1. Create a data layer class file named "SQLServerDatabase". The SQLServerDatabase class file should have attribut2es for each of the connection parameters. These parameters can be set in the constructor or when they are declared a. b. There should also be a "connection" attribute to hold the DB connection object. There should be a public "connect" method. This method will attempt to connect to the database. If successful, it should set the connection attribute and return true. If unsuccessful, it should return false. Finally, there should be a "close" method that closes the connection and returns true or false depending on the success of the close. c. d.

Explanation / Answer

SQLServerDatabase.java

import java.sql.*;

public class TestConnect {

// Definitions for Microsoft (MS) SQL Server connection

private static String uri = "jdbc:sqlserver://theodore.ist.rit.edu;databaseName=Jobs";

private static String jdbc_driver = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";

private static String user = "330User";

private static String password= "330Password";

  

// Connection object to database

private static Connection conn = null;

private static Driver driver;

  

public static boolean connect() throws SQLException{

if(driver == null){

try{

Class driverJdbcClass = Class.forName(jdbc_driver);

driver = (Driver) driverJdbcClass.newInstance();

DriverManager.register(driver);

DriverManager.getConnection(uri, user, password);

} catch(Exception e){

System.out.println("Failed to load jdbc driver");

return false;

}

}

return true;

} // end connect method

public static boolean close(Connection connection){

try{

if(connection != null)

connection.close();

} catch(SQLException sqle){

return false;

}

return true;

} // end close method

  

} // end TestConnect
