Re: JDBC - Need to declare variables for values in insert statement

I would recommend the reading of the excellent The Java Tutorial, that has a very well explained section about JDBC:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/index.html


and the chapter about PreparedStatements:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/prepared.html

Thanks to Edson and Dave for lightning responses.
I'm confident that your answers will do the job.
I'll follow up on the advice AFTER I get my coffee ;-)

I'm really focused on the NLP content of my research,
but I need a DB infrastructure to do it right.
(Not a bunch of files as in ancient times.)

You have two options:

st.execute("insert into hello values ('bKey', "+f1()+")");

or

PreparedStatement st = db.prepareStatement("insert into hello values ('bKey', ?)");
st.setInteger(1, f1());


where 1 is the first parameter, 2 is the second parameter, and so on.

public class JDBCVariableTest {

Connection db;
Statement st;
Boolean boo;

public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {

JDBCVariableTest testIt = new JDBCVariableTest();
testIt.helloVariables();
}

public int f1() { return 3;}

public void helloVariables() throws SQLException  {

int intVar = f1();  // OK in Java, but SQL/JDBC?

try {
db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql:Articles", "robertfutrelle", "<my pw>");
st = db.createStatement();
boo  = st.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS hello ( Name VARCHAR NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, value int)");

// Declare ....  ??
// INSTEAD OF THE LITERAL 4 VALUE (which works)
// how do I declare a variable and assign the f1() return value to it
// and then include it so the value 3 appears in the inserted record?
//st.execute("insert into hello values('aKey',4)");
st.execute("insert into hello values('bKey',4)");
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Bob,

Can you provide a snippet of code so I can understand what you mean by declare ?

Do the declare statements and insert all have to be done in one statement execute()?
That is, what is the scope of variables I declare?
I see a variety of syntax examples, some for older versions?
I'm using pg 9.2.2, so what are the rules/syntax for declaring and using variables?

Use case: I collect metadata from XML articles such as title, journalName, volume, year.  For each article I need to create a pg table record and insert the values for the various metadata items in the article.

This is my first post to this list.

Thanks,
