PreparedStatement Interface

PreparedStatement interface

The PreparedStatement interface is a subinterface of Statement. It is used to execute parameterized query.

Let's see the example of parameterized query:

  1. String sql="insert into emp values(?,?,?)";  

As you can see, we are passing parameter (?) for the values. Its value will be set by calling the setter methods of PreparedStatement.

Why use PreparedStatement?

Improves performance: The performance of the application will be faster if you use PreparedStatement interface because query is compiled only once.

How to get the instance of PreparedStatement?

The prepareStatement() method of Connection interface is used to return the object of PreparedStatement. Syntax:

  1. public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String query)throws SQLException{}  

Methods of PreparedStatement interface

The important methods of PreparedStatement interface are given below:

MethodDescription
public void setInt(int paramIndex, int value)sets the integer value to the given parameter index.
public void setString(int paramIndex, String value)sets the String value to the given parameter index.
public void setFloat(int paramIndex, float value)sets the float value to the given parameter index.
public void setDouble(int paramIndex, double value)sets the double value to the given parameter index.
public int executeUpdate()executes the query. It is used for create, drop, insert, update, delete etc.
public ResultSet executeQuery()executes the select query. It returns an instance of ResultSet.

Example of PreparedStatement interface that inserts the record

First of all create table as given below:

  1. create table emp(id number(10),name varchar2(50));  

Now insert records in this table by the code given below:

  1. import java.sql.*;  
  2. class InsertPrepared{  
  3. public static void main(String args[]){  
  4. try{  
  5. Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");  
  6.   
  7. Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe","system","oracle");  
  8.   
  9. PreparedStatement stmt=con.prepareStatement("insert into Emp values(?,?)");  
  10. stmt.setInt(1,101);//1 specifies the first parameter in the query  
  11. stmt.setString(2,"Ratan");  
  12.   
  13. int i=stmt.executeUpdate();  
  14. System.out.println(i+" records inserted");  
  15.   
  16. con.close();  
  17.   
  18. }catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e);}  
  19.   
  20. }  
  21. }  

Example of PreparedStatement interface that updates the record

  1. PreparedStatement stmt=con.prepareStatement("update emp set name=? where id=?");  
  2. stmt.setString(1,"Sonoo");//1 specifies the first parameter in the query i.e. name  
  3. stmt.setInt(2,101);  
  4.   
  5. int i=stmt.executeUpdate();  
  6. System.out.println(i+" records updated");  

Example of PreparedStatement interface that deletes the record

  1. PreparedStatement stmt=con.prepareStatement("delete from emp where id=?");  
  2. stmt.setInt(1,101);  
  3.   
  4. int i=stmt.executeUpdate();  
  5. System.out.println(i+" records deleted");  

Example of PreparedStatement interface that retrieve the records of a table

  1. PreparedStatement stmt=con.prepareStatement("select * from emp");  
  2. ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery();  
  3. while(rs.next()){  
  4. System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));  
  5. }  

Example of PreparedStatement to insert records until user press n

  1. import java.sql.*;  
  2. import java.io.*;  
  3. class RS{  
  4. public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{  
  5. Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");  
  6. Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe","system","oracle");  
  7.   
  8. PreparedStatement ps=con.prepareStatement("insert into emp130 values(?,?,?)");  
  9.   
  10. BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));  
  11.   
  12. do{  
  13. System.out.println("enter id:");  
  14. int id=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());  
  15. System.out.println("enter name:");  
  16. String name=br.readLine();  
  17. System.out.println("enter salary:");  
  18. float salary=Float.parseFloat(br.readLine());  
  19.   
  20. ps.setInt(1,id);  
  21. ps.setString(2,name);  
  22. ps.setFloat(3,salary);  
  23. int i=ps.executeUpdate();  
  24. System.out.println(i+" records affected");  
  25.   
  26. System.out.println("Do you want to continue: y/n");  
  27. String s=br.readLine();  
  28. if(s.startsWith("n")){  
  29. break;  
  30. }  
  31. }while(true);  
  32.   
  33. con.close();  
  34. }}

Data Warehousing - An Overview

Anurag Information Technology (IT) has historically influenced organizational performance and competitive standing. The increasing processing power and sophistication of analytical tools and techniques have put the strong foundation for the product called data warehouse. There are a number of reasons that any organization should consider a data warehouse, which can be the critical tool for maximizing the organization’s investment in the information it has collected and stored throughout the enterprise. IT managers need to understand the rationale and benefits of data warehouses because they may need to design and implement, or procure this kingpin of business intelligence. The data warehouses are supposed to provide storage, functionality and responsiveness to queries beyond the capabilities of today's transaction-oriented databases. Also data warehouses are set to improve the data access performance of databases. Traditional databases balance the requirement of data access w...

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genotype Representation

Binary Representation This is one of the simplest and most widely used representation in GAs. In this type of representation the genotype consists of bit strings. For some problems when the solution space consists of Boolean decision variables – yes or no, the binary representation is natural. Take for example the 0/1 Knapsack Problem. If there are n items, we can represent a solution by a binary string of n elements, where the x th  element tells whether the item x is picked (1) or not (0). For other problems, specifically those dealing with numbers, we can represent the numbers with their binary representation. The problem with this kind of encoding is that different bits have different significance and therefore mutation and crossover operators can have undesired consequences. This can be resolved to some extent by using  Gray Coding,  as a change in one bit does not have a massive effect on the solution. Real Valued Representation For problems where we want to define ...
