Re: [JDBC] Prepare Statement

Kris,
I have another question, I saw some discussion regarding
PreparedStatement work with array argument, I get a error when I try to
play with it.
E.g.
I have myfunction(int[]),
So,
PrepareStatement st = conn.prepareStatment("SELECT myfunction(?)");
String arr="{1,2,3}";
St.setString(1,arr};
Result rs = st.executeQuery();

Then it will complaint when it run:
Myfuntion(text) does not exist!

Did I miss something??


Thanks.

What's happening here is that you can only use prepared statements for
certain operations.  You can't for example prepare a CREATE TABLE
statement.  The driver examines the query to see if it is valid for
preparing and I believe the problem here is that with a callable
statement
it is examinging the query with "call" before it is transformed to a
SELECT, so it doesn't recognize it as a preparable.  This looks like a
bug
to me.
