## org.hsqldb.jdbc
Class jdbcStatement

    java.lang.Object
      org.hsqldb.jdbc.jdbcStatement

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.sql.Statement

Direct Known Subclasses:
  jdbcPreparedStatement

public class jdbcStatement
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.sql.Statement

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.

### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

JRE 1.1.x Notes:

In general, JDBC 2 support requires Java 1.2 and above, and JDBC3 requires Java 1.4 and above. In HSQLDB, support for methods introduced in different versions of JDBC depends on the JDK version used for compiling and building HSQLDB.

Since 1.7.0, all JDBC 2 methods can be called while executing under the version 1.1.x Java Runtime EnvironmentTM. However, in addition to this technique requiring explicit casts to the org.hsqldb.jdbcXXX classes, some of these method calls require `int` values that are defined only in the JDBC 2 or greater version of the `ResultSet` interface. For this reason these values are defined in `jdbcResultSet`.

In a JRE 1.1.x environment, calling JDBC 2 methods that take or return the JDBC2-only `ResultSet` values can be achieved by referring to them in parameter specifications and return value comparisons, respectively, as follows:

     jdbcResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD
     jdbcResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY
     jdbcResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE
     jdbcResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
     //etc.

However, please note that code written to use HSQLDB JDBC 2 features under JDK 1.1.x will not be compatible for use with other JDBC 2 drivers. Please also note that this feature is offered solely as a convenience to developers who must work under JDK 1.1.x due to operating constraints, yet wish to use some of the more advanced features available under the JDBC 2 specification.

Method Detail

### executeQuery

    public java.sql.ResultSet executeQuery(java.lang.String sql)
                                    throws java.sql.SQLException

  Executes the given SQL statement, which returns a single `ResultSet` object.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  This method should not be used for statements other than SELECT queries.

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not throw an exception when the statement is a DDL statement or an UPDATE or DELETE statement. This will certainly change in future version.

  Specified by:
    `executeQuery` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  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:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the given SQL statement produces anything other than a single `ResultSet` object

### executeUpdate

    public int executeUpdate(java.lang.String sql)
                      throws java.sql.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.

  Specified by:
    `executeUpdate` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `sql` - an SQL `INSERT`, `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statement or an SQL statement that returns nothing
  Returns:
    either the row count for `INSERT`, `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statements, or `0` for SQL statements that return nothing
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the given SQL statement produces a `ResultSet` object

### close

    public void close()
               throws java.sql.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: A `Statement` object is automatically closed when it is garbage collected. When a `Statement` object is closed, its current `ResultSet` object, if one exists, is also closed.

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### getMaxFieldSize

    public int getMaxFieldSize()
                        throws java.sql.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`, and `LONGVARCHAR` columns. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns zero, meaning there is no limit.

  Specified by:
    `getMaxFieldSize` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the current column size limit for columns storing character and binary values; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `setMaxFieldSize(int)`

### setMaxFieldSize

    public void setMaxFieldSize(int max)
                         throws java.sql.SQLException

  Sets the limit for the maximum number of bytes in a `ResultSet` column storing character or binary values to the given number of bytes. This limit applies only to `BINARY`, `VARBINARY`, `LONGVARBINARY`, `CHAR`, `VARCHAR`, and `LONGVARCHAR` fields. If the limit is exceeded, the excess data is silently discarded. For maximum portability, use values greater than 256.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are simply ignored; HSQLDB always stores the full number of bytes when dealing with any of the field types mentioned above. These types all have an absolute maximum element upper bound determined by the Java array index limit java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE. For XXXBINARY types, this translates to Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes. For XXXCHAR types, this translates to 2 * Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes (2 bytes / character)

  Specified by:
    `setMaxFieldSize` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `max` - the new column size limit in bytes; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
  See Also:
    `getMaxFieldSize()`

### getMaxRows

    public int getMaxRows()
                   throws java.sql.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.

  Specified by:
    `getMaxRows` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the current maximum number of rows for a `ResultSet` object produced by this `Statement` object; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `setMaxRows(int)`

### setMaxRows

    public void setMaxRows(int max)
                    throws java.sql.SQLException

  Sets the limit for the maximum number of rows that any `ResultSet` object can contain to the given number. If the limit is exceeded, the excess rows are silently dropped.

  Specified by:
    `setMaxRows` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `max` - the new max rows limit; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the condition max >= 0 is not satisfied
  See Also:
    `getMaxRows()`

### setEscapeProcessing

    public void setEscapeProcessing(boolean enable)
                             throws java.sql.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.

  Specified by:
    `setEscapeProcessing` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `enable` - `true` to enable escape processing; `false` to disable it
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### getQueryTimeout

    public int getQueryTimeout()
                        throws java.sql.SQLException

  Retrieves the number of seconds the driver will wait for a `Statement` object to execute. If the limit is exceeded, an `SQLException` is thrown.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns zero, meaning there is no limit.

  Specified by:
    `getQueryTimeout` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the current query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `setQueryTimeout(int)`

### setQueryTimeout

    public void setQueryTimeout(int seconds)
                         throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are ignored; HSQLDB waits an unlimited amount of time for statement execution requests to return.

  Specified by:
    `setQueryTimeout` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `seconds` - the new query timeout limit in seconds; zero means there is no limit
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the condition seconds >= 0 is not satisfied
  See Also:
    `getQueryTimeout()`

### cancel

    public void cancel()
                throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not support aborting a SQL statement; calls to this method are ignored.

  Specified by:
    `cancel` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### getWarnings

    public java.sql.SQLWarning getWarnings()
                                    throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB never produces Statement warnings; this method always returns null.

  Specified by:
    `getWarnings` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the first `SQLWarning` object or `null` if there are no warnings
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed statement

### clearWarnings

    public void clearWarnings()
                       throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including HSQLDB 1.7.2, `SQLWarning` objects are never produced for Statement Objects; calls to this method are ignored.

  Specified by:
    `clearWarnings` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### setCursorName

    public void setCursorName(java.lang.String name)
                       throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB does not support named cursors, updateable results or table locking via `SELECT FOR UPDATE`; calls to this method are ignored.

  Specified by:
    `setCursorName` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the new cursor name, which must be unique within a connection
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs

### execute

    public boolean execute(java.lang.String sql)
                    throws java.sql.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).

  Specified by:
    `execute` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  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:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `getResultSet()`, `getUpdateCount()`, `getMoreResults()`

### getResultSet

    public java.sql.ResultSet getResultSet()
                                    throws java.sql.SQLException

  Retrieves the current result as a `ResultSet` object. This method should be called only once per result.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Without an interceding call to executeXXX, each invocation of this method will produce a new, initialized ResultSet instance referring to the current result, if any.

  Specified by:
    `getResultSet` in interface `java.sql.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:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `execute(java.lang.String)`

### getUpdateCount

    public int getUpdateCount()
                       throws java.sql.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.

  Specified by:
    `getUpdateCount` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the current result as an update count; -1 if the current result is a `ResultSet` object or there are no more results
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `execute(java.lang.String)`

### getMoreResults

    public boolean getMoreResults()
                           throws java.sql.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:

          (!getMoreResults() && (getUpdateCount() == -1)

  Specified by:
    `getMoreResults` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    `true` if the next result is a `ResultSet` object; `false` if it is an update count or there are no more results
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  See Also:
    `execute(java.lang.String)`

### setFetchDirection

    public void setFetchDirection(int direction)
                           throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB supports only `FETCH_FORWARD`.

  Setting any other value will throw an `SQLException` stating that the operation is not supported.

  Specified by:
    `setFetchDirection` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `direction` - the initial direction for processing rows
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the given direction is not one of `ResultSet.FETCH_FORWARD`, `ResultSet.FETCH_REVERSE`, or `ResultSet.FETCH_UNKNOWN`

    HSQLDB throws for all values except `FETCH_FORWARD`

  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `getFetchDirection()`

### getFetchDirection

    public int getFetchDirection()
                          throws java.sql.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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB always returns FETCH_FORWARD.

  Specified by:
    `getFetchDirection` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the default fetch direction for result sets generated from this `Statement` object
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `setFetchDirection(int)`

### setFetchSize

    public void setFetchSize(int rows)
                      throws java.sql.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. The number of rows specified affects only result sets created using this statement. If the value specified is zero, then the hint is ignored. The default value is zero.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, calls to this method are ignored; HSQLDB fetches each result completely as part of executing its statement.

  Specified by:
    `setFetchSize` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `rows` - the number of rows to fetch
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, or the condition 0 <= `rows` <= `this.getMaxRows()` is not satisfied.

    HSQLDB never throws an exception, since calls to this method are always ignored.

  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `getFetchSize()`

### getFetchSize

    public int getFetchSize()
                     throws java.sql.SQLException

  Retrieves the number of result set rows that is the default fetch size for `ResultSet` objects generated from this `Statement` object. If this `Statement` object has not set a fetch size by calling the method `setFetchSize`, the return value is implementation-specific.

  HSQLDB-Specific Information

  Including 1.7.2, this method always returns 0. HSQLDB fetches each result completely as part of executing its statement

  Specified by:
    `getFetchSize` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    the default fetch size for result sets generated from this `Statement` object
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `setFetchSize(int)`

### getResultSetConcurrency

    public int getResultSetConcurrency()
                                throws java.sql.SQLException

  Retrieves the result set concurrency for `ResultSet` objects generated by this `Statement` object.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Including 1.7.2, HSQLDB supports only `CONCUR_READ_ONLY` concurrency.

  Specified by:
    `getResultSetConcurrency` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Returns:
    either `ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY` or `ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE` (not supported)
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

### addBatch

    public void addBatch(java.lang.String sql)
                  throws java.sql.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`.

  NOTE: This method is optional.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Starting with 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

  Specified by:
    `addBatch` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Parameters:
    `sql` - typically this is a static SQL `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statement
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs, or the driver does not support batch updates
  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `executeBatch()`

### clearBatch

    public void clearBatch()
                    throws java.sql.SQLException

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

  NOTE: This method is optional.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

  Specified by:
    `clearBatch` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  Throws:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the driver does not support batch updates
  Since:
    JDK 1.2 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)
  See Also:
    `addBatch(java.lang.String)`

### executeBatch

    public int[] executeBatch()
                       throws java.sql.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

  A driver is not required to implement this method. 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.

  ### HSQLDB-Specific Information:

  Starting with HSQLDB 1.7.2, this feature is supported.

  HSQLDB stops execution of commands in a batch when one of the commands results in an exception. The size of the returned array equals the number of commands that were executed successfully.

  When the product is built under the JAVA1 target, an exception is never thrown and it is the responsibility of the client software to check the size of the returned update count array to determine if any batch items failed. To build and run under the JAVA2 target, JDK/JRE 1.3 or higher must be used.

  Specified by:
    `executeBatch` in interface `java.sql.Statement`
  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:
    `java.sql.SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the driver does not support batch statements. Throws `BatchUpdateException` (a subclass of `java.sql.SQLException`) if one of the commands sent to the database fails to execute properly or attempts to return a result set.
  Since:
    JDK 1.3 (JDK 1.1.x developers: read the new overview for jdbcStatement)

### getConnection

    public java.sql.Connection getConnection()
