. You do not have the tables, but what is required is the code. You might not see the output. Show how to retrieve a data in your code based on the starter code and the output given. If you use printf to display each query you will run into an interesting (quirky?) problem printf assumes that every % indicates some type of formatting. Our first query ends with LIKE 'D%'. If you try to print this using printf you will get an error. The best solution to this is to use print or println instead of printf neither print nor println use the % as a formatting command. A starter code is given below:

Starter code

//DisplayAuthors.java //Displaying the contents of the Authors table. import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.Statement; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData; import java.sql.SQLException;

public class DisplayAuthors {

public static void main(String[] args) { final String DATABASE_URL = "jdbc:derby:books"; final String SELECT_QUERY = "SELECT firstName, lastName FROM Authors"; // use try-with-resources to connect to and query the database try ( Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection( DATABASE_URL, "deitel", "deitel"); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(SELECT_QUERY)) { // get ResultSet's meta data ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData(); int numberOfColumns = metaData.getColumnCount(); System.out.printf("Authors Table of Books Database:%n%n"); // display the names of the columns in the ResultSet for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) System.out.printf("%-8s\t", metaData.getColumnName(i)); System.out.println(); // display query results while (resultSet.next()) { for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++) System.out.printf("%-8s\t", resultSet.getObject(i)); System.out.println(); } }// AutoCloseable objects' close methods are called now catch (SQLException sqlException) { sqlException.printStackTrace(); }

}

}
