The Java implementation is a feasible way to obtain the total number of records for all tables in the MySQL database

In MySQL, you can query how many records are in a table by SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name. What do you do if you want to know the total of all the other records in a database? This paper presents two feasible Java programs to solve this problem.

1. First determine how many tables are in the database, and then execute SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name on each table

 
import java.sql.Connection; 
import java.sql.DriverManager; 
import java.sql.PreparedStatement; 
import java.sql.ResultSet; 
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData; 
import java.sql.SQLException; 
import java.sql.Statement; 
import java.util.ArrayList; 
import java.util.List; 
public class Test { 
private static String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; 
private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/"; 
private static String db = "test"; 
private static String user = "root"; 
private static String pass = "test"; 
static Connection conn = null; 
static Statement statement = null; 
static PreparedStatement ps = null; 
static ResultSet rs = null; 

static List<String> tables = new ArrayList<String>(); 

public static void startMySQLConn() { 
try { 
Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); 
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, pass); 
if (!conn.isClosed()) { 
System.out.println("Succeeded connecting to MySQL!"); 
} 

statement = conn.createStatement(); 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 

public static void closeMySQLConn() { 
if(conn != null){ 
try { 
conn.close(); 
System.out.println("Database connection terminated!"); 
} catch (SQLException e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 
} 

public static void getTables() { 
String sql = "show tables;"; 
try { 
ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql); 
rs = ps.executeQuery(); 
while (rs.next()) { 
tables.add(rs.getString(1)); 
} 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 

public static long getDbSum() { 
long sum = 0; 
String sql = "select count(*) from "; 
try { 
for(String tblName: tables) { 
ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql + tblName + ";"); 
rs = ps.executeQuery(); 
while (rs.next()) { 
sum += rs.getInt(1); 
} 
} 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
return sum; 
} 

public static void main(String[] args) { 
startMySQLConn(); 
getTables(); 
System.out.println(getDbSum()); 
closeMySQLConn(); 
} 
} 

2. Make use of the tables table of the information_schema library

 
import java.sql.Connection; 
import java.sql.DriverManager; 
import java.sql.PreparedStatement; 
import java.sql.ResultSet; 
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData; 
import java.sql.SQLException; 
import java.sql.Statement; 
import java.util.ArrayList; 
import java.util.List; 
public class Test { 
private static String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; 
private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/"; 
private static String db = "test"; 
private static String user = "root"; 
private static String pass = "test"; 
static Connection conn = null; 
static Statement statement = null; 
static PreparedStatement ps = null; 
static ResultSet rs = null; 

public static void startMySQLConn() { 
try { 
Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); 
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, pass); 
if (!conn.isClosed()) { 
System.out.println("Succeeded connecting to MySQL!"); 
} 

statement = conn.createStatement(); 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 

public static void closeMySQLConn() { 
if(conn != null){ 
try { 
conn.close(); 
System.out.println("Database connection terminated!"); 
} catch (SQLException e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 
} 

public static void useDB() { 
String sql = "use information_schema;"; 
try { 
ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql); 
rs = ps.executeQuery(); 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
} 

public static long getDbSum() { 
long sum = 0; 
String sql = "select table_name,table_rows from tables where TABLE_SCHEMA = '" + 
db + "' order by table_rows desc;"; 
//System.out.println(sql); 
try { 
ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql); 
rs = ps.executeQuery(); 
while (rs.next()) { 
sum += rs.getInt(2); 
} 
} catch (Exception e) { 
e.printStackTrace(); 
} 
return sum; 
} 

public static void main(String[] args) { 
startMySQLConn(); 
useDB(); 
System.out.println(getDbSum()); 
closeMySQLConn(); 
} 
}
