PreparedStatement batch update

A preparedStatement batch is similar to the Statement batch; however, a preparedStatement batch always works off the same prepared statement, and you only change the parameters to that statement.

The following is an example that uses a preparedStatement batch.

Note: Read the Code example disclaimer for important legal information.

connection.setAutoCommit(false);
PreparedStatement statement = 
  connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO TABLEX VALUES(?, ?)");
statement.setInt(1, 1);
statement.setString(2, "Cujo");
statement.addBatch();
statement.setInt(1, 2);
statement.setString(2, "Fred");
statement.addBatch();
statement.setInt(1, 3);
statement.setString(2, "Mark");
statement.addBatch();
int [] counts = statement.executeBatch();
connection.commit();
