What method is used to execute a stored procedure using a CallableStatement?
- callProcedure()
- execute()
- executeProcedure()
- executeQuery()
The execute() method is used to execute a stored procedure using a CallableStatement.
How can you retrieve the output of a stored procedure using CallableStatement?
- getOutput()
- getOutputParameterValue()
- getProcedureOutput()
- getResultSet()
You can retrieve the output of a stored procedure using getOutputParameterValue() method in CallableStatement, which returns the value of a designated OUT parameter after the stored procedure execution.
What is the impact on performance when using PreparedStatement for repeated database operations?
- Decreased performance due to compilation
- Improved security with parameterized queries
- Increased performance due to query caching
- No impact on performance
Using PreparedStatement can lead to increased performance as the query is precompiled and cached, reducing database load and improving execution speed.
How do you handle transaction management when using PreparedStatement and CallableStatement?
- Explicitly commit transactions using commit()
- Rollback transactions using rollback()
- Transactions are automatically managed
- Use Connection.setAutoCommit(false)
To handle transactions with PreparedStatement and CallableStatement, set auto-commit to false using Connection.setAutoCommit(false) and then explicitly commit or rollback transactions using commit() and rollback() methods, respectively.
To set a date in a PreparedStatement, the method _________ is used.
- setDate()
- setDateValue()
- setTime()
- setTimestamp()
The setDate() method is used to set a date in a PreparedStatement when working with JDBC.
When using a CallableStatement, the method _________ is used to register an OUT parameter.
- outParameter()
- registerOutParameter()
- registerOutput()
- setOutParameter()
When using a CallableStatement in JDBC, the registerOutParameter() method is used to register an OUT parameter.
How should a developer handle a scenario where a stored procedure returns multiple result sets?
- Close the connection and reopen it
- Ignore additional result sets
- Use multiple ResultSets and process each separately
- Use only the first result set
To handle multiple result sets returned by a stored procedure, the developer should use multiple ResultSets and process each one separately. Ignoring additional result sets or closing and reopening the connection are not appropriate solutions.
In a transactional context, if one of the PreparedStatement executions fails, what should be the approach for handling this situation?
- Commit the successful executions, ignore the failure
- Continue with the next PreparedStatement
- Manually undo the changes of successful executions
- Rollback the entire transaction
In a transactional context, if one of the PreparedStatement executions fails, the appropriate approach is to rollback the entire transaction to maintain data consistency. Committing successful executions and ignoring the failure may lead to inconsistent data.
What is the primary purpose of transaction management in database operations?
- Encrypting data
- Ensuring data consistency
- Managing user permissions
- Optimizing queries
The primary purpose of transaction management is to ensure data consistency by either committing or rolling back changes as a single, atomic operation.
Which SQL statement is used to start a transaction in a database?
- BEGIN TRANSACTION
- COMMIT TRANSACTION
- ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
- START TRANSACTION
The START TRANSACTION statement is used to begin a transaction in a database, marking the starting point for a series of SQL statements to be treated as a single unit.
