Java Batch Update Example With SQL Statement & PreparedStatement

In this example, we are showing how to use Java Batch Update Example With SQL Statement & PreparedStatement

In batch update, update happens on the database as batches, which will increase the processing speed and performance. We can use batch updates for both JDBC Statement & PreparedStatement. You can see the JDBC examples for both Statement & PreparedStatement below.

In this tutorial, we are using H2 database and inserting some data using Java Batch Update

H2 is an open source software implementation of Java SQL database. The main features of H2 are.

  • Very fast, open source, JDBC API
  • Embedded and server modes; in-memory databases
  • Browser based Console application
  • Small footprint: around 1.5 MB jar file size

Reference -> http://www.h2database.com/html/main.html

Required Libraries

For using H2 database, You need to download

  1. h2-1.4.182.jar

JDBC Batch Update Exception Handling

In Batch update when an exception occurs, we will get a BatchUpdateException.

BatchUpdateException.getUpdateCounts();

Above method will provide details like how many records have updated, failed etc.

package com.h2.examples;

import java.sql.BatchUpdateException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

import org.h2.tools.DeleteDbFiles;

}
Output
OK: updateCount=1
OK: updateCount=1
OK: updateCount=1
updateCount=Statement.EXECUTE_FAILED
Exception Message Unique index or primary key violation: "PRIMARY KEY ON PUBLIC.PERSON(ID)"; SQL statement:
INSERT INTO PERSON(id, name) VALUES(3, 'C') [23505-182]

From output you can see that first 3 records of stmt.addBatch are different. But last one is same as third one, So here BatchUpdateException happens.

Here first 3 records are printing as "OK: updateCount=1" and "updateCount=Statement.EXECUTE_FAILED" for last record.

It is upto the Database driver whether complete record is discard or commit the correct data when BatchUpdateException occurs
