## Interface Statement

- All Superinterfaces:
    Wrapper
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    CallableStatement, PreparedStatement

      public interface Statement
      extends Wrapper

  The object used for executing a static SQL statement and returning the results it produces.

  By default, only one `ResultSet` object per `Statement` object can be open at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one `ResultSet` object is interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated by different `Statement` objects. All execution methods in the `Statement` interface implicitly close a statment's current `ResultSet` object if an open one exists.

  See Also:
    `Connection.createStatement()`, `ResultSet`

    - #### executeQuery

          ResultSet executeQuery(String sql)
                                 throws SQLException

      Executes the given SQL statement, which returns a single `ResultSet` object.
      Parameters:
        `sql` - an SQL statement to be sent to the database, typically a static SQL `SELECT` statement
      Returns:
        a `ResultSet` object that contains the data produced by the given query; never `null`
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the given SQL statement produces anything other than a single `ResultSet` object

    - #### executeUpdate

          int executeUpdate(String sql)
                            throws SQLException

      Executes the given SQL statement, which may be an `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` statement or an SQL statement that returns nothing, such as an SQL DDL statement.
      Parameters:
        `sql` - 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:
        either (1) the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or (2) 0 for SQL statements that return nothing
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the given SQL statement produces a `ResultSet` object

    - #### close

          void close()
                     throws SQLException

      Releases this `Statement` object's database and JDBC resources immediately instead of waiting for this to happen when it is automatically closed. It is generally good practice to release resources as soon as you are finished with them to avoid tying up database resources.

      Calling the method `close` on a `Statement` object that is already closed has no effect.

      Note:When a `Statement` object is closed, its current `ResultSet` object, if one exists, is also closed.

      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

    - #### getMaxFieldSize

          int getMaxFieldSize()
                              throws SQLException

      Retrieves the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a `ResultSet` object produced by this `Statement` object. This limit applies only to `BINARY`, `VARBINARY`, `LONGVARBINARY`, `CHAR`, `VARCHAR`, `NCHAR`, `NVARCHAR`, `LONGNVARCHAR` and `LONGVARCHAR` columns. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded.
      Returns:
        the current column size limit for columns storing character and binary values; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `setMaxFieldSize(int)`

    - #### setMaxFieldSize

          void setMaxFieldSize(int max)
                               throws SQLException

      Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes that can be returned for character and binary column values in a `ResultSet` object produced by this `Statement` object. This limit applies only to `BINARY`, `VARBINARY`, `LONGVARBINARY`, `CHAR`, `VARCHAR`, `NCHAR`, `NVARCHAR`, `LONGNVARCHAR` and `LONGVARCHAR` fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.
      Parameters:
        `max` - the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
      See Also:
        `getMaxFieldSize()`

    - #### getMaxRows

          int getMaxRows()
                         throws SQLException

      Retrieves the maximum number of rows that a `ResultSet` object produced by this `Statement` object can contain. If this limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.
      Returns:
        the current maximum number of rows for a `ResultSet` object produced by this `Statement` object; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `setMaxRows(int)`

    - #### setMaxRows

          void setMaxRows(int max)
                          throws SQLException

      Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any `ResultSet` object generated by this `Statement` object can contain to the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.
      Parameters:
        `max` - the new max rows limit; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
      See Also:
        `getMaxRows()`

    - #### setEscapeProcessing

          void setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable)
                                   throws SQLException

      Sets escape processing on or off. If escape scanning is on (the default), the driver will do escape substitution before sending the SQL statement to the database. Note: Since prepared statements have usually been parsed prior to making this call, disabling escape processing for `PreparedStatements` objects will have no effect.
      Parameters:
        `enable` - `true` to enable escape processing; `false` to disable it
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`

    - #### getQueryTimeout

          int getQueryTimeout()
                              throws SQLException

      Retrieves the number of seconds the driver will wait for a `Statement` object to execute. If the limit is exceeded, a `SQLException` is thrown.
      Returns:
        the current query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `setQueryTimeout(int)`

    - #### setQueryTimeout

          void setQueryTimeout(int seconds)
                               throws SQLException

      Sets the number of seconds the driver will wait for a `Statement` object to execute to the given number of seconds. If the limit is exceeded, an `SQLException` is thrown. A JDBC driver must apply this limit to the `execute`, `executeQuery` and `executeUpdate` methods. JDBC driver implementations may also apply this limit to `ResultSet` methods (consult your driver vendor documentation for details).
      Parameters:
        `seconds` - the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied
      See Also:
        `getQueryTimeout()`

    - #### cancel

          void cancel()
                      throws SQLException

      Cancels this `Statement` object if both the DBMS and driver support aborting an SQL statement. This method can be used by one thread to cancel a statement that is being executed by another thread.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
        `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException` - if the JDBC driver does not support this method

    - #### getWarnings

          SQLWarning getWarnings()
                                 throws SQLException

      Retrieves the first warning reported by calls on this `Statement` object. Subsequent `Statement` object warnings will be chained to this `SQLWarning` object.

      The warning chain is automatically cleared each time a statement is (re)executed. This method may not be called on a closed `Statement` object; doing so will cause an `SQLException` to be thrown.

      Note: If you are processing a `ResultSet` object, any warnings associated with reads on that `ResultSet` object will be chained on it rather than on the `Statement` object that produced it.

      Returns:
        the first `SQLWarning` object or `null` if there are no warnings
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`

    - #### clearWarnings

          void clearWarnings()
                             throws SQLException

      Clears all the warnings reported on this `Statement` object. After a call to this method, the method `getWarnings` will return `null` until a new warning is reported for this `Statement` object.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`

    - #### setCursorName

          void setCursorName(String name)
                             throws SQLException

      Sets the SQL cursor name to the given `String`, which will be used by subsequent `Statement` object `execute` methods. This name can then be used in SQL positioned update or delete statements to identify the current row in the `ResultSet` object generated by this statement. If the database does not support positioned update/delete, this method is a noop. To insure that a cursor has the proper isolation level to support updates, the cursor's `SELECT` statement should have the form `SELECT FOR UPDATE`. If `FOR UPDATE` is not present, positioned updates may fail.

      Note: By definition, the execution of positioned updates and deletes must be done by a different `Statement` object than the one that generated the `ResultSet` object being used for positioning. Also, cursor names must be unique within a connection.

      Parameters:
        `name` - the new cursor name, which must be unique within a connection
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
        `SQLFeatureNotSupportedException` - if the JDBC driver does not support this method

    - #### execute

          boolean execute(String sql)
                          throws SQLException

      Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results. In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string.

      The `execute` method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods `getResultSet` or `getUpdateCount` to retrieve the result, and `getMoreResults` to move to any subsequent result(s).

      Parameters:
        `sql` - any SQL statement
      Returns:
        `true` if the first result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if it is an update count or there are no results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`

      Returns:
        the current result as a `ResultSet` object or `null` if the result is an update count or there are no more results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `execute(java.lang.String)`

    - #### getUpdateCount

          int getUpdateCount()
                             throws SQLException

      Retrieves the current result as an update count; if the result is a `ResultSet` object or there are no more results, -1 is returned. This method should be called only once per result.
      Returns:
        the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a `ResultSet` object or there are no more results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `execute(java.lang.String)`

    - #### getMoreResults

          boolean getMoreResults()
                                 throws SQLException

      Moves to this `Statement` object's next result, returns `true` if it is a `ResultSet` object, and implicitly closes any current `ResultSet` object(s) obtained with the method `getResultSet`.

      There are no more results when the following is true:

               // stmt is a Statement object
               ((stmt.getMoreResults() == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1))

      Returns:
        `true` if the next result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if it is an update count or there are no more results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      See Also:
        `execute(java.lang.String)`

    - #### setFetchDirection

          void setFetchDirection(int direction)
                                 throws SQLException

      Gives the driver a hint as to the direction in which rows will be processed in `ResultSet` objects created using this `Statement` object. The default value is `ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD`.

      Note that this method sets the default fetch direction for result sets generated by this `Statement` object. Each result set has its own methods for getting and setting its own fetch direction.

      Parameters:
        `direction` - the initial direction for processing rows
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the given direction is not one of `ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD`, `ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE`, or `ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN`
      Since:
        1.2
      See Also:
        `getFetchDirection()`

    - #### getFetchDirection

          int getFetchDirection()
                                throws SQLException

      Retrieves the direction for fetching rows from database tables that is the default for result sets generated from this `Statement` object. If this `Statement` object has not set a fetch direction by calling the method `setFetchDirection`, the return value is implementation-specific.
      Returns:
        the default fetch direction for result sets generated from this `Statement` object
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`
      Since:
        1.2
      See Also:
        `setFetchDirection(int)`

    - #### setFetchSize

          void setFetchSize(int rows)
                            throws SQLException

      Gives the JDBC driver a hint as to the number of rows that should be fetched from the database when more rows are needed for `ResultSet` objects genrated by this `Statement`. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored. The default value is zero.
      Parameters:
        `rows` - the number of rows to fetch
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the condition `rows >= 0` is not satisfied.
      Since:
        1.2
      See Also:
        `getFetchSize()`

    - #### addBatch

          void addBatch(String sql)
                        throws SQLException

      Adds the given SQL command to the current list of commmands for this `Statement` object. The commands in this list can be executed as a batch by calling the method `executeBatch`.

      Parameters:
        `sql` - typically this is a SQL `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statement
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the driver does not support batch updates
      Since:
        1.2

    - #### clearBatch

          void clearBatch()
                          throws SQLException

      Empties this `Statement` object's current list of SQL commands.

      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the driver does not support batch updates

    - #### executeBatch

          int[] executeBatch()
                             throws SQLException

      Submits a batch of commands to the database for execution and if all commands execute successfully, returns an array of update counts. The `int` elements of the array that is returned are ordered to correspond to the commands in the batch, which are ordered according to the order in which they were added to the batch. The elements in the array returned by the method `executeBatch` may be one of the following:
      1. A number greater than or equal to zero -- indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution
      2. A value of `SUCCESS_NO_INFO` -- indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown

         If one of the commands in a batch update fails to execute properly, this method throws a `BatchUpdateException`, and a JDBC driver may or may not continue to process the remaining commands in the batch. However, the driver's behavior must be consistent with a particular DBMS, either always continuing to process commands or never continuing to process commands. If the driver continues processing after a failure, the array returned by the method `BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts` will contain as many elements as there are commands in the batch, and at least one of the elements will be the following:

      3. A value of `EXECUTE_FAILED` -- indicates that the command failed to execute successfully and occurs only if a driver continues to process commands after a command fails

      The possible implementations and return values have been modified in the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 to accommodate the option of continuing to proccess commands in a batch update after a `BatchUpdateException` obejct has been thrown.

      Returns:
        an array of update counts containing one element for each command in the batch. The elements of the array are ordered according to the order in which commands were added to the batch.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the driver does not support batch statements. Throws `BatchUpdateException` (a subclass of `SQLException`) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set.

          boolean getMoreResults(int current)
                                 throws SQLException

      Moves to this `Statement` object's next result, deals with any current `ResultSet` object(s) according to the instructions specified by the given flag, and returns `true` if the next result is a `ResultSet` object.

      There are no more results when the following is true:

               // stmt is a Statement object
               ((stmt.getMoreResults(current) == false) && (stmt.getUpdateCount() == -1))

      Parameters:
        `current` - one of the following `Statement` constants indicating what should happen to current `ResultSet` objects obtained using the method `getResultSet`: `Statement.CLOSE_CURRENT_RESULT`, `Statement.KEEP_CURRENT_RESULT`, or `Statement.CLOSE_ALL_RESULTS`
      Returns:
        `true` if the next result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if it is an update count or there are no more results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the argument supplied is not one of the following: `Statement.CLOSE_CURRENT_RESULT`, `Statement.KEEP_CURRENT_RESULT` or `Statement.CLOSE_ALL_RESULTS`

      Note:If the columns which represent the auto-generated keys were not specified, the JDBC driver implementation will determine the columns which best represent the auto-generated keys.

      Returns:
        a `ResultSet` object containing the auto-generated key(s) generated by the execution of this `Statement` object
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed `Statement`

                          throws SQLException

      Executes the given SQL statement, which may return multiple results, and signals the driver that any auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval. The driver will ignore this signal if the SQL statement is not an `INSERT` statement, or an SQL statement able to return auto-generated keys (the list of such statements is vendor-specific).

      In some (uncommon) situations, a single SQL statement may return multiple result sets and/or update counts. Normally you can ignore this unless you are (1) executing a stored procedure that you know may return multiple results or (2) you are dynamically executing an unknown SQL string.

      The `execute` method executes an SQL statement and indicates the form of the first result. You must then use the methods `getResultSet` or `getUpdateCount` to retrieve the result, and `getMoreResults` to move to any subsequent result(s).

      Parameters:
        `sql` - any SQL statement
        `autoGeneratedKeys` - a constant indicating whether auto-generated keys should be made available for retrieval using the method `getGeneratedKeys`; one of the following constants: `Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS` or `Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS`
      Returns:
        `true` if the first result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if it is an update count or there are no results
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed `Statement` or the second parameter supplied to this method is not `Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS` or `Statement.NO_GENERATED_KEYS`.
