<sql:param> Tag

JSP Standard Tag Library

The <sql:param> tag is used in conjunction with the <sql:query> and <sql:update> tags to provide a value placeholder. If the value is null, it sets the placeholder to SQL NULL.

Syntax

&lt;sql:param value="<string>"/>

Attributes

The <sql:param> tag has the following attributes:

Attribute Description Required Default Value
value The parameter value to be set No Body

Example Demonstration

First, you need to create an Employees table in the TEST database and add a few records. Follow these steps:

Step 1:

Open CMD and navigate to the installation directory:

C:\>
C:\>cd Program Files\MySQL\bin
C:\Program Files\MySQL\bin>

Step 2:

Log into the database:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\bin>mysql -u root -p
Enter password: ********
mysql>

Step 3:

Create the Employees table in the TEST database:

mysql> use TEST;
mysql> create table Employees
    (
     id int not null,
     age int not null,
     first varchar (255),
     last varchar (255)
    );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
mysql>

Create Data Records:

Finally, create a few records in the Employees table:

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (100, 18, 'Zara', 'Ali');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (101, 25, 'Mahnaz', 'Fatma');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (102, 30, 'Zaid', 'Khan');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (103, 28, 'Sumit', 'Mittal');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql>

Now, write a JSP file to use the <sql:update> tag to execute an SQL DELETE statement to delete the record with id=103:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ page import="java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%>

<html>
<head>
<title>JSTL sql:param Tag</title>
</head>
<body>

&lt;sql:setDataSource var="snapshot" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
     url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST"
     user="root"  password="pass123"/>

&lt;c:set var="empId" value="103"/>

&lt;sql:update dataSource="${snapshot}" var="count">
  DELETE FROM Employees WHERE Id = ?
  &lt;sql:param value="${empId}" />
</sql:update>

&lt;sql:query dataSource="${snapshot}" var="result">
SELECT * from Employees;
</sql:query>

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<th>Emp ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
&lt;c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}">
<tr>
<td><c:out value="${row.id}"/></td>
<td><c:out value="${row.first}"/></td>
<td><c:out value="${row.last}"/></td>
<td><c:out value="${row.age}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>

</body>
</html>

The results are as follows:

When using the <sql:param> tag in SQL UPDATE and SELECT statements, the usage is similar to that in DELETE statements.
