<h1 class="topictitle1">Blocked insert support</h1>
<div><p>You can use a blocked insert is an iSeries™ operation to insert several rows
into a database table at a time.</p>
<p>A blocked insert is a special type of operation on an iSeries server
that provides a highly optimized way to insert several rows into a database
table at a time. Blocked inserts can be thought of as a subset of batched
updates. Batched updates can be any form of an update request, but blocked
inserts are specific. However, blocked insert types of batched updates are
common; the native JDBC driver has been changed to take advantage of this
feature.</p>
<p>Because of system restrictions when using blocked insert support, the default
setting for the native JDBC driver is to have blocked insert disabled. It
can be enabled through a Connection property or a DataSource property. Most
of the restrictions when using a blocked insert can be checked and handled
on your behalf, but a few restrictions cannot; thus, this is the reason for
turning off blocked insert support by default. The list of restrictions is
as follows:</p>
<ul><li>The SQL statement used must be an INSERT statement with a VALUES clause,
meaning that it is not an INSERT statement with SUBSELECT. The JDBC driver
recognizes this restriction and takes the appropriate course of action.</li>
<li>A PreparedStatement must be used, meaning that there is no optimized support
for Statement objects. The JDBC driver recognizes this restriction and takes
the appropriate course of action.</li>
<li>The SQL statement must specify parameter markers for all the columns in
the table. This means that you cannot either use constant values for a column
or allow the database to insert default values for any of the columns. The
JDBC driver does not have a mechanism to handle testing for specific parameter
markers in your SQL statement. If you set the property to perform optimized
blocked insertions and you do not avoid defaults or constants in your SQL
statements, the values that end up in the database table are not correct.</li>
<li>The connection must be to the local system. This means that a connection
using DRDA<sup>®</sup> to
access a remote system cannot be used because DRDA does not support a blocked insert
operation. The JDBC driver does not have a mechanism to handle testing for
a connection to a local system. If you set the property to perform an optimized
blocked insertion and you attempt to connect to a remote system, the processing
of the batch update fails.</li>
</ul>
<p>This code example shows how to enable support for blocked insert processing.
The only difference between this code and a version that does not use blocked
insert support is <samp class="codeph">use block insert=true</samp> that is added to
the Connection URL.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> Blocked insert processing</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> By using the
code examples, you agree to the terms of the <a href="codedisclaimer.htm">Code license and disclaimer information</a>.</div>
<pre>// Create a database connection
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:*local;use block insert=true");
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("123456");
// Create a PreparedStatement to insert into a table with 4 columns
PreparedStatement ps =
c.prepareStatement("insert into cujosql.xxx values(?, ?, ?, ?)");
// Start timing...
for (int i = 1; i &lt;= 10000; i++) {
ps.setInt(1, i); // Set all the parameters for a row
ps.setBigDecimal(2, bd);
ps.setBigDecimal(3, bd);
ps.setBigDecimal(4, bd);
ps.addBatch(); //Add the parameters to the batch
}
// Process the batch
int[] counts = ps.executeBatch();
// End timing...</pre>
<p>In similar test cases, a blocked insert is several times faster than performing
the same operations when a blocked insert is not used. For example, the test
performed on the previous code was nine time faster using blocked inserts.
Cases that only use primitive types instead of objects can be up to sixteen
times faster. In applications where there is a significant amount of work
going on, change your expectations appropriately.</p>

<div><a href="batchstm.htm" title="To perform a Statement batch update, you must turn off auto-commit. In Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), auto-commit is on by default. Auto-commit means any updates to the database are committed after each SQL statement is processed. If you want to treat a group of statements being handed to the database as one functional group, you do not want the database committing each statement individually. If you do not turn off auto-commit and a statement in the middle of the batch fails, you cannot roll back the entire batch and try it again because half of the statements have been made final. Further, the additional work of committing each statement in a batch creates a lot of overhead.">Statement batch update</a></div>
