Interface java.sql.PreparedStatement

public interface PreparedStatement
extends Object
extends Statement

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

Note: The setXXX methods 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 setInt should be used.

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

prepareStatement, ResultSet

Method Index

o clearParameters()

In general, parameter values remain in force for repeated use of a Statement.

o execute()
Some prepared statements return multiple results; the execute method handles these complex statements as well as the simpler form of statements handled by executeQuery and executeUpdate.
o executeQuery()
A prepared SQL query is executed and its ResultSet is returned.
o executeUpdate()
Execute a SQL INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement.
o setAsciiStream(int, InputStream, int)
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.
o setBigDecimal(int, BigDecimal)
Set a parameter to a java.lang.BigDecimal value.
o setBinaryStream(int, InputStream, int)
When a very large binary value is input to a LONGVARBINARY parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.InputStream.

                                      int length) throws SQLException
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. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from ASCII to the database char format.

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

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the java input stream which contains the ASCII parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
o setUnicodeStream 
  public abstract void setUnicodeStream(int parameterIndex,
                                        InputStream x,
                                        int length) throws SQLException
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. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from UNICODE to the database char format.

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

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the java input stream which contains the UNICODE parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
o setBinaryStream 
  public abstract void setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,
                                       InputStream x,
                                       int length) throws SQLException
When a very large binary value is input to a LONGVARBINARY parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.InputStream. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file.

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

Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the java input stream which contains the binary parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
o clearParameters 
  public abstract void clearParameters() throws SQLException

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 clearParameters.

o setObject 
  public abstract void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                                 Object x,
                                 int targetSqlType,
                                 int scale) throws SQLException

Set the value of a parameter using an object; use the java.lang equivalent objects for integral values.

The given Java object will be converted to the targetSqlType before being sent to the database.

Note that this method may be used to pass datatabase- specific abstract data types. This is done by using a Driver- specific Java type and using a targetSqlType of java.sql.types.OTHER.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - The first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - The object containing the input parameter value
targetSqlType - The SQL type (as defined in java.sql.Types) to be sent to the database. The scale argument may further qualify this type.
scale - For java.sql.Types.DECIMAL or java.sql.Types.NUMERIC types this is the number of digits after the decimal. For all other types this value will be ignored,

o setObject 
  public abstract void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                                 Object x) throws SQLException

Set the value of a parameter using an object; use the java.lang equivalent objects for integral values.

The JDBC specification specifies a standard mapping from Java Object types to SQL types. The given argument java object 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.

Parameters:
parameterIndex - The first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - The object containing the input parameter value
o execute 
  public abstract boolean execute() throws SQLException
Some prepared statements return multiple results; the execute method handles these complex statements as well as the simpler form of statements handled by executeQuery and executeUpdate.
