    public class JDBCXYDataset

extends AbstractXYDataset
implements XYDataset, TableXYDataset, RangeInfo

This class provides an `XYDataset` implementation over a database JDBC result set. The dataset is populated via a call to executeQuery with the string sql query. The sql query must return at least two columns. The first column will be the x-axis and remaining columns y-axis values. executeQuery can be called a number of times. The database connection is read-only and no write back facility exists.

    `password` - the database user's password.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.ClassNotFoundException` - if the driver cannot be found.
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if there is a problem connecting to the database.

### JDBCXYDataset

    public JDBCXYDataset(java.sql.Connection con)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException

  Creates a new dataset (initially empty) using the specified database connection.

  Parameters:
    `con` - the database connection.
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if there is a problem connecting to the database.

### JDBCXYDataset

    public JDBCXYDataset(java.sql.Connection con,
                         java.lang.String query)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException

  Creates a new dataset using the specified database connection, and populates it using data obtained with the supplied query.

  Parameters:
    `con` - the connection.
    `query` - the SQL query.
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if there is a problem executing the query.

Method Detail

### isTimeSeries

    public boolean isTimeSeries()

  Returns `true` if the dataset represents time series data, and `false` otherwise.

  Returns:
    a boolean.

### setTimeSeries

    public void setTimeSeries(boolean timeSeries)

  Sets a flag that indicates whether or not the data represents a time series.

  Parameters:
    `timeSeries` - the new value of the flag.

### executeQuery

    public void executeQuery(java.lang.String query)
                      throws java.sql.SQLException

  ExecuteQuery will attempt execute the query passed to it against the existing database connection. If no connection exists then no action is taken. The results from the query are extracted and cached locally, thus applying an upper limit on how many rows can be retrieved successfully.

  Parameters:
    `query` - the query to be executed.
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if there is a problem executing the query.

### executeQuery

    public void executeQuery(java.sql.Connection con,
                             java.lang.String query)
                      throws java.sql.SQLException

  ExecuteQuery will attempt execute the query passed to it against the provided database connection. If connection is null then no action is taken The results from the query are extracted and cached locally, thus applying an upper limit on how many rows can be retrieved successfully.

  Parameters:
    `query` - the query to be executed.
    `con` - the connection the query is to be executed against.
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if there is a problem executing the query.
