Using Prepared Statements
When performing database operations using JDBC, it's important to use prepared statements for efficient and secure queries.
A prepared statement is a precompiled SQL statement that can be parameterized with placeholder values. It allows us to execute the same SQL statement repeatedly with different parameter values, reducing the overhead of statement compilation and improving performance.
Using prepared statements also helps prevent SQL injection attacks. By parameterizing the statement, the database can distinguish between the SQL code and the user-supplied parameter values, protecting against malicious input.
Here's an example of using a prepared statement in JDBC:
1import java.sql.Connection;
2import java.sql.DriverManager;
3import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
4import java.sql.ResultSet;
5
6public class Main {
7 public static void main(String[] args) {
8 // Replace with your database URL, username, and password
9 String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydatabase";
10 String username = "root";
11 String password = "password";
12
13 try {
14 // Establish a connection to the database
15 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
16
17 // Create a prepared statement
18 String query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ?";
19 PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(query);
20
21 // Set parameter values
22 statement.setInt(1, 18);
23
24 // Execute the query
25 ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
26
27 // Process the result set
28 while (resultSet.next()) {
29 // Process the data
30 }
31
32 // Close the result set
33 resultSet.close();
34
35 // Close the statement
36 statement.close();
37
38 // Close the connection
39 connection.close();
40 } catch (Exception e) {
41 // Handle the exception
42 System.out.println("Error executing query: " + e.getMessage());
43 }
44 }
45}In this example, we define a SQL SELECT statement with a placeholder for the age parameter. We create a prepared statement using the connection's prepareStatement method and set the parameter value using the setInt method.
By using prepared statements, we can separate the SQL code from the parameter values, improving performance and protecting against SQL injection.
Remember to replace the database URL, username, and password with your own values specific to your database setup.
