In addition, shouldn't the Connection part also be included in try-with-resources?

Not necessarily. There could be more code below the given try block that reuses the same Connection.

I mean, Connection should also ultimately stay inside try(-with-resources) block, shouldn't it?

May be I am not understanding you correctly. Can you show what you mean by putting it in code? And why do you think so?
FYI, it is possible to let Connection not be closed at all.

Code: Select all

private ConnectIt() throws SQLException{
        connectionProps.put("user", "jstudent");
        connectionProps.put("password", "1234");
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
                    "jdbc:mysql://mysql.test.lan:3306/jtuto?user=jstudent&password=1234");
    }
It won't compile with throws clause removed - just checked with NetBeans.

Yes, but why does that matter? The question doesn't show the complete method. It shows just a snippet of code. You need to assume that if the validity of given snippet depends on something that is not specified, then that "unspecified" thing exists. In this case, it is either another wrapper try/catch block or the throws clause.

The numbering of columns in a ResultSet does not start with 1 and not with 0? Therefore, rs.getString(0) will not cause an SQLException every time the codes run?

Hi alexm1980,
Indeed, column numbering in a ResultSet start at 1. The explanation of the answer "It will throw an exception if the first column of the result is not a String." is correct, but of topic. It would be on topic if rs.getString(0) is replaced by rs.getString(1).

That's alright because it is an incorrect option anyway.

It's not off-topic at all. It's there as a red herring (as we say in idiomatic English). IOW it's there to fool people into choosing the wrong answer. I was fooled.

Isn't it true that the JDBC Documentation says that the method
rs.getString(1)
must start with 1 ?

If you attempt to access the column at 0 it will throw an Exception.
System.out.println(rs.getString(0));

Please confirm.

Thanks

Yes, that is true. But that is not the issue with this question. Before it can throw an exception, the code has to compile, right?
