hello all, i like the statement that some of u guys posting here..
i have a puzzle here, if i have more than one query to table, lets say 3rd query are depends on result of 2nd query which taken from 1st query result.
should i use prepared statement instead of statement? can we say that using of prepared statement can make our query result faster than using statement??
i have a function here which goes well when using statement st,
public void getMainlevelBcat(String loggedbizid){
String query = " SELECT DISTINCT category2.mainlevel FROM bizcategory2, category2 "+
" WHERE bizcategory2.catid = category2.catid "+
" AND bizcategory2.bizid ='"+loggedbizid+"' ";
try {
st = con.createStatement();
rs =st.executeQuery(query);
catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
can anybody chance it to new function using prepared statement??
