PreparedStatement

public interface PreparedStatement
implements Statement

java.sql.PreparedStatement

Known indirect subclasses

CallableStatement The interface used to execute SQL stored procedures.

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)

Public methods

addBatch

Added in API level 1

public abstract void addBatch ()

Adds a set of parameters to this PreparedStatement object's batch of commands.

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

See also:

Statement.addBatch(String)

clearParameters

Added in API level 1

public abstract void clearParameters ()

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.

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

execute

Added in API level 1

public abstract boolean execute ()

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).

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if the first result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if the first result is an update count or there is no result

Throws
`SQLException`	if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement` or an argument is supplied to this method
`SQLTimeoutException`	when the driver has determined that the timeout value that was specified by the `setQueryTimeout` method has been exceeded and has at least attempted to cancel the currently running `Statement`

See also:

executeQuery

Added in API level 1

public abstract ResultSet executeQuery ()

Executes the SQL query in this PreparedStatement object and returns the ResultSet object generated by the query.

Returns
`ResultSet`	a `ResultSet` object that contains the data produced by the query; never `null`

Throws
`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
`SQLTimeoutException`	when the driver has determined that the timeout value that was specified by the `setQueryTimeout` method has been exceeded and has at least attempted to cancel the currently running `Statement`

executeUpdate

Added in API level 1

public abstract int executeUpdate ()

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.

Returns
`int`	either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing

Throws
`SQLException`	if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement` or the SQL statement returns a `ResultSet` object
`SQLTimeoutException`	when the driver has determined that the timeout value that was specified by the `setQueryTimeout` method has been exceeded and has at least attempted to cancel the currently running `Statement`

getMetaData

Added in API level 1

public abstract ResultSetMetaData getMetaData ()

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.

Returns
`ResultSetMetaData`	the description of a `ResultSet` object's columns or `null` if the driver cannot return a `ResultSetMetaData` object

Throws
`SQLException`	if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`
`SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`	if the JDBC driver does not support this method

getParameterMetaData

Added in API level 1

public abstract ParameterMetaData getParameterMetaData ()

Retrieves the number, types and properties of this PreparedStatement object's parameters.

Returns
`ParameterMetaData`	a `ParameterMetaData` object that contains information about the number, types and properties for each parameter marker of this `PreparedStatement` object

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

See also:

ParameterMetaData

setArray

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setArray (int parameterIndex, 
                Array x)

Sets the designated parameter to the given java.sql.Array object. The driver converts this to an SQL ARRAY value when it sends it to the database.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`Array`: an `Array` object that maps an SQL `ARRAY` value

public abstract void setAsciiStream (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream x, 
                long 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.

setAsciiStream

Added in API level 9

public abstract void setAsciiStream (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream x)

Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream. 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. Data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. 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.

Note: Consult your JDBC driver documentation to determine if it might be more efficient to use a version of setAsciiStream which takes a length parameter.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`InputStream`: the Java input stream that contains the ASCII parameter value

`x`	`BigDecimal`: the parameter value

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`

setBinaryStream

Added in API level 9

public abstract void setBinaryStream (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream x, 
                long length)

Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. 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 object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached.

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

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

Note: Consult your JDBC driver documentation to determine if it might be more efficient to use a version of setBinaryStream which takes a length parameter.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`InputStream`: the java input stream which contains the binary parameter value

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setBinaryStream (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream x, 
                int length)

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

setBlob

Added in API level 9

public abstract void setBlob (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream inputStream, 
                long length)

Sets the designated parameter to a InputStream object. The inputstream must contain the number of characters specified by length otherwise a SQLException will be generated when the PreparedStatement is executed. This method differs from the setBinaryStream (int, InputStream, int) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a BLOB. When the setBinaryStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARBINARY or a BLOB

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: index of the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`inputStream`	`InputStream`: An object that contains the data to set the parameter value to.
`length`	`long`: the number of bytes in the parameter data.

Throws
`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`; if the length specified is less than zero or if the number of bytes in the inputstream does not match the specfied length.
`SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`	if the JDBC driver does not support this method

setBlob

Added in API level 9

public abstract void setBlob (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream inputStream)

Sets the designated parameter to a InputStream object. This method differs from the setBinaryStream (int, InputStream) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a BLOB. When the setBinaryStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARBINARY or a BLOB

                Reader reader, 
                long length)

Sets the designated parameter to the given Reader object, which is the given number of characters long. When a very large UNICODE value is input to a LONGVARCHAR parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.Reader 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.

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

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`reader`	`Reader`: the `java.io.Reader` object that contains the Unicode data
`length`	`long`: the number of characters in the stream

setCharacterStream

Added in API level 9

public abstract void setCharacterStream (int parameterIndex, 
                Reader reader)

Sets the designated parameter to the given Reader object. When a very large UNICODE value is input to a LONGVARCHAR parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.Reader 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.

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

Note: Consult your JDBC driver documentation to determine if it might be more efficient to use a version of setCharacterStream which takes a length parameter.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`reader`	`Reader`: the `java.io.Reader` object that contains the Unicode data

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`

setNull

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setNull (int parameterIndex, 
                int sqlType, 
                String typeName)

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.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`sqlType`	`int`: a value from `java.sql.Types`
`typeName`	`String`: the fully-qualified name of an SQL user-defined type; ignored if the parameter is not a user-defined type or REF

setObject

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setObject (int parameterIndex, 
                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.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`Object`: the object containing the input parameter value
`targetSqlType`	`int`: the SQL type (as defined in java.sql.Types) to be sent to the database. The scale argument may further qualify this type.
`scaleOrLength`	`int`: 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.

Throws
`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
`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

Types

setObject

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setObject (int parameterIndex, 
                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.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`Object`: the object containing the input parameter value

Throws
`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

If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone, which is that of the virtual machine running the application.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`Timestamp`: the parameter value
`cal`	`Calendar`: the `Calendar` object the driver will use to construct the timestamp

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`

setURL

Added in API level 1

public abstract void setURL (int parameterIndex, 
                URL x)

Sets the designated parameter to the given java.net.URL value. The driver converts this to an SQL DATALINK value when it sends it to the database.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`URL`: the `java.net.URL` object to be set

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`
`SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`	if the JDBC driver does not support this method

setUnicodeStream

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15

public abstract void setUnicodeStream (int parameterIndex, 
                InputStream x, 
                int length)

This method was deprecated in API level 15.
Use setCharacterStream

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.

Parameters
`parameterIndex`	`int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
`x`	`InputStream`: a `java.io.InputStream` object that contains the Unicode parameter value
`length`	`int`: the number of bytes in the stream

Throws
`SQLException`	if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `PreparedStatement`
`SQLFeatureNotSupportedException`	if the JDBC driver does not support this method
