Setting multiple values in a preparedStatement

Question

Hi all, I am working on an application that has a couple of methods that use the same preparedStatement multiple times (in one case 6 or 7 times), (there is also more than 1 preparedStatement in the method) and I was wondering if there is a simple way to set up to 10 seperate variables in the preparedStatement without doing them line by line (as this is making for quite large methods. I have thought about making it into a seperate method, but that may not be possible due to the intergration of the method (there is a signicant amount of if this then that else if this and this that etc). I could make the methods seperate and pass around resultset but that has been mentioned in the past to be dangerous - Not to mention it will add more of a slowdown to an already troublesome bottleneck.
thanks for any thoughts on the matter.

this link was related to the progress database that
akin was looking out
for. This link was not related anyway with the
coding idea he requested.
and regarding coding its an idea to help ! if you
dont like I have another one to present. If u dont
like that then ...
//Golbal variable declaration
Connection con="";
PreparedStatement ps="";
ResultSet rs="";
purbilc void yourmethod(arg1,....arg10) throws
SQLException
try
con=Drivermanager.getConnection("your driver");
ps = con.prepareStatement("");
ps.setXXX(1,arg1);
ps.setXXX(10,arg10);
ps.executeQuery();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
ile(rs.next())
//retrieve the stuff and store them in an
arrayList for global use
finally
if(con!=null)
try
con.close();
con=null;
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}call yourmethod one time routine n number of times in
your methods .
Akin if it suits well and works out dont forget to
give me energy dollars(dukes) :))So your solution is to put all the information from a database into a bunch of arraylist and then start comparing the arraylists ? That more or less defeats the purpose of the database.
Ps. When working with databases you can't be guarenteed that the driver will take care of closing all your resources properly for you so you are best off to close them yourself (Those being the connection, the result set and the preparedStatement).
PPs. The duke dollars are worthless, they can't buy anything, and they certainly aren't energy. The only thing they offer is a token of appreciation for a provided answer. Also heed jschell's advice, don't try and give out advice on things that you don't have a full understanding on, or at the very least make it known that you are providing an answer that may not be the best suited for it.
