I'm not so worried about the performance. But if I have a column of type
SERIAL in my table, then I can retrieve the generated value using:
statement.executeUpdate(sqlString, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ResultSet resultSet = statement.getGeneratedKeys();
Integer result;
if (resultSet.next()) {
result = resultSet.getInt(1);
} else {
result = null;
}
resultSet.close();
whereas it is not clear to me how this works with a prepared statement.
Strangely, PreparedStatement extends Statement, so PreparedStatement still
has the executeUpdate(String,int) method - but it is not clear to me whether
this method will throw the previously prepared statement away or what.
Is there any easy way to retrieve the generated value for the SERIAL column
when using a prepared statement?
