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. }}

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...

Genetic Algorithm: Population, Fitness Function, Parent Selection, Cross over, Mutation

Genetic Algo Population Population is a subset of solutions in the current generation. It can also be defined as a set of chromosomes. There are several things to be kept in mind when dealing with GA population − The diversity of the population should be maintained otherwise it might lead to premature convergence. The population size should not be kept very large as it can cause a GA to slow down, while a smaller population might not be enough for a good mating pool. Therefore, an optimal population size needs to be decided by trial and error. The population is usually defined as a two dimensional array of –  size population, size x, chromosome size . Population Initialization There are two primary methods to initialize a population in a GA. They are − Random Initialization  − Populate the initial population with completely random solutions. Heuristic initialization  − Populate the initial population using a known heuristic for the problem. It has been observed that the e...

C++ (Object and Class)

The major purpose of C++ programming is to introduce the concept of object orientation to the C programming language. Object Oriented Programming is a paradigm that provides many concepts such as  inheritance, data binding, polymorphism etc. The programming paradigm where everything is represented as an object is known as truly object-oriented programming language.  Smalltalk  is considered as the first truly object-oriented programming language. OOPs (Object Oriented Programming System) Object  means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc.  Object-Oriented Programming  is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development and maintenance by providing some concepts: Object Class Inheritance Polymorphism Abstraction Encapsulation C++ Object In C++, Object is a real world entity, for example, chair, car, pen, mobile, laptop etc. In other words, object is an ent...
