After Connecting from Code, you can execute SQL statements with the Statement class. See Using Prepared Statements to execute parameterized statements.

Select

To execute SQL statements that return data, use the Statement class' generic execute method or the executeQuery method. To return the results of a query, call the getResultSet method of the Statement.

The following example calls the execute method and iterates over the results returned:

Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT UserKey, Email FROM Users");
if (ret) {
  ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet();
  while(rs.next()) {
    for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++) {
      System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnLabel(i) +"="+rs.getString(i));
    }
  }
}
