Statement (Java Platform SE 7 )

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Wrapper

All Known Subinterfaces:

CallableStatement, PreparedStatement
```
public interface Statement
extends Wrapper, AutoCloseable
```
The object used for executing a static SQL statement and returning the results it produces.
By default, only one ResultSet object per Statement object can be open at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one ResultSet object is interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated by different Statement objects. All execution methods in the Statement interface implicitly close a statment's current ResultSet object if an open one exists.

  - executeQuery
```
ResultSet executeQuery(String sql)
                       throws SQLException
```
    Executes the given SQL statement, which returns a single ResultSet object.
    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

    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. 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
    
    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

```
boolean getMoreResults()
                       throws SQLException
```
    Moves to this Statement object's next result, returns true if it is a ResultSet object, and implicitly closes any current ResultSet object(s) obtained with the method getResultSet.
    There are no more results when the following is true:
```
     // stmt is a Statement object
     ((stmt.getMoreResults() == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1))
 
```
    Returns:
    true if the next result is a ResultSet object; false if it is an update count or there are no more results

  - setFetchDirection
```
void setFetchDirection(int direction)
                       throws SQLException
```
    Gives the driver a hint as to the direction in which rows will be processed in ResultSet objects created using this Statement object. The default value is ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD.
    Note that this method sets the default fetch direction for result sets generated by this Statement object. Each result set has its own methods for getting and setting its own fetch direction.
    
    Parameters:
    direction - the initial direction for processing rows
    
    Throws:
    
    SQLException - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed Statement or the given direction is not one of ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD, ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE, or ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN

  - 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 proccess commands in a batch update after a BatchUpdateException obejct 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

```
int executeUpdate(String sql,
                String[] columnNames)
                  throws SQLException
```
    Executes the given SQL statement and signals the driver that the auto-generated keys indicated in the given array should be made available for retrieval. This array contains the names of the columns in the target table that contain the auto-generated keys that should be made available. The driver will ignore the array if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific).
    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.
    columnNames - an array of the names of the columns that should be returned from the inserted row

  - execute
```
boolean execute(String sql,
              int autoGeneratedKeys)
                throws SQLException
```
    Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that any auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval. The driver will ignore this signal if the SQL statement is not an INSERT statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific).
    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
    autoGeneratedKeys - a constant indicating whether auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval using the method getGeneratedKeys; one of the following constants: Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS or Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS

  - 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 applicaiton 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:

    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
