PreparedStatement

interface PreparedStatement : Statement
java.sql.PreparedStatement

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)

Inherited functions

Public methods

addBatch

Added in API level 1
abstract fun addBatch(): Unit

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

Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement

clearParameters

Added in API level 1
abstract fun clearParameters(): Unit

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.

Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement

execute

Added in API level 1
abstract fun execute(): Boolean

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).

Return
Boolean true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if the first result is an update count or there is no result
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or an argument is supplied to this method

executeQuery

Added in API level 1
abstract fun executeQuery(): ResultSet!

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

Return
ResultSet! a ResultSet object that contains the data produced by the query; never null
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.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

executeUpdate

Added in API level 1
abstract fun executeUpdate(): Int

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.

Return
Int either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement or the SQL statement returns a ResultSet object

getMetaData

Added in API level 1
abstract fun getMetaData(): ResultSetMetaData!

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.

Return
ResultSetMetaData! the description of a ResultSet object's columns or null if the driver cannot return a ResultSetMetaData object
Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
java.sql.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method

getParameterMetaData

Added in API level 1
abstract fun getParameterMetaData(): ParameterMetaData!

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

Return
ParameterMetaData! a ParameterMetaData object that contains information about the number, types and properties for each parameter marker of this PreparedStatement object
Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement

setArray

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setArray(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    x: Array!
): Unit

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

setAsciiStream

Added in API level 9
abstract fun setAsciiStream(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    x: InputStream!
): Unit

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.

    cal: Calendar!
): Unit

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.

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 Date!: the parameter value
cal Calendar!: the Calendar object the driver will use to construct the date
Exceptions
java.sql.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

setNCharacterStream

Added in API level 9
abstract fun setNCharacterStream(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    value: Reader!
): Unit

Sets the designated parameter to a Reader object. The Reader reads the data till end-of-file is reached. The driver does the necessary conversion from Java character format to the national character set in the database.

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 setNCharacterStream which takes a length parameter.

Parameters
parameterIndex Int: of the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
value Reader!: the parameter value
Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if the driver does not support national character sets; if the driver can detect that a data conversion error could occur; if a database access error occurs; or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement

abstract fun setNClob(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    reader: Reader!
): Unit

Sets the designated parameter to a Reader object. This method differs from the setCharacterStream (int, Reader) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a NCLOB. When the setCharacterStream 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 LONGNVARCHAR or a NCLOB

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

Parameters

    parameterIndex: Int,
    reader: Reader!,
    length: Long
): Unit

Sets the designated parameter to a Reader object. The reader 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 setCharacterStream (int, Reader, int) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a NCLOB. When the setCharacterStream 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 LONGNVARCHAR or a NCLOB

Parameters
parameterIndex Int: index of the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
reader Reader!: An object that contains the data to set the parameter value to.
length Long: the number of characters in the parameter data.

Parameters
parameterIndex Int: of the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
value String!: the parameter value
Exceptions
java.sql.SQLException if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if the driver does not support national character sets; if the driver can detect that a data conversion error could occur; if a database access error occurs; or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
java.sql.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method

setNull

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setNull(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    sqlType: Int
): Unit

Sets the designated parameter to SQL NULL.

Note: You must specify the parameter's SQL type.

Parameters
parameterIndex Int: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
sqlType Int: the SQL type code defined in java.sql.Types
Exceptions
java.sql.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
abstract fun setNull(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    sqlType: Int,
    typeName: String!
): Unit

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
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if sqlType 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 or if the JDBC driver does not support this method

setObject

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setObject(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    x: Any!
): Unit

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 Any!: the object containing the input parameter value
Exceptions
java.sql.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

setObject

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setObject(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    x: Any!,
    targetSqlType: Int
): Unit

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.

Parameters
parameterIndex Int: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x Any!: the object containing the input parameter value
targetSqlType Int: the SQL type (as defined in java.sql.Types) to be sent to the database
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.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

setObject

Added in API level 1
abstract fun setObject(
    parameterIndex: Int,
    x: Any!,
    targetSqlType: Int,
    scaleOrLength: Int
): Unit

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 Any!: 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.
Exceptions
java.sql.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
java.sql.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
