PreparedStatement st = (PreparedStatement)connection.createStatement();
st.setString(1, "Arg 1");
st.setString(2, "Arg 2");
String sql = "SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE a = ? AND b = ?";

I created an open source project that combines PreparedStatement's with the new varargs feature in J2SE 5.0 The project is online at http://diaz.sourceforge.net/

Hello Sean. What is the idea of the project?! At the moment, there are plenty of very promising O/R frameworks. You've got JDO and EJB3.0 whereas the latter one will be more or less a subset of the first one. However, EJB3.0 will also utilize Java 5 annotations. If you want to look even further, then have a look on JBoss and Hibernate. Both projects are linked together and JBoss is going to realize EJB3.0 based on Hibernate as the working horse for the persistence. Hibernate, however, can also be used in any other Java program, also stand-alone. Cheers, Daniel

can u tell me if it is write "SELECT ? FROM tablename WHERE user=?" if not then how can we write variable after SELECT

im having trouble using prepared statements to insert information from a form into a database. it works fine when the input is a number, but when it is a string (say a name or something) it crashes. and says that 'harry' is not allowed in this context, only constants variables or expressions allowed here'

my field is a text field in the database, so i don't know what could be wrong except for my prepared statement. i followed it right out of a (sigh) dreamweaver tutorial.. can you help me out?
