Thread: Is this usage correct ?

Is this usage correct ?

From
Guillaume Rousse
Date:
Is it correct to use a preparedStatement with no variable element, as this:
PreparedStatement stmp=conn.prepareStatement("delete from table where
oid="+oid);
stmt.excuteUpdate();

Or is it mandatory to use :
PreparedStatement stmp=conn.prepareStatement("delete from table where
oid=?");
stmt.setInt(1,oid);
stmt.excuteUpdate();

In theory it would be ok, but as PreparedStatement extends Statement,
why cause the extra overhead and just use Statement?

Just as i use PreparedStatement elsewhere in the code, i'd like to use the same
pattern.

Most RDBMS support two modes of queries. Statements and prepared
statements.

Statements are SQL strings that are parsed and processed in one go.
Prepared statements are pre-prepared and can be reused any number of
times. Since parameters tend to change across method invocation, they
support bound parameters (the '?' thingy).

In terms of performance statements are slightly faster if used only once
(Oracle 7) and prepared statements are way faster if used twice or more
times (Oracle 7 again). The RDMBS will construct a query plan during
preperation and only once for a given statement, thus saving a
non-marginal cost (especially if the query is rather complex). In fact,
in some instances where the results of a query are less than 100 records
(w/o long binary/char fields), using prepared statement can achive an
80% performance improvement.

This is one of the reasons why I said Statement is better. The other
reason, is because postgresql doesn't yet support them, we currently do
the substitution in the driver, which is a large overhead compared with
Statement.
