So, I had a bit of fun with DSA, but I'm on JDBC now. I wanted to ask if I could put my JDBC code into methods and call them to make the code a bit neater. N.B: I use MySQL

Yes, absolutely! Wrapping your JDBC code into methods is a best practice. It improves code readability, reusability, and maintainability. For example, you can create separate methods for:

• Establishing a connection to your MySQL database
• Executing queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
• Closing resources (ResultSet, Statement, Connection)

This modular approach helps isolate database logic and makes error handling cleaner. It also allows you to reuse code across different parts of your application without duplication.

Keep in mind:

• Use PreparedStatement to prevent SQL injection.
• Always close your connections and statements in a finally block or use try-with-resources.
• Consider wrapping exceptions in custom exceptions or logging them for diagnosis.

In essence, yes—organize your JDBC code into focused methods for a neat, robust, and professional application.

What do you mean? Where else should your code be?

[slim geyser]

I didn't create methods before...i will simply use switch, then write the code for what i wanted inside each case, inside the main class. And it makes my code messy

[shell wasp]

You just answered your own question

[slim geyser]

Like...I don't get how it's being done. If I'll define the SQL commands in each method or within Main

[neon root]

You need to go back and learn some Java fundamentals

This is an obvious question if you have a decent handle on methods. It was probably a mistake to spend that time on DSA

[slim geyser]

What I was basically asking is if I should define the MySQL commands inside the methods or in Main...but thanks .I figured it out already🙏🏼

(btw, please dont delete ur questions. it can help others as well)

[neon root]

We should keep a list of "UX issues discord makes unsolvable"

[slim geyser]

Ohh...I'm sorry about that, I had no idea🙏🏼

[warped nymph]

Yeah. It happens. I really do wish we could block that... Makes whole threads often unhelpful to others.

Just don't be one of those users who does it every time. 👍
