Data manipulation: INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE


To perform SQL Data Manipulation Language operations (INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE), you carry out the following sequence of operations:

  1. Prepare the statement.

    You can indicate parameters in the statement using the ? character.

  2. Assign values for parameters in the statement.

    For any INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE, each ? is referred to by its ordinal position in the prepared statement.

  3. Execute the statement.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as required.

To perform INSERT operations using ExecuteStatement:

  1. Declare a PreparedStatement.

    PreparedStatement prepStmt;
  2. Assign a SQL statement to the PreparedStatement object.

    prepStmt = conn.PrepareStatement(
       "INSERT INTO MyTable(MyColumn) values (?)");
  3. Assign input parameter values for the statement.

    The following code shows a string parameter.

    String newValue;
    // assign value
    prepStmt.SetStringParameter(1, newValue);
  4. Execute the statement.

    The return value indicates the number of rows affected by the statement.

    long rowsInserted = prepStmt.ExecuteStatement();
  5. If you have set AutoCommit to off, commit the change.

    conn.Commit();

To perform UPDATE operations using ExecuteStatement:

  1. Declare a PreparedStatement.

    PreparedStatement prepStmt;
  2. Assign a statement to the PreparedStatement object.

    prepStmt = conn.PrepareStatement(
       "UPDATE MyTable SET MyColumn1 = ? WHERE MyColumn2 = ?");
  3. Assign input parameter values for the statement.

    String newValue;
    String oldValue;
    // assign values
    prepStmt.SetStringParameter( 1, newValue );
    prepStmt.SetStringParameter( 2, oldValue );
  4. Execute the statement.

    long rowsUpdated = prepStmt.ExecuteStatement();
  5. If you have set AutoCommit to off, commit the change.

    conn.Commit();

To perform DELETE operations using ExecuteStatement:

  1. Declare a PreparedStatement.

    PreparedStatement prepStmt;
  2. Assign a statement to the PreparedStatement object.

    prepStmt = conn.PrepareStatement(
       "DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = ?");
  3. Assign input parameter values for the statement.

    String deleteValue;
    prepStmt.SetStringParameter(1, deleteValue);
  4. Execute the statement.

    long rowsDeleted = prepStmt.ExecuteStatement();
  5. If you have set AutoCommit to off, commit the change.

    conn.Commit();
