public class jdbcPreparedStatement
extends jdbcStatement
implements java.sql.PreparedStatement

An object that represents a precompiled SQL statement.

An 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)
 

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, jdbcPreparedStatement objects are backed by a true compiled parameteric representation. Hence, there are now significant performance gains to be had by using a jdbcPreparedStatement object in preference to a jdbcStatement object, if a short-running SQL statement is to be executed more than a small number of times.

When it can be otherwise avoided, it is to be considered poor practice to fully prepare (construct), parameterize, execute, fetch and close a jdbcPreparedStatement object for each execution cycle. Indeed, under HSQLDB 1.8.0, this practice is likely to be noticably less performant for short-running statements than the equivalent process using jdbcStatement objects, albeit far more convenient, less error prone and certainly much less resource-intensive, especially when large binary and character values are involved, due to the optimized parameterization facility.

Instead, when developing an application that is not totally oriented toward the execution of ad hoc SQL, it is recommended to expend some effort toward identifing the SQL statements that are good candidates for regular reuse and adapting the structure of the application accordingly. Often, this is done by recording the text of candidate SQL statements in an application resource object (which has the nice side-benefit of isolating and hiding differences in SQL dialects across different drivers) and caching for possible reuse the PreparedStatement objects derived from the recorded text.

Multi thread use:

A PreparedStatement object is stateful and should not normally be shared by multiple threads. If it has to be shared, the calls to set the parameters, calls to add batch statements, the execute call and any post-execute calls should be made within a block synchronized on the PreparedStatement Object.

JRE 1.1.x Notes:

In general, JDBC 2 support requires Java 1.2 and above, and JDBC3 requires Java 1.4 and above. In HSQLDB, support for methods introduced in different versions of JDBC depends on the JDK version used for compiling and building HSQLDB.

Since 1.7.0, it is possible to build the product so that all JDBC 2 methods can be called while executing under the version 1.1.x Java Runtime EnvironmentTM. However, in addition to requiring explicit casts to the org.hsqldb.jdbcXXX interface implementations, some of these method calls require int values that are defined only in the JDBC 2 or greater version of ResultSet interface. For this reason, when the product is compiled under JDK 1.1.x, these values are defined in jdbcResultSet.

In a JRE 1.1.x environment, calling JDBC 2 methods that take or return the JDBC2-only ResultSet values can be achieved by referring to them in parameter specifications and return value comparisons, respectively, as follows:

 jdbcResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD
 jdbcResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
 jdbcResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
 jdbcResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
 // etc.
 
However, please note that code written in such a manner will not be compatible for use with other JDBC 2 drivers, since they expect and use ResultSet, rather than jdbcResultSet. Also note, this feature is offered solely as a convenience to developers who must work under JDK 1.1.x due to operating constraints, yet wish to use some of the more advanced features available under the JDBC 2 specification.

Method Detail

setEscapeProcessing

public void setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable)
                         throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets escape processing on or off.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.0, the implementation follows the standard behaviour by overriding the same method in jdbcStatement class.

In other words, calling this method has no effect.

Specified by:
setEscapeProcessing in interface java.sql.Statement
Overrides:
setEscapeProcessing in class jdbcStatement
Parameters:
enable - true to enable escape processing; false to disable it
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

execute

public boolean execute()
                throws java.sql.SQLException
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 executeQueryand 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).

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Including 1.8.0, prepared statements do not generate multiple fetchable results.

In future versions, it will be possible that statements generate multiple fetchable results under certain conditions.

Specified by:
execute in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Returns:
true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if the first result is an update count or there is no result
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or an argument is supplied to this method
See Also:
jdbcStatement.execute(java.lang.String), jdbcStatement.getResultSet(), jdbcStatement.getUpdateCount(), jdbcStatement.getMoreResults()

executeQuery

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

Specified by:
executeQuery in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Returns:
a ResultSet object that contains the data produced by the query; never null
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the SQL statement does not return a ResultSet object

executeUpdate

public int executeUpdate()
                  throws java.sql.SQLException
Executes the SQL statement in this PreparedStatement object, which must be an SQL INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement; or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as a DDL statement.

Specified by:
executeUpdate in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Returns:
either (1) the row count for INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the SQL statement returns a ResultSet object

executeBatch

public int[] executeBatch()
                   throws java.sql.SQLException
Submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The int elements of the array that is returned are ordered to correspond to the commands in the batch, which are ordered according to the order in which they were added to the batch. The elements in the array returned by the method executeBatch may be one of the following:
  1. A number greater than or equal to zero -- indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution
  2. A value of SUCCESS_NO_INFO -- indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown

    If one of the commands in a batch update fails to execute properly, this method throws a BatchUpdateException, and a JDBC driver may or may not continue to process the remaining commands in the batch. However, the driver's behavior must be consistent with a particular DBMS, either always continuing to process commands or never continuing to process commands. If the driver continues processing after a failure, the array returned by the method BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts will contain as many elements as there are commands in the batch, and at least one of the elements will be the following:

  3. A value of EXECUTE_FAILED -- indicates that the command failed to execute successfully and occurs only if a driver continues to process commands after a command fails

A driver is not required to implement this method. The possible implementations and return values have been modified in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 to accommodate the option of continuing to proccess commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException obejct has been thrown.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

HSQLDB stops execution of commands in a batch when one of the commands results in an exception. The size of the returned array equals the number of commands that were executed successfully.

When the product is built under the JAVA1 target, an exception is never thrown and it is the responsibility of the client software to check the size of the returned update count array to determine if any batch items failed. To build and run under the JAVA2 target, JDK/JRE 1.3 or higher must be used.

Specified by:
executeBatch in interface java.sql.Statement
Overrides:
executeBatch in class jdbcStatement
Returns:
an array of update counts containing one element for each command in the batch. The elements of the array are ordered according to the order in which commands were added to the batch.
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the driver does not support batch statements. Throws BatchUpdateException (a subclass of java.sql.SQLException) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set.
Since:
JDK 1.3 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

setAsciiStream

public void setAsciiStream(int parameterIndex,
                           java.io.InputStream x,
                           int length)
                    throws java.sql.SQLException
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. 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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

This method uses the default platform character encoding to convert bytes from the stream into the characters of a String. In the future this is likely to change to always treat the stream as ASCII.

Before HSQLDB 1.7.0, setAsciiStream and setUnicodeStream were identical.

Specified by:
setAsciiStream in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the Java input stream that contains the ASCII parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setUnicodeStream

public void setUnicodeStream(int parameterIndex,
                             java.io.InputStream x,
                             int length)
                      throws java.sql.SQLException
Deprecated. Sun does not include a reason, but presumably this is because setCharacterStream is now prefered

Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. A Unicode character has two bytes, with the first byte being the high byte, and the second being the low byte. 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.

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

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.0, this method complies with behavior as defined by the JDBC3 specification.

Specified by:
setUnicodeStream in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - a java.io.InputStream object that contains the Unicode parameter value as two-byte Unicode characters
length - the number of bytes in the stream
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setBinaryStream

public void setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,
                            java.io.InputStream x,
                            int length)
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.2, this method works according to the standard.

Specified by:
setBinaryStream in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
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
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

clearParameters

public void clearParameters()
                     throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

Specified by:
clearParameters in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

setObject

public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                      java.lang.Object x,
                      int targetSqlType,
                      int scale)
               throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

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, Struct, 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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Inculding 1.7.1,this method was identical to setObject(int, Object, int). That is, this method simply called setObject(int, Object, int), ignoring the scale specification.

Since 1.7.2, this method supports the conversions listed in the conversion table B-5 of the JDBC 3 specification. The scale argument is not used.

Specified by:
setObject in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
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 point. For all other types, this value will be ignored.

Up to and including HSQLDB 1.7.0, this parameter is ignored.

Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
Types, setObject(int,Object,int)

setObject

public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                      java.lang.Object x,
                      int targetSqlType)
               throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the value of the designated parameter with the given object. This method is like the method setObject above, except that it assumes a scale of zero.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.2, this method supports conversions listed in the conversion table B-5 of the JDBC 3 specification.

Specified by:
setObject in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
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
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
See Also:
setObject(int,Object)

setObject

public void setObject(int parameterIndex,
                      java.lang.Object x)
               throws java.sql.SQLException
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, Struct, or Array, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.

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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.2, this method supports conversions listed in the conversion table B-5 of the JDBC 3 specification.

Specified by:
setObject in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the object containing the input parameter value
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the type of the given object is ambiguous

addBatch

public void addBatch()
              throws java.sql.SQLException
Adds a set of parameters to this PreparedStatement object's batch of commands.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

Specified by:
addBatch in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcPreparedStatement)

setCharacterStream

public void setCharacterStream(int parameterIndex,
                               java.io.Reader reader,
                               int length)
                        throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

HSQLDB stores CHARACTER and related SQL types as Unicode so this method does not perform any conversion.

Specified by:
setCharacterStream in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
reader - the java.io.Reader object that contains the Unicode data
length - the number of characters in the stream
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

            throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given REF(<structured-type>) value. The driver converts this to an SQL REF value when it sends it to the database.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

HSQLDB 1.7.2 does not support the SQL REF type. Calling this method throws an exception.

Specified by:
setRef in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:

                    java.sql.Blob x)
             throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given Blob object. The driver converts this to an SQL BLOB value when it sends it to the database.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Previous to 1.7.2, this feature was not supported.

Since 1.7.2, setBlob is supported. With 1.7.2, setting Blob objects is limited to those of length less than or equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE. In 1.7.2, setBlob(i,x) is roughly equivalent (null and length handling not shown) to:

 setBinaryStream(i, x.getBinaryStream(), (int) x.length());
 

Specified by:
setBlob in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
i - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - a Blob object that maps an SQL BLOB value

                    java.sql.Clob x)
             throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given Clob object. The driver converts this to an SQL CLOB value when it sends it to the database.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Previous to 1.7.2, this feature was not supported.

Since 1.7.2, setClob is supported. With 1.7.2, setting Blob objects is limited to those of length less than or equal to Integer.MAX_VALUE. In 1.7.2, setClob(i,x) is rougly equivalent (null and length handling not shown) to:

 setCharacterStream(i, x.getCharacterStream(), (int) x.length());
 

Specified by:
setClob in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
i - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - a Clob object that maps an SQL CLOB value
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs

getMetaData

public java.sql.ResultSetMetaData getMetaData()
                                       throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

Since 1.7.2, this feature is supported. If the statement generates an update count, then null is returned.

Specified by:
getMetaData in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Returns:
the description of a ResultSet object's columns or null if the driver cannot return a ResultSetMetaData object
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:

             throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given java.sql.Date value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL DATE value,which the driver then sends to the database. With a a Calendar object, the driver can calculate the date taking into account a custom timezone. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone, which is that of the virtual machine running the application.

Specified by:
setDate in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the parameter value
cal - the Calendar object the driver will use to construct the date

             throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given java.sql.Time value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL TIME value, which the driver then sends to the database. With a a Calendar object, the driver can calculate the time taking into account a custom timezone. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone, which is that of the virtual machine running the application.

Specified by:

                  throws java.sql.SQLException
Sets the designated parameter to the given java.sql.Timestamp value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL TIMESTAMP value, which the driver then sends to the database. With a Calendar object, the driver can calculate the timestamp taking into account a custom timezone. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone, which is that of the virtual machine running the application.

Specified by:
setTimestamp in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:

                    java.lang.String typeName)
             throws java.sql.SQLException
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.

HSQLDB-Specific Information:

HSQLDB ignores the sqlType and typeName arguments.

Specified by:
setNull in interface java.sql.PreparedStatement
Parameters:
paramIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
sqlType - a value from java.sql.Types
typeName - the fully-qualified name of an SQL user-defined type; ignored if the parameter is not a user-defined type or REF
Throws:
java.sql.SQLException - if a database access error occurs
Since:
JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcPreparedStatement)
