RE: Connection.setBytes()

The best point is just after you get a Connection object. ie:
conn.setAutoCommit(false);

Then when you issue any updates, you need to call conn.commit(); to commit
the changes to the database.

Hi, 
where is the point to turn autocommit off ? 
(how do you turn it off )
I am new to PREPARED STATEMENT...
Where can i find the documentation ? 
How much more efficient is it ?
Is it similar to stored procedures/functions ?
