public abstract interface PreparedStatement extends Statement
An object that represents a precompiled SQL statement.
A SQL statement is pre-compiled and stored in a PreparedStatement object. This object can then be used to efficiently execute this statement multiple times.
Note: The setXXX methods 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.
Example of setting a parameter; con is an active connection
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET SALARY = ? WHERE ID = ?");
pstmt.setBigDecimal(1, 153833.00)
pstmt.setInt(2, 110592)

JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file. 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.
Parameters:

x - the Java input stream that contains the ASCII parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setUnicodeStream
public void setUnicodeStream(int parameterIndex,InputStream x,int length)throws SQLException
Deprecated.
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. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from UNICODE to the database char format. The byte format of the Unicode stream must be 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 - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the java input stream which contains the UNICODE parameter value
length - the number of bytes in the stream
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setBinaryStream
public void setBinaryStream(int parameterIndex,InputStream x,int length) throws 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. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file.
Note: This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.
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:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
clearParameters
public void clearParameters() throws 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 clearParameters.
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setObject
public void setObject(int parameterIndex,Object x,int targetSqlType,int scale)
throws SQLException
Sets the value of a parameter using an 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 targetSqlType before being sent to the database. If the object has a custom mapping (is of a class implementing SQLData), the JDBC driver should call its method 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 datatabase- specific abstract data types.
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.
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs

Types
setObject
public void setObject(int parameterIndex,Object x,int targetSqlType) throws SQLException
Sets the value of the designated parameter with the given object. This method is like setObject above, except that it assumes a scale of zero.
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:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setObject
public void setObject(int parameterIndex,Object x) throws SQLException
Sets the value of a parameter using an object; use the java.lang equivalent objects for integral values.
The JDBC specification specifies a standard mapping from Java Object types to SQL types. The given argument java object 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 SQLData, the JDBC driver should call its method 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, then 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 those interfaces.
Parameters:
parameterIndex - the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
x - the object containing the input parameter value
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
execute
public boolean execute() throws SQLException

setCharacterStream
public void setCharacterStream(int parameterIndex,Reader reader,int length) throws SQLException
JDBC 2.0 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. JDBC will read the data from the stream as needed, until it reaches end-of-file. 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.

Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setDate
public void setDate(int parameterIndex,Date x,Calendar cal) throws SQLException
JDBC 2.0 Sets the designated parameter to a java.sql.Date value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL DATE, 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 and locale. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone and locale.
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:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setTime
public void setTime(int parameterIndex,Time x,Calendar cal) throws SQLException
JDBC 2.0 Sets the designated parameter to a java.sql.Time value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL TIME, 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 and locale. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone and locale.
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 time
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setTimestamp
public void setTimestamp(int parameterIndex,Timestamp x,Calendar cal) throws SQLException
JDBC 2.0 Sets the designated parameter to a java.sql.Timestamp value, using the given Calendar object. The driver uses the Calendar object to construct an SQL TIMESTAMP, which the driver then sends to the database. With a a Calendar object, the driver can calculate the timestamp taking into account a custom timezone and locale. If no Calendar object is specified, the driver uses the default timezone and locale.
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 timestamp
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
setNull
public void setNull(int paramIndex,int sqlType,String typeName) throws SQLException
JDBC 2.0 Sets the designated parameter to SQL NULL. This version of setNull should be used for user-named types and REF type parameters. Examples of user-named 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-named 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-named 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-named or REF type, the given typeName is ignored.
Parameters:
parameterIndex - 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-named type, ignored if the parameter is not a user-named type or REF
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs
