# R2DBC Code Example (Spring Data)

## Overview

The following example uses the Spring Data R2DBC framework to select data from the table defined in [Setup for Example](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-r2dbc/using-the-spring-data-framework-with-mariadb-connector-r2dbc/setup-for-connector-r2dbc-examples-spring-data.md). Complete information on [using Connector/R2DBC with the Spring Data framework](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-r2dbc/using-the-spring-data-framework-with-mariadb-connector-r2dbc.md) is available.

```java
//Module Imports
import org.mariadb.r2dbc.MariadbConnectionConfiguration;
import org.mariadb.r2dbc.MariadbConnectionFactory;
import org.springframework.data.r2dbc.core.DatabaseClient;
import reactor.test.StepVerifier;

// Main Application Class
public class App {
  // Connection Configuration
  private static MariadbConnectionConfiguration conf;
  private static MariadbConnectionFactory connFactory;

  private static DatabaseClient client;

  // Main Process
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     try {
        conf = MariadbConnectionConfiguration.builder()
             !SILO=ent!
             .host("192.0.2.1").port(3306)
             !SILO=sky!
             .host("example.skysql.net").port(5509)
             !END-SILO!
             .username("db_user").password("db_user_password")
             .database("test").build();

        // Instantiate a Connection Factory
        connFactory = new MariadbConnectionFactory(conf);

        // Instantiate a Database Client
        client = DatabaseClient.create(connFactory);

        // Select all rows
        client.select()
           .from(Contact.class)
           .fetch().all()
           .doOnNext(it -> System.out.println(it))
           .as(StepVerifier::create)
           .expectNextCount(3)
           .verifyComplete();

        // Select the first row
        client.select()
           .from(Contact.class)
           .fetch().first()

           .as(StepVerifier::create)
           .expectNextCount(1)
           .verifyComplete();

        // Select all rows with explicit query
        client.execute("SELECT id, first_name,last_name,email FROM contact")
           .as(Contact.class)
           .filter(s -> s.fetchSize(25))
           .fetch().all()
           .doOnNext(it -> System.out.println(it))
           .as(StepVerifier::create)
           .expectNextCount(3)
           .verifyComplete();

        // Select single column
        client.execute("SELECT first_name FROM contact")
           .map((row, rowMetadata) -> row.get("first_name", String.class))
           .all()
           .doOnNext(it -> System.out.println(it))
           .as(StepVerifier::create)
           .expectNextCount(3)
           .verifyComplete();

     } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
     } catch (io.r2dbc.spi.R2dbcNonTransientResourceException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
     }

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-r2dbc/using-the-spring-data-framework-with-mariadb-connector-r2dbc/r2dbc-code-example-spring-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
