JDBC for Oracle - Herong's Tutorial Examples

∟Oracle - PreparedStatement

∟PreparedStatement with Parameters

This section describes how to create PreparedStatement objects with Parameters.

To make a PreparedStatement object more flexible, you add parameters to the embedded SQL statement with question marks (?). Real values should be added before executing the PreparedStatement object.

Adding values to PreparedStatement parameters should be done by calling setXXX() methods in this format: 

ps.setXXX(1, value);
ps.setXXX(2, value);
...
ps.setXXX(n, value);
  // Sets value to the n-th parameter.

JDBC supports many setXXX() methods, one for each Java data type, so that you can set parameter values directly with the desired Java data types without any conversion. Here is a list of setXXX() methods:

Here is a sample program that created a PreparedStatement object with one parameter: 

/* OraclePreparedStatementParameter.java
 * Copyright (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.
 */
import java.sql.*;
public class OraclePreparedStatementParameter {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource ds
        = new oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource();
      ds.setDriverType("thin");
      ds.setServerName("localhost");
      ds.setPortNumber(1521);
      ds.setDatabaseName("XE");
      ds.setUser("Herong");
      ds.setPassword("TopSecret");
      con = ds.getConnection();

// PreparedStatement for SELECT statement with one parameter
      PreparedStatement sta = con.prepareStatement(
  "SELECT * FROM Profile WHERE ID = ?");

// Provide a value to the parameter
      int id = 19;
      sta.setInt(1,id);

// Execute the PreparedStatement as a query
      ResultSet res = sta.executeQuery();

// Get values out of the ResultSet
      res.next();
      String firstName = res.getString("FirstName");
      String lastName = res.getString("LastName");
      System.out.println("User ID "+id+": "+firstName+' '+lastName);

// Close ResultSet and PreparedStatement
      res.close();
      sta.close();

      con.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Output of the program confirms that the PreparedStatement object worked correctly:
