Quickstart: Use Java and JDBC with Azure Database for PostgreSQL

  • [アーティクル]

APPLIES TO: Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server

Important

Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server is on the retirement path. We strongly recommend that you upgrade to Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server. For more information about migrating to Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server, see What's happening to Azure Database for PostgreSQL Single Server?.

This article demonstrates how to create a sample application that uses Java and JDBC to store and retrieve information in Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

JDBC is the standard Java API to connect to traditional relational databases.

In this article, we'll include two authentication methods: Microsoft Entra authentication and PostgreSQL authentication. The Passwordless tab shows the Microsoft Entra authentication and the Password tab shows the PostgreSQL authentication.

Microsoft Entra authentication is a mechanism for connecting to Azure Database for PostgreSQL using identities defined in Microsoft Entra ID. With Microsoft Entra authentication, you can manage database user identities and other Microsoft services in a central location, which simplifies permission management.

PostgreSQL authentication uses accounts stored in PostgreSQL. If you choose to use passwords as credentials for the accounts, these credentials will be stored in the user table. Because these passwords are stored in PostgreSQL, you'll need to manage the rotation of the passwords by yourself.

Prerequisites

Prepare the working environment

First, set up some environment variables. In Azure Cloud Shell, run the following commands:

export AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP=database-workshop
export AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME=<YOUR_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME>
export AZ_DATABASE_NAME=demo
export AZ_LOCATION=<YOUR_AZURE_REGION>
export AZ_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME=<YOUR_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME>
export AZ_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS=<YOUR_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS>
export CURRENT_USERNAME=$(az ad signed-in-user show --query userPrincipalName -o tsv)
export CURRENT_USER_OBJECTID=$(az ad signed-in-user show --query id -o tsv)

Replace the placeholders with the following values, which are used throughout this article:

  • <YOUR_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME>: The name of your PostgreSQL server, which should be unique across Azure.
  • <YOUR_AZURE_REGION>: The Azure region you'll use. You can use eastus by default, but we recommend that you configure a region closer to where you live. You can see the full list of available regions by entering az account list-locations.
  • <YOUR_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME>: The username of your PostgreSQL database server. Make ensure the username is a valid user in your Microsoft Entra tenant.
  • <YOUR_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS>: The IP address of your local computer, from which you'll run your Spring Boot application. One convenient way to find it is to open whatismyip.akamai.com.

Important

When setting <YOUR_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME>, the username must already exist in your Microsoft Entra tenant or you will be unable to create a Microsoft Entra user in your database.

Next, create a resource group by using the following command:

az group create \
    --name $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --location $AZ_LOCATION \
    --output tsv

Create an Azure Database for PostgreSQL instance

The following sections describe how to create and configure your database instance.

Create a PostgreSQL server and set up admin user

The first thing you'll create is a managed PostgreSQL server with an admin user.

Note

You can read more detailed information about creating PostgreSQL servers in Create an Azure Database for PostgreSQL server by using the Azure portal.

If you're using Azure CLI, run the following command to make sure it has sufficient permission:

az login --scope https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

Then run following command to create the server:

az postgres server create \
    --resource-group $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --name $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME \
    --location $AZ_LOCATION \
    --sku-name B_Gen5_1 \
    --storage-size 5120 \
    --output tsv

Now run the following command to set the Microsoft Entra admin user:

az postgres server ad-admin create \
    --resource-group $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --server-name $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME \
    --display-name $CURRENT_USERNAME \
    --object-id $CURRENT_USER_OBJECTID

Important

When setting the administrator, a new user is added to the Azure Database for PostgreSQL server with full administrator permissions. Only one Microsoft Entra admin can be created per PostgreSQL server and selection of another one will overwrite the existing Microsoft Entra admin configured for the server.

This command creates a small PostgreSQL server and sets the Active Directory admin to the signed-in user.

Configure a firewall rule for your PostgreSQL server

Azure Database for PostgreSQL instances are secured by default. They have a firewall that doesn't allow any incoming connection. To be able to use your database, you need to add a firewall rule that will allow the local IP address to access the database server.

Because you configured your local IP address at the beginning of this article, you can open the server's firewall by running the following command:

az postgres server firewall-rule create \
    --resource-group $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --name $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME-database-allow-local-ip \
    --server $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME \
    --start-ip-address $AZ_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS \
    --end-ip-address $AZ_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS \
    --output tsv

If you're connecting to your PostgreSQL server from Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on a Windows computer, you'll need to add the WSL host ID to your firewall.

Obtain the IP address of your host machine by running the following command in WSL:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Copy the IP address following the term nameserver, then use the following command to set an environment variable for the WSL IP Address:

AZ_WSL_IP_ADDRESS=<the-copied-IP-address>

Then, use the following command to open the server's firewall to your WSL-based app:

az postgres server firewall-rule create \
    --resource-group $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --name $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME-database-allow-local-ip \
    --server $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME \
    --start-ip-address $AZ_WSL_IP_ADDRESS \
    --end-ip-address $AZ_WSL_IP_ADDRESS \
    --output tsv

Configure a PostgreSQL database

The PostgreSQL server that you created earlier is empty. Use the following command to create a new database.

az postgres db create \
    --resource-group $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --name $AZ_DATABASE_NAME \
    --server-name $AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME \
    --output tsv

Create a PostgreSQL non-admin user and grant permission

Next, create a non-admin user and grant all permissions to the database.

Note

You can read more detailed information about creating PostgreSQL users in Create users in Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

Create a SQL script called create_ad_user.sql for creating a non-admin user. Add the following contents and save it locally:

cat << EOF > create_ad_user.sql
SET aad_validate_oids_in_tenant = off;
CREATE ROLE "$AZ_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME" WITH LOGIN IN ROLE azure_ad_user;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE $AZ_DATABASE_NAME TO "$AZ_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME";
EOF

Then, use the following command to run the SQL script to create the Microsoft Entra non-admin user:

psql "host=$AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME.postgres.database.azure.com user=$CURRENT_USERNAME@$AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME dbname=$AZ_DATABASE_NAME port=5432 password=$(az account get-access-token --resource-type oss-rdbms --output tsv --query accessToken) sslmode=require" < create_ad_user.sql

Now use the following command to remove the temporary SQL script file:

rm create_ad_user.sql

Create a new Java project

Using your favorite IDE, create a new Java project using Java 8 or above, and add a pom.xml file in its root directory with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>demo</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>demo</name>

    <properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
        <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
        <version>42.3.6</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
        <artifactId>azure-identity-extensions</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

This file is an Apache Maven file that configures your project to use Java 8 and a recent PostgreSQL driver for Java.

Prepare a configuration file to connect to Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Create a src/main/resources/application.properties file, then add the following contents:

cat << EOF > src/main/resources/application.properties
url=jdbc:postgresql://${AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME}.postgres.database.azure.com:5432/${AZ_DATABASE_NAME}?sslmode=require&authenticationPluginClassName=com.azure.identity.extensions.jdbc.postgresql.AzurePostgresqlAuthenticationPlugin
user=${AZ_POSTGRESQL_AD_NON_ADMIN_USERNAME}@${AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME}
EOF

Note

The configuration property url has ?sslmode=require appended to tell the JDBC driver to use TLS (Transport Layer Security) when connecting to the database. Using TLS is mandatory with Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and it's a good security practice.

Create an SQL file to generate the database schema

You'll use a src/main/resources/schema.sql file to create a database schema. Create that file, then add the following contents:

cat << EOF > src/main/resources/schema.sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS todo;
CREATE TABLE todo (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, description VARCHAR(255), details VARCHAR(4096), done BOOLEAN);
EOF

Code the application

Connect to the database

Next, add the Java code that will use JDBC to store and retrieve data from your PostgreSQL server.

Create a src/main/java/DemoApplication.java file, then add the following contents:

package com.example.demo;

import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

public class DemoApplication {

    private static final Logger log;

    static {
        System.setProperty("java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format", "[%4$-7s] %5$s %n");
        log =Logger.getLogger(DemoApplication.class.getName());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        log.info("Loading application properties");
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.load(DemoApplication.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("application.properties"));

        log.info("Connecting to the database");
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(properties.getProperty("url"), properties);
        log.info("Database connection test: " + connection.getCatalog());

        log.info("Create database schema");
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(DemoApplication.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("schema.sql"));
        Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
        while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            statement.execute(scanner.nextLine());
        }

        /* Prepare for data processing in the PostgreSQL server.
        Todo todo = new Todo(1L, "configuration", "congratulations, you have set up JDBC correctly!", true);
        insertData(todo, connection);
        todo = readData(connection);
        todo.setDetails("congratulations, you have updated data!");
        updateData(todo, connection);
        deleteData(todo, connection);
        */

        log.info("Closing database connection");
        connection.close();
    }
}

This Java code will use the application.properties and the schema.sql files that you created earlier in order to connect to the PostgreSQL server and create a schema that will store your data.

In this file, you can see that we commented methods to insert, read, update and delete data. You'll code those methods in the rest of this article, and you'll be able to uncomment them one after another.

Note

The database credentials are stored in the user and password properties of the application.properties file. Those credentials are used when executing DriverManager.getConnection(properties.getProperty("url"), properties);, as the properties file is passed as an argument.

You can now execute this main class with your favorite tool:

  • Using your IDE, you should be able to right-click on the DemoApplication class and execute it.
  • Using Maven, you can run the application by using the following command: mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.demo.DemoApplication".

The application should connect to the Azure Database for PostgreSQL, create a database schema, and then close the connection, as you should see in the console logs:

[INFO   ] Loading application properties 
[INFO   ] Connecting to the database 
[INFO   ] Database connection test: demo 
[INFO   ] Create database schema 
[INFO   ] Closing database connection

Create a domain class

Create a new Todo Java class, next to the DemoApplication class, and add the following code:

package com.example.demo;

public class Todo {

    private Long id;
    private String description;
    private String details;
    private boolean done;

    public Todo() {
    }

    public Todo(Long id, String description, String details, boolean done) {
        this.id = id;
        this.description = description;
        this.details = details;
        this.done = done;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getDetails() {
        return details;
    }

    public void setDetails(String details) {
        this.details = details;
    }

    public boolean isDone() {
        return done;
    }

    public void setDone(boolean done) {
        this.done = done;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Todo{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", description='" + description + '\'' +
                ", details='" + details + '\'' +
                ", done=" + done +
                '}';
    }
}

This class is a domain model mapped on the todo table that you created when executing the schema.sql script.

Insert data into Azure Database for PostgreSQL

In the src/main/java/DemoApplication.java file, after the main method, add the following method to insert data into the database:

private static void insertData(Todo todo, Connection connection) throws SQLException {
    log.info("Insert data");
    PreparedStatement insertStatement = connection
            .prepareStatement("INSERT INTO todo (id, description, details, done) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?);");

    insertStatement.setLong(1, todo.getId());
    insertStatement.setString(2, todo.getDescription());
    insertStatement.setString(3, todo.getDetails());
    insertStatement.setBoolean(4, todo.isDone());
    insertStatement.executeUpdate();
}

You can now uncomment the two following lines in the main method:

Todo todo = new Todo(1L, "configuration", "congratulations, you have set up JDBC correctly!", true);
insertData(todo, connection);

Executing the main class should now produce the following output:

[INFO   ] Loading application properties 
[INFO   ] Connecting to the database 
[INFO   ] Database connection test: demo 
[INFO   ] Create database schema 
[INFO   ] Insert data 
[INFO   ] Closing database connection

Reading data from Azure Database for PostgreSQL

To validate that your code works correctly, read the data that you previously inserted.

In the src/main/java/DemoApplication.java file, after the insertData method, add the following method to read data from the database:

private static Todo readData(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
    log.info("Read data");
    PreparedStatement readStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM todo;");
    ResultSet resultSet = readStatement.executeQuery();
    if (!resultSet.next()) {
        log.info("There is no data in the database!");
        return null;
    }
    Todo todo = new Todo();
    todo.setId(resultSet.getLong("id"));
    todo.setDescription(resultSet.getString("description"));
    todo.setDetails(resultSet.getString("details"));
    todo.setDone(resultSet.getBoolean("done"));
    log.info("Data read from the database: " + todo.toString());
    return todo;
}

You can now uncomment the following line in the main method:

todo = readData(connection);

Executing the main class should now produce the following output:

[INFO   ] Loading application properties 
[INFO   ] Connecting to the database 
[INFO   ] Database connection test: demo 
[INFO   ] Create database schema 
[INFO   ] Insert data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] Data read from the database: Todo{id=1, description='configuration', details='congratulations, you have set up JDBC correctly!', done=true} 
[INFO   ] Closing database connection

Updating data in Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Next, update the data you previously inserted.

Still in the src/main/java/DemoApplication.java file, after the readData method, add the following method to update data inside the database:

private static void updateData(Todo todo, Connection connection) throws SQLException {
    log.info("Update data");
    PreparedStatement updateStatement = connection
            .prepareStatement("UPDATE todo SET description = ?, details = ?, done = ? WHERE id = ?;");

    updateStatement.setString(1, todo.getDescription());
    updateStatement.setString(2, todo.getDetails());
    updateStatement.setBoolean(3, todo.isDone());
    updateStatement.setLong(4, todo.getId());
    updateStatement.executeUpdate();
    readData(connection);
}

You can now uncomment the two following lines in the main method:

todo.setDetails("congratulations, you have updated data!");
updateData(todo, connection);

Executing the main class should now produce the following output:

[INFO   ] Loading application properties 
[INFO   ] Connecting to the database 
[INFO   ] Database connection test: demo 
[INFO   ] Create database schema 
[INFO   ] Insert data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] Data read from the database: Todo{id=1, description='configuration', details='congratulations, you have set up JDBC correctly!', done=true} 
[INFO   ] Update data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] Data read from the database: Todo{id=1, description='configuration', details='congratulations, you have updated data!', done=true} 
[INFO   ] Closing database connection

Deleting data in Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Finally, delete the data you previously inserted.

Still in the src/main/java/DemoApplication.java file, after the updateData method, add the following method to delete data inside the database:

private static void deleteData(Todo todo, Connection connection) throws SQLException {
    log.info("Delete data");
    PreparedStatement deleteStatement = connection.prepareStatement("DELETE FROM todo WHERE id = ?;");
    deleteStatement.setLong(1, todo.getId());
    deleteStatement.executeUpdate();
    readData(connection);
}

You can now uncomment the following line in the main method:

deleteData(todo, connection);

Executing the main class should now produce the following output:

[INFO   ] Loading application properties 
[INFO   ] Connecting to the database 
[INFO   ] Database connection test: demo 
[INFO   ] Create database schema 
[INFO   ] Insert data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] Data read from the database: Todo{id=1, description='configuration', details='congratulations, you have set up JDBC correctly!', done=true} 
[INFO   ] Update data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] Data read from the database: Todo{id=1, description='configuration', details='congratulations, you have updated data!', done=true} 
[INFO   ] Delete data 
[INFO   ] Read data 
[INFO   ] There is no data in the database! 
[INFO   ] Closing database connection

Clean up resources

Congratulations! You've created a Java application that uses JDBC to store and retrieve data from Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

To clean up all resources used during this quickstart, delete the resource group using the following command:

az group delete \
    --name $AZ_RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --yes
