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

  Parameters:

  sql - an SQL statement to be sent to the database, typically a static SQL SELECT statement

  Returns:

  a ResultSet object that contains the data produced by the given query; never null

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement, the given SQL statement produces anything other than a single ResultSet object, the method is called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement

  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

• executeUpdate

  int executeUpdate(String sql) throws SQLException

  Executes the given SQL statement, which may be an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as an SQL DDL statement.

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

  Parameters:

  sql - 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.

  Returns:

  either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement, the given SQL statement produces a ResultSet object, the method is called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement

  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

• close

  void close() throws SQLException

  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.

  Specified by:

  close in interface AutoCloseable

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs

• getMaxFieldSize

  int getMaxFieldSize() throws SQLException

  Retrieves 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 columns. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded.

  Returns:

  the current column size limit for columns storing character and binary values; zero means there is no limit

  Throws:

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

  See Also:

  • setMaxFieldSize(int)

• setMaxFieldSize

  void setMaxFieldSize(int max) throws SQLException

  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 - 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:

  • getMaxFieldSize()

• getMaxRows

  int getMaxRows() throws SQLException

  Retrieves the maximum number of rows that a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object can contain. If this limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

  Returns:

  the current maximum number of rows for a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object; zero means there is no limit

  Throws:

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

  See Also:

  • setMaxRows(int)

• setMaxRows

  void setMaxRows(int max) throws SQLException

  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 - 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:

  • getMaxRows()

• setEscapeProcessing

  void setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable) throws SQLException

  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.

  The Connection and DataSource property escapeProcessing may be used to change the default escape processing behavior. A value of true (the default) enables escape Processing for all Statement objects. A value of false disables escape processing for all Statement objects. The setEscapeProcessing method may be used to specify the escape processing behavior for an individual Statement object.

  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 - 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

• getQueryTimeout

  int getQueryTimeout() throws SQLException

  Retrieves the number of seconds the driver will wait for a Statement object to execute. If the limit is exceeded, a SQLException is thrown.

  Returns:

  the current query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit

  Throws:

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

  See Also:

  • setQueryTimeout(int)

• setQueryTimeout

  void setQueryTimeout(int seconds) throws SQLException

  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 - 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

  See Also:

  • getQueryTimeout()

• cancel

  void cancel() throws SQLException

  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

• getWarnings

  SQLWarning getWarnings() throws SQLException

  Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this Statement object. Subsequent Statement object warnings will be chained to this SQLWarning object.

  The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a statement is (re)executed. This method may not be called on a closed Statement object; doing so will cause an SQLException to be thrown.

  Note: If you are processing a ResultSet object, any warnings associated with reads on that ResultSet object will be chained on it rather than on the Statement object that produced it.

  Returns:

  the first SQLWarning object or null if there are no warnings

  Throws:

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

• clearWarnings

  void clearWarnings() throws SQLException

  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

• setCursorName

  void setCursorName(String name) throws SQLException

  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 - 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

• execute

  boolean execute(String sql) throws SQLException

  Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results. 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 - any SQL statement

  Returns:

  true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no results

  Throws:

  SQLException - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement, the method is called on a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement

  See Also:

  • addBatch(String)
  • DatabaseMetaData.supportsBatchUpdates()

• executeBatch

  int[] executeBatch() throws SQLException

  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 process commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException object has been thrown.

  Returns:

  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.

  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

• setPoolable

  void setPoolable(boolean poolable) throws SQLException

  Requests that a Statement be pooled or not pooled. The value specified is a hint to the statement pool implementation indicating whether the application 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 - 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

  Since:

  1.6

• isPoolable

  boolean isPoolable() throws SQLException

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

  Returns:

  true if the Statement is poolable; false otherwise

  Throws:

  SQLException - if this method is called on a closed Statement

  Since:

  1.6

  See Also:

  • setPoolable(boolean)

• closeOnCompletion

  void closeOnCompletion() throws SQLException

  Specifies that this Statement will be closed when all its dependent result sets are closed. If execution of the Statement does not produce any result sets, this method has no effect.

  Note: Multiple calls to closeOnCompletion do not toggle the effect on this Statement. However, a call to closeOnCompletion does effect both the subsequent execution of statements, and statements that currently have open, dependent, result sets.

  Throws:

  SQLException - if this method is called on a closed Statement

  Since:

  1.7

• isCloseOnCompletion

  boolean isCloseOnCompletion() throws SQLException

• getLargeUpdateCount

  default long getLargeUpdateCount() throws SQLException

  Retrieves the current result as an update count; if the result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results, -1 is returned. This method should be called only once per result.

  This method should be used when the returned row count may exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE.

  The default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException

  Returns:

  the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a ResultSet object or there are no more results

  Throws:

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

  Since:

  See Also:

  • execute(String)

• setLargeMaxRows

  default void setLargeMaxRows(long max) throws SQLException

  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.

  This method should be used when the row limit may exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE.

  The default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException

  Parameters:

  max - 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

  Since:

  1.8

  See Also:

  • getMaxRows()

• getLargeMaxRows

  default long getLargeMaxRows() throws SQLException

  Retrieves the maximum number of rows that a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object can contain. If this limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

  This method should be used when the returned row limit may exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE.

  The default implementation will return 0

  Returns:

  the current maximum number of rows for a ResultSet object produced by this Statement object; zero means there is no limit

  Throws:

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

  Since:

  1.8

  See Also:

  • setMaxRows(int)

• executeLargeBatch

  default long[] executeLargeBatch() throws SQLException

  Submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The long 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 executeLargeBatch 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.getLargeUpdateCounts 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

  This method should be used when the returned row count may exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE.

  The default implementation will throw UnsupportedOperationException

  Returns:

  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.

  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

  Examples of the conversion:

  Value	Result
  Hello	'Hello'
  G'Day	'G''Day'
  'G''Day'	'''G''''Day'''
  I'''M	'I''''''M'

  Implementation Note:

  JDBC driver implementations may need to provide their own implementation of this method in order to meet the requirements of the underlying datasource.

  Parameters:

  val - a character string

• enquoteIdentifier

  default String enquoteIdentifier(String identifier, boolean alwaysQuote) throws SQLException

  Returns a SQL identifier. If identifier is a simple SQL identifier:

  • Return the original value if alwaysQuote is false
  • Return a delimited identifier if alwaysQuote is true

  If identifier is not a simple SQL identifier, identifier will be enclosed in double quotes if not already present. If the datasource does not support double quotes for delimited identifiers, the identifier should be enclosed by the string returned from DatabaseMetaData.getIdentifierQuoteString(). If the datasource does not support delimited identifiers, a SQLFeatureNotSupportedException should be thrown.

  A SQLException will be thrown if identifier contains any characters invalid in a delimited identifier or the identifier length is invalid for the datasource.

  Implementation Requirements:

  The default implementation uses the following criteria to determine a valid simple SQL identifier:

  • The string is not enclosed in double quotes
  • The first character is an alphabetic character from a through z, or from A through Z
  • The name only contains alphanumeric characters or the character "_"

  The default implementation will throw a SQLException if:

  • identifier contains a null character or double quote and is not a simple SQL identifier.
  • The length of identifier is less than 1 or greater than 128 characters

  Examples of the conversion:

  identifier	alwaysQuote	Result
  Hello	false	Hello
  Hello	true	"Hello"
  G'Day	false	"G'Day"
  "Bruce Wayne"	false	"Bruce Wayne"
  "Bruce Wayne"	true	"Bruce Wayne"
  GoodDay$	false	"GoodDay$"
