| Known indirect subclasses [CallableStatement](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/CallableStatement) |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | [CallableStatement](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/CallableStatement) | The interface used to execute SQL stored procedures. | |
*** ** * ** ***
An object that represents a precompiled SQL statement.
A SQL statement is precompiled and stored in a`PreparedStatement`object. This object can then be used to efficiently execute this statement multiple times.
**Note:** The setter methods (`setShort`,`setString`, and so on) for setting IN parameter values must specify types that are compatible with the defined SQL type of the input parameter. For instance, if the IN parameter has SQL type`INTEGER`, then the method`setInt`should be used.
If arbitrary parameter type conversions are required, the method`setObject`should be used with a target SQL type.
In the following example of setting a parameter,`con`represents an active connection:
```
PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE EMPLOYEES
SET SALARY = ? WHERE ID = ?");
pstmt.setBigDecimal(1, 153833.00)
pstmt.setInt(2, 110592)
```

## Public methods
### addBatch
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void addBatch ()
```
Adds a set of parameters to this`PreparedStatement`object's batch of commands.
| Throws ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement` |
**See also:**

### clearParameters
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void clearParameters ()
```
Clears the current parameter values immediately.
In general, parameter values remain in force for repeated use of a statement. Setting a parameter value automatically clears its previous value. However, in some cases it is useful to immediately release the resources used by the current parameter values; this can be done by calling the method`clearParameters`.
| Throws ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement` |
### execute
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract boolean execute ()
```
Executes the SQL statement in this`PreparedStatement`object, which may be any kind of SQL statement. Some prepared statements return multiple results; the`execute`method handles these complex statements as well as the simpler form of statements handled by the methods`executeQuery`and`executeUpdate`.
The`execute`method returns a`boolean`to indicate the form of the first result. You must call either the method`getResultSet`or`getUpdateCount`to retrieve the result; you must call`getMoreResults`to move to any subsequent result(s).
| Returns ||
|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `boolean` | `true`if the first result is a`ResultSet`object;`false`if the first result is an update count or there is no result
|
| Throws ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement`or an argument is supplied to this method |
| [SQLTimeoutException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/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` |

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract ResultSet executeQuery ()
```
Executes the SQL query in this`PreparedStatement`object and returns the`ResultSet`object generated by the query.
| Returns ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [ResultSet](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/ResultSet) | a`ResultSet`object that contains the data produced by the query; never`null`
|
| Throws ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement`or the SQL statement does not return a`ResultSet`object |
| [SQLTimeoutException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/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
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract int executeUpdate ()
```
Executes the SQL statement in this`PreparedStatement`object, which must be 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 ||
|-------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
|
| Throws ||

### getMetaData
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract ResultSetMetaData getMetaData ()
```
Retrieves a`ResultSetMetaData`object that contains information about the columns of the`ResultSet`object that will be returned when this`PreparedStatement`object is executed.
Because a`PreparedStatement`object is precompiled, it is possible to know about the`ResultSet`object that it will return without having to execute it. Consequently, it is possible to invoke the method`getMetaData`on a`PreparedStatement`object rather than waiting to execute it and then invoking the`ResultSet.getMetaData`method on the`ResultSet`object that is returned.
**NOTE:**Using this method may be expensive for some drivers due to the lack of underlying DBMS support.
| Returns ||
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [ResultSetMetaData](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/ResultSetMetaData) | the description of a`ResultSet`object's columns or`null`if the driver cannot return a`ResultSetMetaData`object
|
| Throws ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

```
public abstract void setAsciiStream (int parameterIndex,
InputStream x,
long length)
```
Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. When a very large ASCII value is input to a`LONGVARCHAR`parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a`java.io.InputStream`.

### setCharacterStream
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setCharacterStream (int parameterIndex,
Reader reader,
int length)
```
Sets the designated parameter to the given`Reader`object, which is the given number of characters long. When a very large UNICODE value is input to a`LONGVARCHAR`parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a`java.io.Reader`object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from UNICODE to the database char format.
**Note:**This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.
| Parameters ||
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `parameterIndex` | `int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
|
| `reader` | `Reader`: the`java.io.Reader`object that contains the Unicode data
|
| `length` | `int`: the number of characters in the stream
|
| Throws ||
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement` |
### setCharacterStream
Added in[API level 9](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setCharacterStream (int parameterIndex,
Reader reader)
```
Sets the designated parameter to the given`Reader`object. When a very large UNICODE value is input to a`LONGVARCHAR`parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a`java.io.Reader`object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from UNICODE to the database char format.
**Note:**This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.
**Note:** Consult your JDBC driver documentation to determine if it might be more efficient to use a version of`setCharacterStream`which takes a length parameter.
| Parameters ||
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `parameterIndex` | `int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
|
| `reader` | `Reader`: the`java.io.Reader`object that contains the Unicode data

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setNull (int parameterIndex,
int sqlType,
String typeName)
```
Sets the designated parameter to SQL`NULL`. This version of the method`setNull`should be used for user-defined types and REF type parameters. Examples of user-defined types include: STRUCT, DISTINCT, JAVA_OBJECT, and named array types.
**Note:**To be portable, applications must give the SQL type code and the fully-qualified SQL type name when specifying a NULL user-defined or REF parameter. In the case of a user-defined type the name is the type name of the parameter itself. For a REF parameter, the name is the type name of the referenced type. If a JDBC driver does not need the type code or type name information, it may ignore it. Although it is intended for user-defined and Ref parameters, this method may be used to set a null parameter of any JDBC type. If the parameter does not have a user-defined or REF type, the given typeName is ignored.
| Parameters ||
|------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `parameterIndex` | `int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
|
| `sqlType` | `int`: a value from`java.sql.Types`

### setObject
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setObject (int parameterIndex,
Object x,
int targetSqlType,
int scaleOrLength)
```
Sets the value of the designated parameter with the given object. The second argument must be an object type; for integral values, the`java.lang`equivalent objects should be used. If the second argument is an`InputStream`then the stream must contain the number of bytes specified by scaleOrLength. If the second argument is a`Reader`then the reader must contain the number of characters specified by scaleOrLength. If these conditions are not true the driver will generate a`SQLException`when the prepared statement is executed.
The given Java object will be converted to the given targetSqlType before being sent to the database. If the object has a custom mapping (is of a class implementing the interface`SQLData`), the JDBC driver should call the method`SQLData.writeSQL`to write it to the SQL data stream. If, on the other hand, the object is of a class implementing`Ref`,`Blob`,`Clob`,`NClob`,`Struct`,`java.net.URL`, or`Array`, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.
Note that this method may be used to pass database-specific abstract data types.
| Parameters ||
|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `parameterIndex` | `int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
|
| `x` | `Object`: the object containing the input parameter value
|
| `targetSqlType` | `int`: the SQL type (as defined in java.sql.Types) to be sent to the database. The scale argument may further qualify this type.
|
| `scaleOrLength` | `int`: for`java.sql.Types.DECIMAL`or`java.sql.Types.NUMERIC types`, this is the number of digits after the decimal point. For Java Object types`InputStream`and`Reader`, this is the length of the data in the stream or reader. For all other types, this value will be ignored.
|
| Throws ||
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [SQLException](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/sql/SQLException) | if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs; this method is called on a closed`PreparedStatement`or if the Java Object specified by x is an InputStream or Reader object and the value of the scale parameter is less than zero |

### setObject
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setObject (int parameterIndex,
Object x)
```
Sets the value of the designated parameter using the given object. The second parameter must be of type`Object`; therefore, the`java.lang`equivalent objects should be used for built-in types.
The JDBC specification specifies a standard mapping from Java`Object`types to SQL types. The given argument will be converted to the corresponding SQL type before being sent to the database.
Note that this method may be used to pass datatabase- specific abstract data types, by using a driver-specific Java type. If the object is of a class implementing the interface`SQLData`, the JDBC driver should call the method`SQLData.writeSQL`to write it to the SQL data stream. If, on the other hand, the object is of a class implementing`Ref`,`Blob`,`Clob`,`NClob`,`Struct`,`java.net.URL`,`RowId`,`SQLXML`or`Array`, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.
**Note:** Not all databases allow for a non-typed Null to be sent to the backend. For maximum portability, the`setNull`or the`setObject(int parameterIndex, Object x, int sqlType)`method should be used instead of`setObject(int parameterIndex, Object x)`.
**Note:**This method throws an exception if there is an ambiguity, for example, if the object is of a class implementing more than one of the interfaces named above.

### setUnicodeStream
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in[API level 15](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public abstract void setUnicodeStream (int parameterIndex,
InputStream x,
int length)
```
**This method was deprecated in API level 15.**
Use setCharacterStream
Sets the designated parameter to the given input stream, which will have the specified number of bytes. When a very large Unicode value is input to a`LONGVARCHAR`parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a`java.io.InputStream`object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from Unicode to the database char format. The byte format of the Unicode stream must be a Java UTF-8, as defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification.
**Note:**This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.

|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `parameterIndex` | `int`: the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
|
| `x` | `InputStream`: a`java.io.InputStream`object that contains the Unicode parameter value
|
| `length` | `int`: the number of bytes in the stream
