Methods Summary
public void	addBatch(java.lang.String sql) Adds the given SQL command to the current list of commmands for this Statement object. The commands in this list can be executed as a batch by calling the method executeBatch. param sql typically this is a SQL INSERT or UPDATE statement exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the driver does not support batch updates see #executeBatch see DatabaseMetaData#supportsBatchUpdates since 1.2
public void	cancel() Cancels this Statement object if both the DBMS and driver support aborting an SQL statement. This method can be used by one thread to cancel a statement that is being executed by another thread. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement exception SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method
public void	clearBatch() Empties this Statement object's current list of SQL commands. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the driver does not support batch updates see #addBatch see DatabaseMetaData#supportsBatchUpdates since 1.2
public void	clearWarnings() Clears all the warnings reported on this Statement object. After a call to this method, the method getWarnings will return null until a new warning is reported for this Statement object. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement
public void	close() Releases this Statement object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for this to happen when it is automatically closed. It is generally good practice to release resources as soon as you are finished with them to avoid tying up database resources. Calling the method close on a Statement object that is already closed has no effect. Note:When a Statement object is closed, its current ResultSet object, if one exists, is also closed. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs
public boolean	execute(java.lang.String sql) Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results. In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string. The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s). param sql any SQL statement return true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #getResultSet see #getUpdateCount see #getMoreResults
public boolean	execute(java.lang.String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys) Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that any auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval. The driver will ignore this signal if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific). In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string. The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s). param sql any SQL statement param autoGeneratedKeys a constant indicating whether auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval using the method getGeneratedKeys; one of the following constants: Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS or Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS return true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the second parameter supplied to this method is not Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS or Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS. exception SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method with a constant of Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS see #getResultSet see #getUpdateCount see #getMoreResults see #getGeneratedKeys since 1.4
public boolean	execute(java.lang.String sql, int[] columnIndexes) Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that the auto-generated keys indicated in the given array should be made available for retrieval. This array contains the indexes of the columns in the target table that contain the auto-generated keys that should be made available. The driver will ignore the array if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific). Under some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string. The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s). param sql any SQL statement param columnIndexes an array of the indexes of the columns in the inserted row that should be made available for retrieval by a call to the method getGeneratedKeys return true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the elements in the int array passed to this method are not valid column indexes throws SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method see #getResultSet see #getUpdateCount see #getMoreResults since 1.4
public boolean	execute(java.lang.String sql, java.lang.String[] columnNames) Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that the auto-generated keys indicated in the given array should be made available for retrieval. This array contains the names of the columns in the target table that contain the auto-generated keys that should be made available. The driver will ignore the array if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific). In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string. The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s). param sql any SQL statement param columnNames an array of the names of the columns in the inserted row that should be made available for retrieval by a call to the method getGeneratedKeys return true if the next result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no more results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the elements of the String array passed to this method are not valid column names throws SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method see #getResultSet see #getUpdateCount see #getMoreResults see #getGeneratedKeys since 1.4
public int[]	executeBatch() Submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The int elements of the array that is returned are ordered to correspond to the commands in the batch, which are ordered according to the order in which they were added to the batch. The elements in the array returned by the method executeBatch may be one of the following: A number greater than or equal to zero -- indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution A value of SUCCESS_NO_INFO -- indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown If one of the commands in a batch update fails to execute properly, this method throws a BatchUpdateException, and a JDBC driver may or may not continue to process the remaining commands in the batch. However, the driver's behavior must be consistent with a particular DBMS, either always continuing to process commands or never continuing to process commands. If the driver continues processing after a failure, the array returned by the method BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts will contain as many elements as there are commands in the batch, and at least one of the elements will be the following: A value of EXECUTE_FAILED -- indicates that the command failed to execute successfully and occurs only if a driver continues to process commands after a command fails The possible implementations and return values have been modified in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 to accommodate the option of continuing to proccess commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException obejct has been thrown. return an array of update counts containing one element for each command in the batch. The elements of the array are ordered according to the order in which commands were added to the batch. exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the driver does not support batch statements. Throws {@link BatchUpdateException} (a subclass of SQLException) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set. see #addBatch see DatabaseMetaData#supportsBatchUpdates since 1.3

public java.sql.Connection	getConnection() Retrieves the Connection object that produced this Statement object. return the connection that produced this statement exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.2
public int	getFetchDirection() Retrieves the direction for fetching rows from database tables that is the default for result sets generated from this Statement object. If this Statement object has not set a fetch direction by calling the method setFetchDirection, the return value is implementation-specific. return the default fetch direction for result sets generated from this Statement object exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.2 see #setFetchDirection
public int	getFetchSize() Retrieves the number of result set rows that is the default fetch size for ResultSet objects generated from this Statement object. If this Statement object has not set a fetch size by calling the method setFetchSize, the return value is implementation-specific. return the default fetch size for result sets generated from this Statement object exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.2 see #setFetchSize
public java.sql.ResultSet	getGeneratedKeys() Retrieves any auto-generated keys created as a result of executing this Statement object. If this Statement object did not generate any keys, an empty ResultSet object is returned. Note:If the columns which represent the auto-generated keys were not specified, the JDBC driver implementation will determine the columns which best represent the auto-generated keys. return a ResultSet object containing the auto-generated key(s) generated by the execution of this Statement object exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement throws SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method since 1.4
public int	getMaxFieldSize() Retrieves the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, NCHAR, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR and LONGVARCHAR columns. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. return the current column size limit for columns storing character and binary values; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #setMaxFieldSize
public int	getMaxRows() Retrieves the maximum number of rows that a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object can contain. If this limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped. return the current maximum number of rows for a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #setMaxRows
public boolean	getMoreResults() Moves to this Statement object's next result, returns true if it is a ResultSet object, and implicitly closes any current ResultSet object(s) obtained with the method getResultSet. There are no more results when the following is true: // stmt is a Statement object ((stmt.getMoreResults() == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1)) return true if the next result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no more results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #execute
public boolean	getMoreResults(int current) Moves to this Statement object's next result, deals with any current ResultSet object(s) according to the instructions specified by the given flag, and returns true if the next result is a ResultSet object. There are no more results when the following is true: // stmt is a Statement object ((stmt.getMoreResults(current) == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1)) param current one of the following Statement constants indicating what should happen to current ResultSet objects obtained using the method getResultSet: Statement.CLOSE_CURRENT_RESULT, Statement.KEEP_CURRENT_RESULT, or Statement.CLOSE_ALL_RESULTS return true if the next result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no more results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the argument supplied is not one of the following: Statement.CLOSE_CURRENT_RESULT, Statement.KEEP_CURRENT_RESULT or Statement.CLOSE_ALL_RESULTS exception SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if DatabaseMetaData.supportsMultipleOpenResults returns false and either Statement.KEEP_CURRENT_RESULT or Statement.CLOSE_ALL_RESULTS are supplied as the argument. since 1.4 see #execute
public int	getQueryTimeout() Retrieves the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute. If the limit is exceeded, a SQLException is thrown. return the current query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #setQueryTimeout
public java.sql.ResultSet	getResultSet() Retrieves the current result as a ResultSet object. This method should be called only once per result. return the current result as a ResultSet object or null if the result is an update count or there are no more results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #execute
public int	getResultSetConcurrency() Retrieves the result set concurrency for ResultSet objects generated by this Statement object. return either ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY or ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.2
public int	getResultSetHoldability() Retrieves the result set holdability for ResultSet objects generated by this Statement object. return either ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT or ResultSet.CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.4

public int	getUpdateCount() Retrieves the current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results, -1 is returned. This method should be called only once per result. return the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement see #execute
public java.sql.SQLWarning	getWarnings() Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this Statement object. Subsequent Statement object warnings will be chained to this SQLWarning object. The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a statement is (re)executed. This method may not be called on a closed Statement object; doing so will cause an SQLException to be thrown. Note: If you are processing a ResultSet object, any warnings associated with reads on that ResultSet object will be chained on it rather than on the Statement object that produced it. return the first SQLWarning object or null if there are no warnings exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement
public boolean	isClosed() Retrieves whether this Statement object has been closed. A Statement is closed if the method close has been called on it, or if it is automatically closed. return true if this Statement object is closed; false if it is still open throws SQLException if a database access error occurs since 1.6
public boolean	isPoolable() Returns a value indicating whether the Statement is poolable or not. return true if the Statement is poolable; false otherwise throws SQLException if this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.6 see java.sql.Statement#setPoolable(boolean) setPoolable(boolean)
public void	setCursorName(java.lang.String name) Sets the SQL cursor name to the given String, which will be used by subsequent Statement object execute methods. This name can then be used in SQL positioned update or delete statements to identify the current row in the ResultSet object generated by this statement. If the database does not support positioned update/delete, this method is a noop. To insure that a cursor has the proper isolation level to support updates, the cursor's SELECT statement should have the form SELECT FOR UPDATE. If FOR UPDATE is not present, positioned updates may fail. Note: By definition, the execution of positioned updates and deletes must be done by a different Statement object than the one that generated the ResultSet object being used for positioning. Also, cursor names must be unique within a connection. param name the new cursor name, which must be unique within a connection exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement throws SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method
public void	setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable) Sets escape processing on or off. If escape scanning is on (the default), the driver will do escape substitution before sending the SQL statement to the database. Note: Since prepared statements have usually been parsed prior to making this call, disabling escape processing for PreparedStatements objects will have no effect. param enable true to enable escape processing; false to disable it exception SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement
public void	setFetchDirection(int direction) Gives the driver a hint as to the direction in which rows will be processed in ResultSet objects created using this Statement object. The default value is ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD. Note that this method sets the default fetch direction for result sets generated by this Statement object. Each result set has its own methods for getting and setting its own fetch direction. param direction the initial direction for processing rows exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the given direction is not one of ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD, ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE, or ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN since 1.2 see #getFetchDirection
public void	setFetchSize(int rows) Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for ResultSet objects genrated by this Statement. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored. The default value is zero. param rows the number of rows to fetch exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition rows >= 0 is not satisfied. since 1.2 see #getFetchSize
public void	setMaxFieldSize(int max) Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, NCHAR, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR and LONGVARCHAR fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256. param max the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied see #getMaxFieldSize
public void	setMaxRows(int max) Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any ResultSet object generated by this Statement object can contain to the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped. param max the new max rows limit; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied see #getMaxRows
public void	setPoolable(boolean poolable) Requests that a Statement be pooled or not pooled. The value specified is a hint to the statement pool implementation indicating whether the applicaiton wants the statement to be pooled. It is up to the statement pool manager as to whether the hint is used. The poolable value of a statement is applicable to both internal statement caches implemented by the driver and external statement caches implemented by application servers and other applications. By default, a Statement is not poolable when created, and a PreparedStatement and CallableStatement are poolable when created. param poolable requests that the statement be pooled if true and that the statement not be pooled if false throws SQLException if this method is called on a closed Statement since 1.6
public void	setQueryTimeout(int seconds) Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute to the given number of seconds. If the limit is exceeded, an SQLException is thrown. A JDBC driver must apply this limit to the execute, executeQuery and executeUpdate methods. JDBC driver implementations may also apply this limit to ResultSet methods (consult your driver vendor documentation for details). param seconds the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit exception SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied see #getQueryTimeout
