Mysql BIT_LENGTH() Function Example Using Java Servlet

In this tutorial you will learn how to use bit_length() function of mysql with java servlet

BIT_LENGTH() method of mysql, a string is passed into its parameter and then it gives back the length of that string in bits.

Syntax :

bit_length('expression')

Here expression can be a string, a character, special character or numbers.

Now, since I have to use this function in java servlet program, therefore I have created a java servlet class named MysqlBitLengthServlet which extends the HttpServlet class. In the body of class I overridden the method doGet() and created an objects of HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse into its parameter. Inside the doGet() method first I set the mime type that in which format the browser will show the output. In the next line I used the getWriter() method of ServletResponse interface with the object of HttpServletResponse. HttpServletResponse interface extends this method from the ServletResponse. In Next step I am taking an input using the getParameter() method of ServletRequest with the object of HttpServletRequest. In continue we have to establish a connection between java code and database system. So, since I am using Mysql in the example given below therefore, I am loading the driver of mysql and make a connection by using the getConnection() method of DriverManager class. It returns a Connection. Further I am passing the query "SELECT BIT_LENGTH("+"'"+bt+"'"+")"; (This query will return the length of string for the value input by the user. In this query bt is a variable name that stores the value that is given by the user. getParameter() method is used to take and store the value of this variable in source/java code.) into the parameter of prepareStatement() method of Connection interface which gives an object of PreparedStatement interface. In the next line I used the executeQuery() method of PreparedStatement interface which returns a ResultSet object that holds the result of query. At last I have extracted the result from the ResultSet object.

Example :
