JDBC - Simple Statement

The Statement interface lets you execute a simple SQL statement with no parameters. The SQL instructions are inserted into the Statement object when the Statement.executeXXX method is called.

Query Statement: This code segment creates a Statement object and calls the Statement.executeQuery method to select text from the dba database. The results of the query are returned in a ResultSet object. How to retrieve results from a ResultSet object is explained in Result Sets below.

Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
 ResultSet results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT TEXT FROM dba ");

Update Statement: This code segment creates a Statement object and calls the Statement.executeUpdate method to add an email address to a table in the dba database.

  String updateString =  "INSERT INTO dba VALUES (some text)";
  int count = stmt.executeUpdate(updateString);
