Re: PreparedStatement batch statement impossible

hi,

the API says you can use getGeneratedKeys() after executing the statements. But executeBatch() fails...

The driver has got a problem here:

The normal way would be:

1. Create a PreparedStatement with the GET_GENERATED_KEYS flag
2. executeBatch without Exception
3. call getGeneratedKeys()

Hans,

It's certainly not clear that this is a requirement of the API. Even
executeBatch is an optional requirement.

Does anyone have any clear direction on how to handle this ? It would
appear that even oracle's jdbc throws an error.

Hi Dave,

thanks for the quick reply.

without executeBatch the whole JDBC driver is worthless, we don't need a discussion on that :-)

Without being able to get the generatedKeys from an Batch, it is impossible to insert into multiple tables vendor-independently.

Mysql manages this without any problems.

This should be the way to go for the future.

I don't thing I have to tell the story of my ugly code:

if (MYSQL) doThePropperAPIStuff()
else if (POSTGRES) {
1. generate a bulk of future keys
2. pass out these future keys to all entries
}else if (ORACLE){
1. do more a less the same as in POSTGRES but with different Syntax
}

I don't think that sort of code was the intension of JDBC...

Well we accept patches. But obviously you aren't going to get away
from if (ORACLE) unless of course you are petitioning them to change
their driver ?

As far as the intention of JDBC, it has lots of ambiguity so it's not
clear that it had any real intention.
