To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of parameterized queries and the different types of statements in Java.
A parameterized query is a SQL statement that allows you to pass parameters dynamically at runtime. This is useful when you want to execute the same query multiple times with different parameter values.
In Java, there are different types of statements that can be used to execute SQL queries. The options provided are:
A. PreparedStatement - This option is correct because a PreparedStatement is specifically designed to execute parameterized queries. It allows you to define placeholders (parameters) in the SQL statement and then set their values at runtime using methods like setString
, setInt
, etc.
B. ParameterizedStatement - This option is incorrect because there is no built-in interface or class in Java named ParameterizedStatement.
C. ParameterizedStatement and CallableStatement - This option is incorrect because while a CallableStatement can execute stored procedures with parameters, it is not specifically designed for executing parameterized queries. Therefore, only the PreparedStatement is the correct option.
D. All kinds of Statements (i.e. which implement a sub interface of Statement) - This option is incorrect because not all types of statements in Java can execute parameterized queries. Only the PreparedStatement is designed for this purpose.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) PreparedStatement.
