Statement

public interface Statement
implements Wrapper, AutoCloseable

java.sql.Statement
Known Indirect Subclasses


The object used for executing a static SQL statement and returning the results it produces.

By default, only one ResultSet object per Statement object can be open at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one ResultSet object is interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated by different Statement objects. All execution methods in the Statement interface implicitly close a statment's current ResultSet object if an open one exists.

Note:This method cannot be called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement.

Parameters
sql String: typically this is a SQL INSERT or UPDATE statement
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement, the driver does not support batch updates, the method is called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement

See also:

cancel

Added in API level 1
void cancel ()

Cancels this Statement object if both the DBMS and driver support aborting an SQL statement. This method can be used by one thread to cancel a statement that is being executed by another thread.

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

clearBatch

Added in API level 1
void clearBatch ()

Empties this Statement object's current list of SQL commands.

Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the driver does not support batch updates

See also:

clearWarnings

Added in API level 1
void clearWarnings ()

Clears all the warnings reported on this Statement object. After a call to this method, the method getWarnings will return null until a new warning is reported for this Statement object.

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

close

Added in API level 1
void close ()

Releases this Statement object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for this to happen when it is automatically closed. It is generally good practice to release resources as soon as you are finished with them to avoid tying up database resources.

Calling the method close on a Statement object that is already closed has no effect.

Note:When a Statement object is closed, its current ResultSet object, if one exists, is also closed.

Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs

execute

Added in API level 1
boolean execute (String sql, 
                int autoGeneratedKeys)

Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that any auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval. The driver will ignore this signal if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific).

In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string.

The execute method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods getResultSet or getUpdateCount to retrieve the result, and getMoreResults to move to any subsequent result(s).

Note:This method cannot be called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement.

Parameters
sql String: any SQL statement
autoGeneratedKeys int: a constant indicating whether auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval using the method getGeneratedKeys; one of the following constants: Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS or Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS

executeBatch

Added in API level 1
int[] executeBatch ()

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

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.

Returns
int[] 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
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the driver does not support batch statements. Throws BatchUpdateException (a subclass of SQLException) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set.

boolean true if this Statement object is closed; false if it is still open
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs

isPoolable

Added in API level 9
boolean isPoolable ()

Returns a value indicating whether the Statement is poolable or not.

Returns
boolean true if the Statement is poolable; false otherwise

Throws
SQLException if this method is called on a closed Statement

setCursorName

Added in API level 1
void setCursorName (String name)

Sets the SQL cursor name to the given String, which will be used by subsequent Statement object execute methods. This name can then be used in SQL positioned update or delete statements to identify the current row in the ResultSet object generated by this statement. If the database does not support positioned update/delete, this method is a noop. To insure that a cursor has the proper isolation level to support updates, the cursor's SELECT statement should have the form SELECT FOR UPDATE. If FOR UPDATE is not present, positioned updates may fail.

Note: By definition, the execution of positioned updates and deletes must be done by a different Statement object than the one that generated the ResultSet object being used for positioning. Also, cursor names must be unique within a connection.

Parameters
name String: the new cursor name, which must be unique within a connection
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException if the JDBC driver does not support this method

setEscapeProcessing

Added in API level 1
void setEscapeProcessing (boolean enable)

Sets escape processing on or off. If escape scanning is on (the default), the driver will do escape substitution before sending the SQL statement to the database. Note: Since prepared statements have usually been parsed prior to making this call, disabling escape processing for PreparedStatements objects will have no effect.

Parameters
enable boolean: true to enable escape processing; false to disable it
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed Statement

setFetchDirection

Added in API level 1
void setFetchDirection (int direction)

Gives the driver a hint as to the direction in which rows will be processed in ResultSet objects created using this Statement object. The default value is ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD.

Note that this method sets the default fetch direction for result sets generated by this Statement object. Each result set has its own methods for getting and setting its own fetch direction.

Parameters
direction int: the initial direction for processing rows
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the given direction is not one of ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD, ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE, or ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN

See also:

setFetchSize

Added in API level 1
void setFetchSize (int rows)

Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for ResultSet objects genrated by this Statement. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored. The default value is zero.

Parameters
rows int: the number of rows to fetch
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition rows >= 0 is not satisfied.

See also:

setMaxFieldSize

Added in API level 1
void setMaxFieldSize (int max)

Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object. This limit applies only to BINARY, VARBINARY, LONGVARBINARY, CHAR, VARCHAR, NCHAR, NVARCHAR, LONGNVARCHAR and LONGVARCHAR fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.

Parameters
max int: the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied

See also:

setMaxRows

Added in API level 1
void setMaxRows (int max)

Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any ResultSet object generated by this Statement object can contain to the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

Parameters
max int: the new max rows limit; zero means there is no limit
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied

See also:

setPoolable

Added in API level 9
void setPoolable (boolean poolable)

Requests that a Statement be pooled or not pooled. The value specified is a hint to the statement pool implementation indicating whether the applicaiton wants the statement to be pooled. It is up to the statement pool manager as to whether the hint is used.

The poolable value of a statement is applicable to both internal statement caches implemented by the driver and external statement caches implemented by application servers and other applications.

By default, a Statement is not poolable when created, and a PreparedStatement and CallableStatement are poolable when created.

Parameters
poolable boolean: requests that the statement be pooled if true and that the statement not be pooled if false

Throws
SQLException if this method is called on a closed Statement

setQueryTimeout

Added in API level 1
void setQueryTimeout (int seconds)

Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute to the given number of seconds. By default there is no limit on the amount of time allowed for a running statement to complete. If the limit is exceeded, an SQLTimeoutException is thrown. A JDBC driver must apply this limit to the execute, executeQuery and executeUpdate methods.

Note: JDBC driver implementations may also apply this limit to ResultSet methods (consult your driver vendor documentation for details).

Note: In the case of Statement batching, it is implementation defined as to whether the time-out is applied to individual SQL commands added via the addBatch method or to the entire batch of SQL commands invoked by the executeBatch method (consult your driver vendor documentation for details).

Parameters
seconds int: the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied
