PreparedStatement

public interface PreparedStatement implements Statement
An object that represents a precompiled SQL statement.

A SQL statement is precompiled and stored in a PreparedStatement object. This object can then be used to efficiently execute this statement multiple times.

Note: The setter methods (setShort, setString, and so on) for setting IN parameter values must specify types that are compatible with the defined SQL type of the input parameter. For instance, if the IN parameter has SQL type INTEGER, then the method setInt should be used.

If arbitrary parameter type conversions are required, the method setObject should be used with a target SQL type.

In the following example of setting a parameter, con represents an active connection:

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET SALARY = ? WHERE ID = ?");
pstmt.setBigDecimal(1, 153833.00)
pstmt.setInt(2, 110592)

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public voidaddBatch()
Adds a set of parameters to this PreparedStatement object's batch of commands.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
see
Statement#addBatch
since
1.2

public voidclearParameters()
Clears the current parameter values immediately.

In general, parameter values remain in force for repeated use of a statement. Setting a parameter value automatically clears its previous value. However, in some cases it is useful to immediately release the resources used by the current parameter values; this can be done by calling the method clearParameters.

exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement

public booleanexecute()
Executes the SQL statement in this PreparedStatement object, which may be any kind of SQL statement. Some prepared statements return multiple results; the execute method handles these complex statements as well as the simpler form of statements handled by the methods executeQuery and executeUpdate.

The execute method returns a boolean to indicate the form of the first result. You must call either the method getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result; you must call getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s).

return
true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if the first result is an update count or there is no result
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or an argument is supplied to this method

Statement#getMoreResults

public java.sql.ResultSetexecuteQuery()
Executes the SQL query in this PreparedStatement object and returns the ResultSet object generated by the query.

return
a ResultSet object that contains the data produced by the query; never null
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or the SQL statement does not return a ResultSet object

public intexecuteUpdate()
Executes the SQL statement in this PreparedStatement object, which must be an SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statement, such as INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE; or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as a DDL statement.

return
either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or the SQL statement returns a ResultSet object

public java.sql.ResultSetMetaDatagetMetaData()
Retrieves a ResultSetMetaData object that contains information about the columns of the ResultSet object that will be returned when this PreparedStatement object is executed.

Because a PreparedStatement object is precompiled, it is possible to know about the ResultSet object that it will return without having to execute it. Consequently, it is possible to invoke the method getMetaData on a PreparedStatement object rather than waiting to execute it and then invoking the ResultSet.getMetaData method on the ResultSet object that is returned.

NOTE: Using this method may be expensive for some drivers due to the lack of underlying DBMS support.

return
the description of a ResultSet object's columns or null if the driver cannot return a ResultSetMetaData object
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
exception
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method
since
1.2

public java.sql.ParameterMetaDatagetParameterMetaData()
Retrieves the number, types and properties of this PreparedStatement object's parameters.

return
a ParameterMetaData object that contains information about the number, types and properties for each parameter marker of this PreparedStatement object
exception
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
see
ParameterMetaData
since
1.4

since
1.2

public voidsetAsciiStream(int parameterIndex, java.io.InputStream x, int length)
Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. When a very large ASCII value is input to a LONGVARCHAR parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.InputStream.

Sets the designated parameter to SQL NULL. This version of the method setNull should be used for user-defined types and REF type parameters. Examples of user-defined types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types.

Note: To be portable, applications must give the SQL type code and the fully-qualified SQL type name when specifying a NULL user-defined or REF parameter. In the case of a user-defined type the name is the type name of the parameter itself. For a REF parameter, the name is the type name of the referenced type. If a JDBC driver does not need the type code or type name information, it may ignore it. Although it is intended for user-defined and Ref parameters, this method may be used to set a null parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-defined or REF type, the given typeName is ignored.

public voidsetObject(int parameterIndex, java.lang.Object x)

Sets the value of the designated parameter using the given object. The second parameter must be of type Object; therefore, the java.lang equivalent objects should be used for built-in types.

The JDBC specification specifies a standard mapping from Java Object types to SQL types. The given argument will be converted to the corresponding SQL type before being sent to the database.

Note that this method may be used to pass datatabase- specific abstract data types, by using a driver-specific Java type. If the object is of a class implementing the interface SQLData, the JDBC driver should call the method SQLData.writeSQL to write it to the SQL data stream. If, on the other hand, the object is of a class implementing Ref, Blob, Clob, NClob, Struct, java.net.URL, RowId, SQLXML or Array, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.

Note: Not all databases allow for a non-typed Null to be sent to the backend. For maximum portability, the setNull or the setObject(int parameterIndex, Object x, int sqlType) method should be used instead of setObject(int parameterIndex, Object x).

Note: This method throws an exception if there is an ambiguity, for example, if the object is of a class implementing more than one of the interfaces named above.

param
parameterIndex the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
param
x the object containing the input parameter value
exception
SQLException if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or the type of the given object is ambiguous

public voidsetObject(int parameterIndex, java.lang.Object x, int targetSqlType, int scaleOrLength)

Sets the value of the designated parameter with the given object. The second argument must be an object type; for integral values, the java.lang equivalent objects should be used. If the second argument is an InputStream then the stream must contain the number of bytes specified by scaleOrLength. If the second argument is a Reader then the reader must contain the number of characters specified by scaleOrLength. If these conditions are not true the driver will generate a SQLException when the prepared statement is executed.

The given Java object will be converted to the given targetSqlType before being sent to the database. If the object has a custom mapping (is of a class implementing the interface SQLData), the JDBC driver should call the method SQLData.writeSQL to write it to the SQL data stream. If, on the other hand, the object is of a class implementing Ref, Blob, Clob, NClob, Struct, java.net.URL, or Array, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.

Note that this method may be used to pass database-specific abstract data types.

param
parameterIndex the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
param
x the object containing the input parameter value
param
targetSqlType the SQL type (as defined in java.sql.Types) to be sent to the database. The scale argument may further qualify this type.
param
scaleOrLength for java.sql.Types.DECIMAL or java.sql.Types.NUMERIC types, this is the number of digits after the decimal point. For Java Object types InputStream and Reader, this is the length of the data in the stream or reader. For all other types, this value will be ignored.
exception
SQLException if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or if the Java Object specified by x is an InputStream or Reader object and the value of the scale parameter is less than zero
exception
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if targetSqlType is a ARRAY, BLOB, CLOB, DATALINK, JAVA_OBJECT, NCHAR, NCLOB, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR, REF, ROWID, SQLXML or STRUCT data type and the JDBC driver does not support this data type

public voidsetUnicodeStream(int parameterIndex, java.io.InputStream x, int length)
Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. When a very large Unicode value is input to a LONGVARCHAR parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.InputStream object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from Unicode to the database char format. The byte format of the Unicode stream must be a Java UTF-8, as defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification.

Note: This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.
