Best-Practice

Hey, tea lovers! Today, we will talk about the JDBC, the code which connects Java code to the realm of the databases, and the best practices of JDBC to achieve greatness in the performance of database operations. We will talk about the best practices as we talked about in “ What’s In A Name: Java Naming Conventions” but this time, it is about the JDBC best practices. These are the small tweaks you can do to your code that, not only makes it much faster but also makes your code less horrific. It will be like a list to improve the JDBC or we can say, handle the database like a pro. So let us start the adventure. ...

Hey, Tea Lovers! Today we will talk about the java naming conventions, according to the best practices. Imagine a world without names. What would happen if nothing in this world had a name? This article would have been a very different story. Oh sorry, we wouldn’t even be able to tell the story. What about if we had weird names? Then what will aliens think about us, that we are a bunch of idiots with weird names? So, everything is in the name, especially when it comes to programming languages. So it is important to focus on naming conventions. ...

Hey, Tea Lovers! Today we will talk about the Thread Pool in Java. And how it saves resources and increases performance. And also, why we should use a thread pool in Java if we are building a multi-threaded java application? Threads in Java Before we talk about the thread pool in Java, let’s revisit threads. Threads are simple yet powerful things. By creating multiple threads, and multithreading applications, you can do tasks simultaneously. Wow, how cool and how efficient, right? But wait, if there is a heaven there is a hell. ...

Hey. Tea Lovers! Today we will discuss batching and how to use batch in JDBC to insert huge data. Before jumping in, I would suggest you look at my previous posts, " How to Achieve Greatness in JDBC Performance" and " JDBC Connection Pooling Explained with HikariCP". This will help you to further increase the performance along with reliability, maintainability, and flexibility. Why use Batch Insertion Many of you have worked on some projects where you needed to insert a large amount of data into the database. I prefer just using plain JDBC for this kind of job to give the operation a significant boost. But inserting the record one by one as we do is a very slow process. We need to wait until the data of a single record goes to the database, insert happens and then over the network, an acknowledgment occurs, phew! Luckily in JDBC, we have batch operations. With this, we can insert the data in batches rather than one by one, giving a huge advantage. ...

Hey, tea lovers! Today we are going to talk about the Eclipse IDE Plugins that every programmer must have. These plugins help you to boost your productivity. These are free-to-use plugins and don’t require too much effort to set up. This post is one of the series on Plugins or Extensions every Programmer needs for their IDE. We already discussed these for IntelliJ IDEA and VSCode. Please check them out. Let’s just jump right into it and explore these plugins. But before preparing your cup of tea sip and code. ...

Hey, tea lovers! Have you ever heard about connection pooling in JDBC or HikariCP? If not, no worries at all, that is what this post is all about. We will talk about all the things about the JDBC connection pool and its implementation using HikariCP. HikariCP is one of the fastest connection pooling available in the market for JDBC connections. It makes connection pooling very easy. get ready to learn more about this beast. But before, make your tea to sip and learn. And for the example used in the post, you can find it on GitHub here or the full project here. ...
