Mysql LOG() Function Example Using Java Servlet
In this tutorial you will learn about how to use the log() function in math function of mysql with java servlet.
LOG() function in MySql the real number is passed as an argument into its parameter and gives its natural log value and returns null if the value is given to less than or equal to 0. Logarithm of a function can be defined as if x = by then y = logb(x) and read as logarithm of x to base b. for example log4(64) = 3. (Syntax is given below) With the single parameter this function acts as the inverse of the function exp(). and with the two parameter this function is work as equivalent to log(num) / log(base).
Syntax :
(1) log(num);
(2) log(base,num);
Here base indicates the base of number.
Now, since I have to use this function in java servlet program, therefore I have created a java servlet class named MysqlLogServlet 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 inputs 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 passed the query "SELECT LOG("+base+","+num+")"; (Here 'base' and 'num' is a variable that stores the value given by the user in their respective textfields.) 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.
