Java JDBC PreparedStatement Example

The PreparedStatement interface is a subinterface of Statement. It is used to execute a parameterized query.

A SQL statement is precompiled and stored in a PreparedStatement object. This object can then be used to efficiently execute this statement multiple times.

JDBC PreparedStatement Select Records Example

Here we have a users table in a database and we will query a list of users from the database table by id.
Steps to process select SQL statement with JDBC:
  1. Establishing a connection.
  2. Create a statement.
  3. Execute the query.
  4. Using try-with-resources Statements to Automatically Close JDBC Resources
