Creates a prepared statement object for sending parameterized SQL statements to a database.

PreparedStatement

SQLException

Yes

prepareStatement(String sql, int autoGeneratedKeys)

Yes

prepareStatement(String sql, int[] columnIndexes)

Creates a default prepared statement object that can return an automatically generated key specified by a given array. This array contains the indexes of the columns in the target table that contain the automatically generated keys, which should be available.

void

SQLException

Yes

setAutoCommit(boolean autoCommit)

Sets the autocommit mode of this connection to the given state. If a connection is in autocommit mode, all its SQL statements are executed and committed as a single transaction. Otherwise, its SQL statements are grouped into transactions that are terminated by calls to method commits or method rollbacks. By default, new connections are in autocommit mode.

void

SQLException

Yes

setClientInfo(Properties properties)

Sets the client information property value of the connection. The properties object contains the names and values of the client information properties to be set.

void

SQLException

Yes

setNetworkTimeout(Executor executor, int milliseconds)

Sets the maximum time that a connection or an object created from a connection waits for the database to reply to any request. If any request is still not answered, the waiting method returns SQLException, and the connection or object created from the connection is marked as closed. Any subsequent use of the object other than the Close, isCabled, or Connection.isValid method will result in SQLException.
