest();
 doInsertTest(); doSelectTest();
 doUpdateTest(); doSelectTest();
 doDeleteTest(); doSelectTest();
 }
 private void doSelectTest()
 {
 System.out.println(\"[OUTPUT FROM SELECT]\");
 String query =\"SELECT COF_NAME, PRICE FROM COFFEES\";
 try
 {
 Statement st = conn.createStatement();
 ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
 while (rs.next())
 {
 String s = rs.getString(\"COF_NAME\");
 float n = rs.getFloat(\"PRICE\");
 System.out.println(s +\"\" + n);
 }
 }
 catch (SQLException ex)
 {
 System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
 }
 }
 private void doInsertTest()
 {
 System.out.print(\"n[Performing INSERT] ...\");
 try
 {
 Statement st = conn.createStatement();
 st.executeUpdate(\"INSERT INTO COFFEES\" +
\"VALUES (\'BREAKFAST BLEND\', 200, 7.99, 0, 0)\");
 }
 catch (SQLException ex)
 {
 System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
 }
 }
 private void doUpdateTest()
 {
 System.out.print(\"n[Performing UPDATE] ...\");
 try
 {
 Statement st = conn.createStatement();
 st.executeUpdate(\"UPDATE COFFEES SET PRICE=4.99 WHERE COF_NAME=\'BREAKFAST BLEND\'\");
 }
 catch (SQLException ex)
 {
 System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
 }
 }
 private void doDeleteTest()
 {
 System.out.print(\"n[Performing DELETE] ...\");
 try
 {
 Statement st = conn.createStatement();
 st.executeUpdate(\"DELETE FROM COFFEES WHERE COF_NAME=\'BREAKFAST BLEND\'\");
 }
 catch (SQLException ex)
 {
 System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
 }
 }
}

此代码使用的数据库为来自Sun's原始JDBC教程的Coffee Break数据库 。
