Re: macaddr data type and prepared statements

Hi Folks,

OK Think I've got it sorted... At least I'm inserting using a prepared
statement, the following worked fine. Anyone got any suggestions as to
why I shouldn't do it this way, it feels right but its too simple so I'm
being cautious.

Cheers

Steve

org.postgresql.util.PGobject MACADDR = new org.postgresql.util.PGobject();
MACADDR.setType("macaddr");
org.postgresql.util.PGobject CIDR = new org.postgresql.util.PGobject();
CIDR.setType("cidr");


try {

           Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
           conn = DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc_url, jdbc_user,
jdbc_pass);

           PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement("insert into
log (date, time, mac, network) values (?,?,?,?)");

           while (inputLineIterator.hasNext()) {
               String[] line = inputLineIterator.next();
               if (line == null) {
                   continue;
               }
           MACADDR.setValue(line[2]);
           CIDR.setValue(line[3]);

           stmt.setDate(1, new java.sql.Date(
dfmt.parse(line[0]).getTime()) );
           stmt.setTime(2, new java.sql.Time(
tfmt.parse(line[1]).getTime()) );
           stmt.setObject(3, MACADDR);
           stmt.setString(4, CIDR);
           stmt.execute();
           }

           stmt.close();
}
